Olivia Isabel Rodrigo (born February 20, 2003) is an American singer-songwriter and actress. She first rose to prominence for starring on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark (2016–2019) and the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (2019–2022). Rodrigo signed with Geffen Records in 2021, releasing the international chart-topping single "Drivers License" which helped raise Rodrigo to prominence. Her debut studio album Sour was released that same year, and won her three Grammy Awards among other accolades. A Disney+ documentary, Olivia Rodrigo: Driving Home 2 U, followed in 2022, chronicling her creative process with Sour. The following year, Rodrigo released her second studio album, Guts, which was a critical and commercial success. Overall, Rodrigo has achieved three Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, two Billboard 200 number-one albums, and five multi-platinum certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

@WilliamNot: if I get off the waitlist, 1000%
TruthTheX
20:05
So I sincerely, really, really hope so
WilliamNot
20:05
i had a pretty similair cycle to you last year

@TruthTheX: sending you good vibes
TruthTheX
20:05
Thank you Fanta
WilliamNot
20:06
all i think it really took for me was I told them the magic "if you say yes I'll commit rn no matter what," and they accepted me within a week

@WarmLimeLacroix: lacroix does suck be fr

20:06
and then they even gave me a little tuition trim off the top
WilliamNot
20:06
so if you're willing, i can testify that it works

@WilliamNot: any tips? Frankly I think imma pull out of other WLs I don’t want to chase after them. I’ve told them both in my initial email response to the waitlist decision and my LOCI last week that I’d attend without question
TruthTheX
20:07
In the email a month ago, I said I’d pull off all other waitlists and withdraw from all other applications if admitted

Is there really any downside to telling multiple schools "I will absolutely go if accepted"
WilliamNot
20:07
i think honestly the magic words could be "regardless of aid"
TruthTheX
20:08
I haven’t mentioned anything about tuition or scholarships. I’ll be honest a lack of scholarship won’t in any way dissuade me but I was advised by a friend who is a lawyer not to say anything because maybe I’ll get lucky and get a little something. In my next LOCI, towards the end of this month if I don’t get any update before then, would you recommend I tell them that explicitly?
TruthTheX
20:10
Also since you’re a current student who kinda went through the same thing I am… do you think another LoR would strengthen my app at this point or would Dean Andy and the committee not care (or worse would it backfire)
WilliamNot
20:10
i'm only a fake lawyer, but that is what I did, and then I was still able to apply for aid and I got it.
WilliamNot
20:11
I sent one LOCI with the WL, but then after some pondering I did a "will go right away regardless of aid" to GULC, UVA, and Mich. GULC responded in like maybe a week
TruthTheX
20:11
I’ll say it in my next one. My next LOCI was just gonna be “I’m still interested and have another LoR from a supervisor at my job” so saying that I will attend regardless of aid and I’m willing to wait through August probably be slightly stronger
WilliamNot
20:12
obviously every year and person is different, but I wasn't on the top waitlist either
TruthTheX
20:12
I sent a soft LOCI in the form of an email with my initial WL, and then an official one when I got the feeler email last week. But because of that email I rushed editing it down and now feel like I left out important details like the point regarding aid etc
WilliamNot
20:13
once you do the aid thing, there's really nothing more they can get from you, but I do think knowing they don't even have to pay you is big
WilliamNot
20:13
you're all good, if you just say what you said you would, and say "after consideration, i'd go for no dollars" I think that'd be good
WilliamNot
20:14
show youre thinking about it and would drop everything. maybe wouldn't even say you can wait, put the onus on them to risk losing your money too lol
TruthTheX
20:14
… do you think it is worth emailing them over or would that be a bad look considering I JUST submitted a LOCI
TruthTheX
20:14
Like I sent my LOCI on the 23rd
TruthTheX
20:15
I just know everyone says to not be overbearing and kinda annoying and don’t want to come across too desperate. Idk where the balance is so, just as an aside I appreciate your insight btw ty
WilliamNot
20:18
hey no prob this process was so awful I like to help. I heard the same advice but i'm not sure if overbearing would count 3 total emails. Because once you send this one, there's really nothing left to say other than like once a month "hey still want to." Overbearing is probably more constant emails and calls. If I remember correctly, their deposit deadline hasn't passed yet? I waited until the day after their deadline (could prob do day of) just to be right on top of mind when they know some people aren't going now and I can just take their spot
TruthTheX
20:23
I think tomorrow (or technically tonight at like midnight so it’s top of the inbox) what I’ll do is email them saying, “hey, I know the initial deposit deadline was yesterday and I am sure your office is busy preparing to review waitlisted applicants so I apologize for not saying this in my prior correspondence. In my previous letter I was so excited to talk about all the things I look forward to potentially taking part in that I wanted to make sure my position is fully clarified. Regardless of aid, I would withdraw from all other institutions and agree to a binding deposit should I be fortunate enough to receive an offer of admission. Thanks” basically? Sorry I just kinda need reassurance it’s been keeping me up at night haha
