Are you doing anything while waiting, i.e. sending mails, extra material, recs?

I was waitlisted also, and I told them I would be going to assessment day in NYC at the end of January. I dont know what else we could be doing at this point... (or what else I could send them?)

^^ I would love to go to an assessment day, but Judge is not inviting waitlisted candidates for one.
I have already sent a general message reaffirming my intentions to study there, and I think I will ask one of my professors to send an additional rec.

I haven't posted much on here, but I have thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's profiles. A little about me:

Age: 36 (It's never too late, right?)
Gender: Female
Eth: Caucasian
Nationality: USA
Current Location: Fort Worth, Texas

Work Exp: 12 years in sports journalism, 10 in Fort Worth
Applying: 2010

I've picked three schools based on location, ROI and my career goals. I've toiled in the journalism biz far too long. I'd like to get into marketing, especially sports marketing. I have not pushed the button on any apps yet.

Schools I'm applying to:
TCU Neeley (my hometown school has a highly-regarded little MBA program)
Oregon Lundquist (Sports Marketing program)
Northwestern Medill (MS in Integrated Marketing Communications)
