Priority Waitlist- how is this different from regular wait list?

HereisSara

I was put on a wait list, so I sent that school a LOCI about 2 weeks ago; I got an email a couple days ago saying I have been moved and put on Priority Waitlist. But what is the difference between Priority Waitlist and regular wait list?

Also, how do often should I follow up with the school so I can improve my chance of getting accepted?
Should I send a "Why X School" essay or another LOCI in the next 3 weeks or so?
Any advice on how I can follow up with the school so they don't forget about me, and I don't seem like a stalker?

Thanks so much.

Maybe a quick email saying you're still very interested and you appreciate that they're reviewing your application. And an LOCI sounds like a great idea. I think Priority WL may mean a quicker review, or that apps in this group are maybe considered more competitive than the ones on the regular WL. These are just guesses, though.
