Advice for people that are waitlisted?

<p>I got waitlisted for three collegs: UChicago, NYU, and UMichigan. No acceptances. Any advice? My options? Getting off the waitlist?</p>

<p>Hello! I also got waitlisted to UChicago unfortunately, but thankfully I received admission to Cornell, Dartmouth, Columbia, Penn, Rice, and Northwestern.</p>

<p>From what I’ve heard, acceptance after being waitlisted is generally really low (around 2-5%), my counselor told me to just see being waitlisted as being rejected. </p>
