Appeal on waitlist?

Is there any drawbacks to appealing while being on the waitlist like if your appeal gets rejected, will you also be rejected from the waitlist? Will also you be notified later at all for the waitlist? I’m a freshman.

If you new and compelling information not originally submitted on your application, then you can appeal. If you appeal while on the waitlist and you are rejected, you will still remain on the waitlist. You will not be notified any later than the rest of the waitlisted applicants. You have until May 1 submit an appeal.
