Most waitlist students, if not all, in the selective college group where in committee already. That’s where they decided to waitlist.
Coming off waitlist is a different animal. It depends on actual acceptances after May 1 and institutional needs.
It’s generally not a stack ranked process.
All waitlist students are deemed qualified.
Good luck. It really stinks to have to wait.
But you are clearly talented, so focus on that and what you can control. Like focusing on choosing from your acceptances. Go revisit if you can or take the student led video tours and day in the life videos on CollegeReel.
One thing you can do is to act as though the wl schools were never applied to by you , that’s what my d tried.
And she said no thanks to a couple.
Taking back control made her feel more empowered. And she focused on the yes schools and it became fun again.
It was a good way to just move on.
