Heop and waitlist help!

I was waitlisted by NYU yesterday but was considered for the opportunity program(did my interview and everything) however I was ultimately waitlisted. NYU says that by August they will notify those on waitlist of there decision, however me being considered for heop would have to attend the summer program running through July in order to attend NYU. Does being on the waitlist now make me not eligible for heop and does it basically mean I will be rejected eventually since I was considered for heop but might miss the summer program due to being waitlisted?
