I'm wait listed. What should I do?

<p>I just found out that I am on wait list.
If I accept this "Please indicate by May 1 whether or not you would like to accept or decline your wait list spot.", will I be allowed to change my mind to going to other school(UMich)?
Is there any disadvantage when I accept my wait list spot?
How long will it take for me to get accepted in here, IF I do?</p>

<p>I was waitlisted as well, and i'm not quite sure what that means either. I accepted my waitlist spot, bc i still want to go to uva. the problem is i think you dont hear about the waitlist spot til june so i will already have replied to another school and will have to lose the deposit. if you are still committed to going to uva, then go with the waitlist.</p>

<p>are you sure?
or should i call the admission office?</p>

<p>It's true....accept your waitlist position and if a space opens for you, you have the option of accepting or declining. Yes, if you decide to go with UVA, you will loose your deposit at the other school. Only you can decide if it's worth it. Good luck!</p>

<p>Also, if you get accepted off of the waitlist, you only get a few days (2 or 3?)to confirm it by sending in the deposit to UVA.</p>
