Accept every WL. If it is not money, you can always convince your parents. Especially if the choice is CC or Brandeis or Rochester. No disrespect to CC it is a wonderful option of course. Boston especially is a great city with easy transportation up and down the east coast less than 4 hours from most parts. Rochester is drivable from the locations you mentioned. Plus remind your parents that they should not have let you apply to schools they were not willing to let you go to based on distance
As other threads have noted look at your odds from the common data set, pick the one you want or have the taken the most from their waitlist. Have your GC contact that one to find out why you were waitlisted. If it is a limited major maybe she or you can have a conversation with admissions about another major. Send them your grades if they are good, a letter with any new accomplishments and telling the one that you would attend if you are admitted exactly that but you have to mean it (if there are financial considerations those have to be taken into account). Send a similar letter to the other 3 but just let them know you are still very interested.
