Waitlisted, what are my chances?

I recently found out I was waitlisted at UW Seattle, my top school. What are my chances of getting off? I have a 3.7 unweighted GPA and a 3.8 weighted, I’ve taken 5 AP classes and 3 honors classes, and I got a 28 on the act and an 1850 on the SAT. I’m out of state in California. I really really want to go there and I want to know if there’s any hope. Thanks!

I would ask if you have any other alternative good schools to go to? And then have you considered appeal?

Penn State is my #2 which I got into, so i’m going there if I don’t get it. I read that you can only appeal if there is “new information”, which I don’t have :frowning:
