One last thought-- in a hyper-competitive environment, it pays to be flexible and nimble. If you can, I mean.
That said, if you were waitlisted at a variety of places, bearing in mind what Ivy and Val note above (that is, that most of them are probably seeking MG kids with highly involved parents who drive their entire families pretty hard);
it is LIKELY-- maybe even "highly likely" that this is a gigantic game of musical chairs, in which all of the other kids in the pool ALSO have multiple acceptances and waitlisting options on the table.
Wait a few weeks and see what opens up-- find out what dates and deadlines for commitments look like, and keep calling your top two preferred options to check in on that waitlist.
Once they know that you're that serious, they probably WILL tell you that you'll "likely" or "not likely" get off the wait list.
