Sorry to hear about the rejection from UM. It seems like a pretty tough place to find a way into. For what it's worth, my (uninformed / conjectural) sense is that probably few people if any make it off the waitlist.
Congrats to those of you with plans for the fall--it's quite exciting! I take it that no one has heard anything from UW-Madison this week? Its radio silence from them, which is quite agonizing.
