I let the professor who would serve as my adviser that I was waitlisted, and he said that he'll try and move things along from his side. Aside from that, I guess I just have to twiddle my thumbs until my status changes.
Okay, thank you for your input. Let me now make a few points,
1. First of all, "EVERYONE waitlisted has made similar posts to HJin's in various threads and the results board" is a false, overly generalized statement. Many people, myself included, patiently wait and respect others of their right to decide until the official April deadline.
2. Even if many waitlisted candidates make such posts, that does not make it right. To give an extreme example, just because there are many people cheating during an exam, it does not make cheating an appropriate action to take. Therefore, you are a presenting a weak argument.
3. By saying "There are some ppl who make decisions and never tell the other schools they aren't going so the waitlisted ppl are left in limbo", you are giving a negative connotation for people who have received multiple acceptances. Yes, some, as a courtesy, choose to withdraw from other schools after they make their decisions, but you cannot blame others who choose to do otherwise.
@PsychChick I believe I was also admitted. I received a phone call. Is that how you were informed? I did not get a formal letter. It seems like a great program. What are your thoughts? Feel free to PM me.
