Me too!
This is answered by people in past years when stuck in this situation. Partly depends on pricing... some people have dropped the accepted school, deciding they either couldn't afford it or really, really wanted to go to their #1 choice.
only plus side
Yeah I agree with some of the other answers to this question. For me, I've been accepted into Purdue and I'm still deciding between Upenn and Purdue, which is tough because I've only been waitlisted at Upenn. Most likely I'll confirm my acceptance at Purdue and pay the deposit. If I end up getting into Upenn and decide I'd rather go there, if I can afford to I'll just take the loss on my deposit for Purdue and go to Upenn.
This happened to me in May during the last cycle. UF was my dream school and I was waitlisted, I was rejected IS, and accepted to IL. I had already paid my deposit and signed for an apartment in Illinois (I wasn't going to lose an acceptance!). The tuition difference wasn't that striking, especially after considering I had already signed for a $5000 apartment (for the year), paid $660 for parking, and so on. I also factored in the flights I'd probably take over 4 years and the stress I'd be putting on my pets with a 20 hour drive.
Purdue is an interesting choice I think. I think the school is great but the one thing holding me back from committing right now is I really didn't like Lafayette... I know in the end it's the education that matters but I'd prefer to live in a more lively town
I couldn't agree more! I think Purdue is better at integrating clinical skills than UPenn even, but still curriculum isn't everything. We also have to be in a good place mentally and emotionally so succeed in school!
... Purdue would be my top choice for sure if it was IS.
According to the letter I got from WSU, yes.
I went to Purdue for undergrad. No, there is nothing special about Lafayette, but if you are younger still (22/23) and like to go out and drink and socialize you can find some fun places. I didn't turn 21 until my senior year and I managed to find plenty of things to entertain me outside of bars also. Because it is a college town, there seems to be more of an integrated family feel there because there's no where else to go
Now that I'm older and I don't really drink or eat out, I'd be a bit more worried about moving back to West Lafayette, but I could make it work. I had friends who grew up there and loved it. 
Yes, if you want one from WSU just e-mail and they will set up an appointment for you
Maybe sign up for the summer classes now, and wait for the acceptance. If you are planning on reapplying next year ( worst case scenario) then the admission committee will see that you attempted to make up for your lower grades, which they should appreciate.
I saw in an old thread that one time Wisconsin made it to close to #90 on the list which is way more than I ever expected. I know it's a different school, but just offering a little bit of hope!
When I went to Davis as an undergrad (graduated last year), the admissions director told me they usually will accept up to #10-15 on the wait list. I'm not sure if there is only one wait list or a separate one for OOS as well. Otherwise I think this number only refers to IS wait list.
My mistake in regards to numbers
however, the point I was trying to make was to not completely give up hope.
Do you think they have a single waitlist or an IS and OOS waitlist?
Maybe it's different for UC Davis, but pretty much every other school I've heard of has IS and OOS wait lists as separate because of funding purposes. They can't offer an in state student a spot when an out of state student drops because the spot that is available is for a student who is going to pay out of state tuition.
