There is always hope, but probably not until March through May.

I'd assume OP means s/he's a high alternate -- top 1/3 of the waitlist.

More than likely you will get in one when people with multiple offers pick where they are going.

Top 1/3 (33%) * 3 schools = 99% chance!!

Actually 1/3 * 3 = 100% chance!


So no need to worry we've calculated your future! you'll get into one for sure!
