Multiple waitlist question

I’m on 6 WLs at this point: USF, Tufts, NYMC, Stony Brook, Upstate, and Methodist.

As I’m preparing my writing to reapply, I was wondering what my prospects potentially are. My chances seem very low at each individual school either due to them being ranked or the sheer waitlist size but 6 WLs usually means at least 1 A apparently. Since they’ll be able to see that I have no acceptances starting tomorrow, would that make them more likely to accept me or pass me over in favor of trying to “poach” a more competitive applicant on the waitlist from their PTE school?

This is impossible to answer.

Hope for the best, but prepare for Plan B

There's no way to know how they react. Focus on the things you can control, and any plans to take an offer. I assume you would be happy to attend any of the 6 on the list. You can at least rank them according to your preference or affordability, but until you get an offer, the exercise will help execute a quick decision.

Otherwise, prepare for reapplication.
