Wait listed at UVa.....lil help

[EW1779]

Hey kids....

I got waitlisted @ UVa....which is disappointing b/c I got a really positive vibe from them. They're my first choice...so I am wondering if anyone out there is in the same boat or has gotten in off the wait list. They don't use a ranking system so I really have no idea what to expect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
