i got waitlisted at one of my dream schools and i was notified in the email that i was currently ranked #38 out of about 100 on the waitlist. the school had also set up a system where if someone withdrew from the WL you could see in real time your number go up, basically a leaderboard. so i was glued to it all the time thinking, i could still make it. it reminded me somewhat of the ranking system that dauntless had in divergent.
