Fear of "Plan to Enroll" (PTE)... Will waitlisted schools pass me over if I secure my only acceptance?

Hey everyone, I’m in a bit of a spot and could use some advice.

I currently have one acceptance and I’ve already paid the deposit to hold my seat, but I haven't clicked "Plan to Enroll" in the portal yet. I’m still sitting on a few waitlists for schools I’d much rather attend, and I’m honestly terrified that if I "Plan to Enroll" at my current school, the waitlisted ones will see it, and just pass me over.

Does anyone know what the schools actually see on their end? If I select PTE now, does it look like I'm committing to that school and not interested in waitlist movement anymore? I really don't want to lose my only seat because I waited too long, but I also don't want to accidentally "reject" my top choices by looking like I've moved on.

Has anyone dealt with this or know how the admissions offices actually view the PTE status when they’re looking at people on the waitlist? Thanks!
