How to politely ask about your status on the waitlist

Hello, I'm an international student who has been waitlisted at Wellesley. I've already sent my LOCI and now I'm considering asking my regional counselor my status on the waitlist. I want to know if I have a good chance of getting in. I want to politely ask them this without seeming too pushy or rude. Any advice? Thanks!

Their most recent common data set doesn't indicate whether they rank their waitlist, but it does say that only 36 out of 1,245 got in off the waitlist. That means you may hope to get lucky, but you should proceed with your backup plan.
