A question regarding rec letters and waitlists

Over the past few years, Umich accepted (almost) zero students off of their waitlist.
Some reasons for this is that admission has gotten more competitive and that has led to a larger number of students attending. This removed the need to accept anyone off of the waitlist because the quota for the number of people in a class was already met.
I just wish people would take my advice and move on to another school. I don’t think it’s very healthy to continuously think about this and stress over it.
