Any suggestions for waitlisted student?

My daughter is in the international student pool, and we applied 40K financial aid per year. Tufts is not need-blind to international students, so I don’t know if it was the financial aid application that caused Tufts to waitlist my daughter.

I just read a survey on a collegeapp forum for Chinese students, and it shows that almost all the admitted students are those who didn’t apply FA, while most of waitlisted students are those who applied FA.

So, is there a chance for waitlisted students who apply FA to get off from WL? Or is Tufts just waiting for waitlisted students to withdraw their financial aid applications?
