Best Strategy to Get Accepted from Priority Waitlist

I was given the option for the Priority Waitlists at Mellon and CIT.

Which Priority Waitlist should I select, or should I ask to be considered at Dietrich?

I am fine with my options for a primary major in Mellon, CIT, or Dietrich–I plan to do Computer Science as a minor or secondary major, and this is why I want to go to CMU.

I am going ahead with this plan because I was rejected for SCS, and double-majoring in CS and something else at CMU is an easier path for me than trying to transfer into SCS. However… because I wasn’t directly accepted into anything else, I need to get into CMU off these Priority Waitlists first.

What do you guys think?
