Ah, another thing I just recalled about our experience with SCU - I think they like being shown love from applicants. When D was waitlisted, they sent an email saying there would be some online waitlist webinar or something like that with the strong suggestion that if you wanted to be accepted at this point, you really needed to attend. So it sounds like they take that kind of demonstrated interest into consideration. (D chose not to attend so not sure how it actually would have turned out if she had.)
