So, I'm waitlisted, what do I do?

I know it would be terribly difficult to not accept a spot on the waitlist, but it would bring closure. If I had been waitlisted, I would have denied my spot without a second glance because I wouldn’t really want to keep that dream alive. My friend was waitlisted at Harvard last year and it was really hard to see him hoping for Harvard up until mid-June when he found out that he had been rejected. I don’t know, maybe this is callous of me. I’m extremely idealistic and wouldn’t want anybody to “give up a dream,” I just think it’s harder than it’s worth in this case.
