“is it worth it to take the spot on the other four?”

OP, are you sure we can help you? Care to tell us your intended major?

“Maybe Dartmouth, but not other 3 schools.”

@princeton2031: If that’s how your critical thinking works, I hope you really don’t have anything to do with Princeton.

Of course, waitlist can mean anything from “soft rejection” to “almost an acceptance” (but often closer to the former). Accept waitlist spots only at schools you like more than the ones you have. As simple as that.
