as far as I am concerned, at least for a Master's, it doesn't matter how you get in, as long as you are in. I mean, sure there's stupid pride, but if it is the difference between top 10 and top 50 would you let pride get in the way....yeah right.

Now, if waitlist meant no funding for a Phd, that's a different ball of wax, but all things being equal, who cares as long as you think you fit in there. If you are going to place that waitlisted you because you don't fit in well and can't find a Phd advisor, again, something to consider, but that's for you to decide AFTER they let you in.

Related to admission, I made a post in the university admissions: graduate forum about rejecting a school after you accept, if anyone wants to mosey on over and give me some input I would be greatly appreciative.
