waitlisted
When colleges think you're sorta kinda qualified for their school but they just don't know what the fuck to do with ya, they put you on the dreaded waitlist. Sort of like Purgatory, only shittier.
Example:
My friend Angelica is a really bright, hard working, extracurricular activity-taking, lovable minority with great recommendations and a killer essay, but she still got waitlisted??? WTF man?
