I would continue to work on improving the test score and find additional ways to bolster the GPA; unless you are a URM, I am shocked Wharton even had these stats on the waitlist. (2)

Agreed, the GPA cannot be improved at this point, however, I was simply stating there are alternative ways to show initiative and improve admission's confidence that the candidate can handle the rigorous coursework...
