Note:

This was a very straightforward process for me and the school really just wanted to understand why I was applying in round three (I have a fellowship that UVA is in that has a final deadline of round two, so they knew I had applied to other schools earlier). It really felt like the school only waitlist you if they want to convert you, but they were incredibly generous with scholarship $$$
