Thank you for the good words buddy. I’m unsure how to pick myself up and work on my rest of the applications, NUS was my top pick and a WL (that almost never converts) has shattered my confidence for the upcoming applications. I guess I’ll just have tp take some time off to clear my head. Would appreciate any suggestions on coping with this.

I hope so man, though I am not really sure if a WL ever converts into an admit. The way I understand WL works for a like to like replacement, that is, ONLY IF, someone with my profile type doesn’t take up their offered seat, I shall be given a chance. And I don’t know if or when would anything like that happen.
Sidenote: I may be completely wrong in my understanding of how WL works, in that case I would really appreciate to be corrected.
Hi - You are partially correct in your understanding but its not only the profile. Factors like what diversity you getting in the cohort, which country you coming from also add up. Clearance on WL continues till April end/ May 1st week. I was also initially waitlisted after round 2 (last year) but then go a convert/ admit after 2 months. Later i did defer it to 2023 admissions. So dont lose hope, it will pave out if your application is well acknowledged by NUS. Regards - Ankit
