I only get wait-listed. What do?

Hi there. I have applied to 10 places and so far it seems I got wait-listed in 4 (2 officially) and rejected by 2.
The thing is... I got wait-listed in a top 10 and in a top 60 program. Sorry, but... wtf?!

I'm posting here because I don't know how to handle this. Should I just wait or is there anything else I could do?

You should email the universities and tell them to accept you now. Other than that you can go take a walk in the park or play a few rounds of ping pong.

It was a honest question. Sorry if it came out wrong. It's really frightening to be in this situation, given the uncertainty, and I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience to share or maybe give me some tips.
