waitlist wharton and dartmouth

my absolute dream school for the past 3 years was wharton so im partly like holy shit wharton didn't reject me international asking for aid im the GOAT but then im like baby just take me🥺🥺 someone once told me you should consider taking a gap year if u got waitlisted at your top choice school, thoughts? is getting off wharton or dartmouth waitlist a realistic possibility? how can I maximise possibly getting off?
