If you do, find out how many students are on the waiting list and how many openings still exist. Tell the school frequently you'll come if admitted. Try to find as many advocates as possible. Get letters from teachers, counselors, parents, friends. Keep your name in front of the admissions office.
Diversity is still a buzzword in higher education.
Colleges frankly do not want too many of the same sort of students. They'll bend to admit students of certain backgrounds while too easily writing off students from others. No, they're not. They'll take alumni children and athletes even if they have far worse academic records than you do. It's best to find out.
