In most cases I think saying you were waitlisted at other programs would negatively impact your interview. Even afterwards I told my brother that I did so and he called me an idiot lol. However I am a really honest guy, so I took the risk and said that I was waitlisted at both Emory and NSU Ft. L. In response, they ended up asking: How do you feel about getting waitlisted at those programs? What do you wish you said at those interviews that you want to say now?
And in the end, my honesty and desire came accross with my answers, and I believe it made a very positive impact on the interviewers opinions of me.
So if you're in the same situation, I don't have a suggestion on what to do, because I think it could either turn out really bad or really good.
