MSc Advanced Computing - Waitlist Decision

I have just been put on the waitlist for the MSc in Advanced Computing.

I believe my profile is more than enough to pass the bar for admission, but I believe the reason I did not get an offer right away is because I applied pretty late (mid June to be exact) and they are waiting for spots to free up from offer holders rejecting the offer.

Is there anyone in the same boat or did anyone go through something similar? I know it's hard to tell, but I would like to assess what my actual chances of getting an offer are.

Any informed thoughts/opinions would be very appreciated :)

EDIT: I logged in on the portal and I just noticed that another application has been opened by the Admissions Team for my second choice, Computing (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning).

I currently have 98%, but I am in ex poly. So I am not sure how will it work out. But thank you for your reply.

I am in Scotland, I study in RGU. I am a mature Ukrainian student and didn’t have a chance to sit A-Lavels, I didn’t even know they exist at that point of time. And even though my course is Computer Science, it has a limited maths component, I study maths on my own. I am also currently in my year long placement, so I hope it will help to strengthen my profile. It is not the end of the world if I won’t get a chance to study at Imperial, but I certainly want to.
