SD Waitlist Advice

just received SD feedback email from alumni. apparently all the interviewers (7ppl) all really liked me and think i’d be a good fit. Unfortunately, I got grilled on technicals and was receiving questions I never expected and said i didn’t do well on that and it carries a lot of weight. She said we don’t have an answer yet if I got it or not and they should know in the next week or two if they have a spot for me or not. Obviously this is a waitlist email and I was wondering what I can do to ensure to increase my chances of getting this offer?

Just send an email reaffirming your interest and thank them, that's really all you can do
