Weirdly Specific Resume/Waitlist Problem

I'm an international student (rising junior) who's currently transferring from a lower semi-target to USC Marshall. However, I have a few other schools that have put me on their waitlist and I would prefer to go to them. I'll be applying to one or two internships before I hear back from the waitlists. So, should I put USC, or not put any of them and just my previous school on my resume?

Well, what are the other schools? 

Obviously not good to be malicious, and end up going to the university of montana school of oil rigging, but comparables why not. 

Really nobody cares 'i ended up getting off waitlist' is easily justifiable.
