So a little back story here. About three weeks ago USNA sent me more orthodontist forms to fill out and have my orthodontist sign and transfer records. My orthodontist was on spring break leave and then due to some problems and misunderstandings the form was only sent this Monday, 4/11. By this time I was already wait listed. Today I received an email stating that I had been granted a waiver. Does anyone have any experience with this? Will it potential take me off the wait list?
Was wait listed last week but received an email today saying that I was approved for a waiver

Seems you were destined for the WL, can't blame it on dentist's vacay. Only admissions knows your position on the WL.

One could surmise that they wanted to take one last look at your application if the waiver came through (hence why they agreed to process a waiver in the first place)
Waiver processing doesn't necessarily conform to the whole "notify you by April 15th" thing, because waivers are often granted after that date.
If a waiver is granted (as in your case) then that's when they usually review it for the last time.
Being placed on the wait list (before the waiver was granted) seems odd to me. It could be as @Doolieplebe surmised, but that's just conjecture at this point.
No one knows what goes on in those Admissions Board meetings.
Make sure that your Plan B is ready to go.
