Still not 100% clear, but it appears that Max did something (the gimmick) to trick other people (including Mark/Mr. Jefferson) into liking/helping/admiring Max, even though the speaker believes Max does not deserve their help/admiration. Whatever Max did (the gimmick) was lame/cheap/weak and Mr. Jefferson should not have believed it.
Selfie ho means that Max takes and shares a lot of selfies (excessively, the speaker believes).
Hipster is a usually young person who is trendy, stylish, or progressive in an unconventional way; someone who is hip/cool.
Waif is a lost/stray person, especially a child, who has no home or friends.
So I’m guessing that the gimmick is that Max is pretending to be cool and interesting but also vulnerable and needing help/friends.

She said "What a lame gimmick. Even Mark... Mr. Jefferson falls for your hipster waif bullshit" Doesn't that make your answer incorrect or not? BTW what does waif mean in the sentence?

"What a lame gimmick..." blah blah blah was the second thing that she had said, before that she said "Oh look, it's Max Caufield. The selfie ho of BlackWell"

That was so clear. But what does "waif hipster bullshit" mean?
I know the meaning of them, but they aren't make sense together.

Bullshit means making a false statement. So he is falsely acting like both a hipster and a waif simultaneously.

Hipster waif bullshit = pretending to be a cool and interesting person who is also vulnerable and needs help.
