Great idea to start that thread... Frustration is actually an understatement...
I have talked to couple of alumun who were encouraging me to send letters but then I told them we were told to sit tight. Did Wharton use to accept additional information in the past? May be they changed that recently...
Is anyone thiking about withdrawing? I keep learning more about and liking Booth. I am also looking at where I am going to live in Chicago. In short, it would be rought to do a turn around for Wharton. I guess I just don't like the uncertainty.
Bostonsparky, you wanted agony, here you are
Indeed, Booth is a fantastic school, and uncertainty is no fun. I think you should definitely withdraw, you know, since a turn around would be so rough.

Honestly as much as it's not to my benefit, I feel one should only withdraw themselves from a school if he/she is 100% going somewhere else and is paying the deposit. You've stuck your neck out by paying the fee and taking the time to fill out a long application, you should maximize the flexibility you may now possess by holding admits to several top schools. You may never have such control over your future down the line. Furthermore, ultimately 800+ new students WILL be at Wharton next year, I don't necessarily buy the fact that hanging out on the waitlist is costing someone else an admit.
