Got my waitlist manager today, hoping this means we will finally get some information
Good luck! Did you get anything specific from your Waitlist manager? Mine is out of the office for a few days.
Probably Fuqua is busy counting how many dropped out after the second deposit deadline yesterday. Hopefully, we still have a shot.
They want you to want them. My councilor told me that they prioritize the people who are able to commit quickly to the program if granted admission. When I crashed Fuqua Friday, I heard tell of a student who was in a moving truck on his way to Georgetown's orientation when he got the call from Fuqua a few days before classes start. That's kind of an extreme example, but they want people who can make all of the organized activities if granted admission, and also want to reduce the amount of time it takes to fill the class out.
You can imagine all waitlist candidates finding some comfort in talking on the phone about the waitlist process and possibly the re-applicant process, since that conversation will be better as a real-time exchange rather than replies over email.
