Calling All Yale SOM 2013 'Waitlisted' Applicants

Yeah I just saw on last year's blog that someone who was Waitlisted for Round 1, was formally rejected on the Round 2 decision date. Hoping we all have a better fate than that candidate!

Just curious but has anyone on this forum taken themselves out of consideration for SOM due to acceptance at another school or for any other reasons?

Just got a "Yale SOM Wait List Review" email from admissions. Looks like the Waitlist may actually see some movement this week as AdCom starts looking at our updates and probably has a final count of Round 2 admitted students.

Anyone else get this email?

What did it say?

Seemed to be a generic email to all WL candidates just thanking us for our patience while remaining on the WL and that they would review candidates this week. Also asking that if our plans have changed and we would no longer like to be considered then we should inform them.

Got the same email. I like at the end where they say if they offer you a spot, they expect you to accept.

I got the email too. I was freaked out at first time as I thought that it is a ding letter.

Believe we will be notified with R2 candidates on 28 Mar?

My hands are getting wet with being nervous.

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I take it no good news for anyone here yet? Apparently we will all have status updates online today

Nothing yet here. Where'd you hear/read that we'll have our status updated online today?
That's a bit reassuring and a part of me would prefer a straight up Ding/Admit as opposed to having no update like Fuqua..

will the R1 waitlisted candidates receive phone calls today if they get accepted ?

No idea if we'd get calls if accepted. In addition to what @Aerian stated above about getting updates today, I confirmed with AdCom when I gave them a ring earlier this week that we will get some sort of a status update but that could be a Ding, Acceptance, or invitation to remain on the WL.

i see..i have been staring at my phone for quite sumtime now!
its past midnight in India..this is pretty nerve wrecking
all the best to everyone waiting!

Just got an email letting me know of my ding. good luck to everyone else.

Sorry to hear Ward. Laaaaaaaame!

I got an email, and did not get in.. It's been such a nice journey, Bye Bye Yale

waitlisted - would we hear back end of may?

Same here. DING. I honestly don't know what more i could have done. I thought for sure I would get in, much less remain on the waitlist.

I updated ADCOM on a promotion at work, additional international responsibilities at work etc. I met more SOM students, reached out to the ones I'd previously met and even reached out to clubs I previously mentioned I was interested in. I even attended the Yale Philanthropy Conference at the suggestion of a current Net Impact member where I had a wonderful experience and had the pleasure of meeting Professors Nalebuff, Sheldon and Kolditz, all of whom I had meaningful conversations with. I attempted to help a current SOM student with his internship interview which just happened to be at my current company (all of this was on my Update Letter). I truly don't know what more I could have done.
