First off, apologies for the long post.
I was waitlisted yesterday and I'm curious about the proceedings. Given that I have no other admits at this point and Stern was one of my top 2 choices, this is something I plan to pursue rather aggressively. I have a few questions though. I'm hoping 3underscore, navy01 (if she's around, since she was admitted off the w/l last year), or anyone else that has an opinion can provide some insight.
1) How does the waitlist work at Stern vs. other schools? At other schools with invitation-only interviews, you're usually waitlisted after interviewing. At Stern, I was waitlisted pre-interview. So technically, am I waitlisted for an interview or waitlisted for admission? I presume the former, but hoping for the latter.
2) Does anyone know Stern's timeline for the waitlist? I know navy01 was admitted off the waitlist pretty late in the game last year, but do they wait until after all rounds? Or is there a chance for admission witht the R2 pool?
3) I've read through some of the waitlist best practices, and I'm thinking of having another recommendation sent. I haven't read my recommendations. At this point, is it fair for me to approach my recommenders and ask to see what they have written? I'm worried that there was overlap between the two people I had write for me.
4) Any other suggestions (ie. timeline, things to submit, types of booze to drink to pass the time)?
Thanks everyone...and hopefully everyone else gets admitted, so they don't have to worry about this. Although, I'm sure this information can be helpful to those who are also waitlisted at Stern.
