Good job with the update! I will put it on the front page.

Oh just my long sigh after she confirmed my application's status.

For my friends on the waitlist, this was posted this morning in the "Ask The Johnson School Admissions Office" thread on businessweek.

The admissions committee is reviewing all waitlisted applications now, including those in R2. Please send your additional information as soon as you can.

You may request feedback on your waitlisted application. Please send your request to mba@cornell.edu and include a summary of what you think the weak points are in your application. If your request is granted, we will contact you to schedule an appointment. We will begin giving feedback to waitlisted applicants in late Spring.

Best Regards,
the Admissions Team

The Johnson School at Cornell University

So for those planning to send in updated materials, get 'er done!

I spoke with my app manager this morning and she mentioned that no waitlist decisions are going to be released today. Maybe tomorrow?

I sure hope so. Thanks for letting us know, so at least I can relax a bit today.

Hopefully by the end of the week, us waitlisters will be Johnson admits.

amen to that!

*by the way, I noticed on the list on page 1 that I put the applicant "prospect" twice in the AMBA section. I'm not sure which one is right...

I called admissions office this morning... why is everyone in that office always in such a rush and sound like they need to defuse a bomb right after they hang up with me?!!

It was super short with no useful information. Just had to vent.

wht was the useless info they gave u!

atleast u got them on the line.. I am tired of calling up multiple times and being directed to the voicemail.

This waiting game sure sucks big time. I hate being a bencher

He just said I should follow the instructions provided in the waitlist email - everything else comes down the road. There is no feedback / input I can get at this point.

Do we know when they will make majority of their decisions about the waitlist?

You really need to make sure that you do not annoy them.....contacting them in excess could hurt you!

Thanks Raabend. I am trying really hard not to stalk them everyday. This was my second call since December - guessing thats not too bad. I have just gotten antsy in the last couple of weeks.

A current MBA / MHA Johnson student suggested that I call the adcomm and ask if they need anything else from me after my little waitlist letter - but they didnt really want to talk to me about that. I will back off now. Sigh.

I know, its definately tough to sit back.

Unfortunately from what I have heard/read, the majority of decisions from wait list come in June

but I remain hopeful that we will all get off the wait list by friday

ok, the first "prospect" is the right one.
