Calling Fall 2010 Chicago Booth Applicants

ok, waitlisted again...
I love Chicago, but this wait thing is frustrating!

I got this email today, with the subject line "Chicago Booth Waitlist Update"...

Thank you for your continued interest in Chicago Booth. As you are aware, our decisions for the third round were released today and at this time your status of waitlist has not changed. The third round, much like the first and second, was extremely competitive and although you were not admitted I want to assure you of our sincere interest in your candidacy.
At this time, we would still like to keep you on our waitlist for consideration in during the summer months. During the summer months, the Committee will continue to review waitlist candidates for admission as spaces become available in the class of 2012. We will release decisions every two weeks starting Wednesday, May 26th and will continue this process until our incoming class if full. While we hope to enroll as many waitlist candidates as we can, the possibility does exist that some students will continue to be on the waitlist through the summer.
You are more than welcome to visit Chicago Booth at any time, though this is not necessary and will not directly impact your admission decision. In the meantime, we ask that you stay in touch should you choose to make other plans and no longer wish to be considered for a spot in the Class of 2012.
As we continue with the Admissions process for Fall 2010, please contact our office directly via e-mail regarding any questions you may have (admissions@chicagobooth.edu). We appreciate your patience during this process and wish you the best.
Sincerely,
Rosemaria Martinelli
Associate Dean, Student Recruitment and Admissions

ok. so i just withdrew my application from chicago booth for the second time. hmmm.

anyway. good luck to those still waiting.

Must be a hard-knock life eh Quantjock

is anybody withdrawing from the summer waitlist?

Ditto here. Also, where is the Google group located?

Hey Deadlee, whats your B-school situation now? Chicago is my only hope now


Quantjock, I dont think I ever officially congradulated you on your fantastic acceptance into Stanford. I was on campus a few weeks ago, it is a amazing place!

thanks rob. it is pretty nice. im stoked.

my bad deadlee! i was talking to someone in PM and they suggested i withdraw again. was just a little bewildered and going to ignore the email, but i made my post in case there are others like me paying attention who need to do so again.

Just giving you a hard time, QJ... Congratulations again on Stanford!

Rob, I'm holding out for Booth just as much as you are. I did get into UCLA, but still got my fingers crossed for Chicago!

FYI

This is from our career service:

"* For second years, 75% have offers; 67% have accepted offers. This is a scridge ahead of last year, and from what we’ve heard, on par with our peer schools.
* For first years, 84% have offers; 78% have accepted offers. This is significantly ahead of where we were last year at this time."

I think that if you rock at a school like Booth and do a great job and meet a lot of people, you can drive past the loans reasonably. Unfortunately, not everyone becomes Steven Cohen.

for roll call purposes, denied from R2 waitlist

Waitlisted round 3...

This fell to page 2 and it struck me as sad, so I'm bumping it ....

LOL

How are the WL candidates holding up here?

i should have told my boss back in march whether i'm staying or leaving... i keep everyone here waiting, and this wednesday if i don't get a yes or no answer, i'm gonna have to withdraw from the w/list...

Hanging in there!

Good luck guys! I had told myself that this time around I will not spend time on GC and BW and won't be anxious about receiving any calls on the 25th. I had even decided on another school and am close to signing a lease and moving to New York. But Booth has been a dream that I now want Adcom to just shatter once and for all! In fact, the WL process has been so annoying that I almost feel like turning down the offer if I get in.
