Anyone have any insight about Stern's waitlist process and/or if there's ever any movement off it?
The WL definitely sucks (I'm on Yale's so I can relate) but there is hope. From last year's R1 roll call:
Crashing - Applying | Waitlisted (w/out Int) 1/06 | Interview 2/25 | Admitted 4/2
papito - Applying | Waitlisted (w/out Int) | Interview 3/4
Pook - Applying | Waitlisted (w/out Int) 1/08 | Admitted 6/01
The best story, though, was PRtoMBA. Check out his post history
here. In short, he was WL'd at Wharton then dinged, then WL'd at CBS and Stern. Then on July 26th he got an acceptance from Stern. He called CBS to ask for a decision in light of his Stern acceptance, and CBS accepted him the next day.
Rare occurances, to be sure, but you just never know.
