Add my name to the list. Best of luck all.

Bump to 1st page for new Wl'ers

Sorry to hear but welcome to this thread. Seems like Stern wailisted quite a lot of candidates both last year and this year. Good luck to all of us.

R2 applicant waitlisted here. Best of luck!

I know Haas encourages the applicant waitlisted without interview to self-initiate an interview, however, I don't think Stern does this. Based on reviewing of last year's WL posts, the earliest movement in the waitlist pool was around May. So hang in there and there's still chance!

Yes I would re-take if I were you. 650 is definitely at the low end of gmat scores. Good luck!

Add me to the list... R2 with interview, international

Good luck to everyone, specially those without a backup school.

Hey everyone. Just following up with an update. After being waitlisted on 2/24 without an interview, I recieved an invitation to interview yesterday, 4/11.

Hey djslobo,

I wrote a letter to the adcoms about three weeks after I was placed on the waitlist, and followed that up with an additional letter of recommendation two weeks later. Below is a post I had made on another forum that goes more in depth about what I did and what my thought process was. I hope this is helpful and best of luck to everyone still waiting!

Thank you gtmba. I am not sure if I did anything special, but really just made sure that whatever contact I made with the school was thoughtful and reflected the weaknesses in my application.

After I was placed on the waitlist, I reviewed my application and found that the two things I did not put enough focus on were student life and how I could impact an organization. For the former, I took a day off from work and took a trip down to campus (I live in Boston), where I was able to catch up with a former coworker who also had gotten into NYU off the waitlsit and get a better feel for campus life. I then wrote a letter to the adcoms about that experience as well as a recent info session I was able to attend with a Stern alum.

To address the latter, I had the volunteer coordinator of the group I volunteer with write a letter to the adcoms on my behalf, citing the contributions I had made to the organization and the kids we work with. I spaced both of these contacts about three weeks apart (my letter was submitted mid-march and the coordinator's letter this past Friday).

I hope that this is helpful for you and for anyone else who is on the waitlist. I wish you all the best of luck. I am excited to have the opportunity to go interview and I hope I can make the most of the opportunity.

Any idea when will the waitlist start having some movement....
