Ding for me too. Was WL'd last year and was strongly encouraged to reapply first round this cycle because they "view my candidacy extremely positively but are unable to offer me a seat last year due to the extremely competitive pool."
SOM just wasn't meant to be.
Did they provide you any feedback last year ?
Yes, they said "After reviewing your file, there is no particular weakness I can point out. Overall the application you presented was very strong, but other candidates simply presented a more compelling overall picture. I know it is frustrating not to have a specific point of feedback, but in your case, the decision was truly the result a highly competitive applicant pool and limited space. We highly encourage you to reapply.
The upside is you’re in a good position to refine your application for this coming year. I do hope this indicates to you how positively we view your candidacy, and that we hope to see your re-application in early on in the next cycle."
Wow, that was quite specific. I admire the individual attention that they provided. Thanks for sharing and best of luck for your future endeavors.
