Congrats to those with Admits! To those who got waitlisted/dinged - I totally feel for you. Don't give up, though. I've spoken to a number of reapplicants this year who are so happy that they came back for another round of punishment. I wrote a series on TheSenator's blog about my own experience, in case you want to read it:

Hi,
Waitlisted. Actually I am a very different applicant from most in the sense that I am about XX years older than the average applicant. Took my GMAT two months back, and so all I had was option to apply for last rounds of few schools. The results so far have been really humbling and makes me wonder if it would actually be possible for me to get admission anywhere, with my story.
Atleast while applying, I felt that some school would connect with my reasons for MBA at this stage. Doesn't look like that though. Not sure if I was done in by the overexperience or the third round, but really not sure if I should re-attempt. My results so far :
Dinged without Interview : 4 top 10 schools
Waitlisted with Interview : Yale
Does anyone believe I stand a chance to convert my only waitlist to an admit ? Would appreciate any advice on whatever could help me. Congrats to those already admitted.
That is really tough, but I'd say that a visit would probably be the most important thing to do at this point. It sounds like it may be very far for you, but It would clearly demonstrate that you are interested in SOM and that you are taking them very seriously. You may also want to address your age and why you see a FT MBA program as the right choice for you.
Good luck.
