I don’t think they will waitlist someone if no further application updates matter. It is hard to interpret it but it seems like it is the generic answer that WL managers give out these days.

So... I just got done with my waitlist appointment and my WL manager said I can submit updates and an additional letter of recommendation. But said there’s no specific area which needed improvement. How should I interpret it?
1. My application is being seriously considered and I don’t need much help
2. My application is near the bottom of preferences and nothing will help
Need honest opinion
They may just be waiting to see what the results of Early Action/Round 1 decisions to fully accept you. May just be a small ding that they weren’t ready to take you on in the EA phase but after seeing results from EA and they have a larger profile from R1, you could come off

Same case for me :/

do EA waitlisted applicants receive some update during the decision dates of subsequent rounds? We are approaching 7th Dec, i.e. R1 decision date, so can we expect something?

Nope. You won’t receive anything update wise in terms of information. Your only update will come from adcom directly for either something from you or notifying of admission/denial. Other than that, nothing will be sent

I did submit a few profile updates. Approximately when can I expect the notification of admission/denial?

It will be random. Like the person above mentioned, you will be considered in every round while you are waitlisted. So you may come off during that time. Otherwise, it may just happen. If they have a spot for you, they will notify you. Other than that, there is no expectation of when you will receive any notification. I went 7 months on the waitlist with no updates from adcom even after submitting updates

Stay engaged, make meaningful updates, but realize you are just waiting for a spot to open. Continue with the rest of your MBA apps and such. If the time comes, it comes
