Hi everyone,

I'm a first-year full-time MBA at Booth and just wanted to say that I was in your shoes this time last year. I was a R2 applicant, waitlisted until the summer. Happy to answer any questions, just PM me or ask them in this thread.

Thanks for the offer! What all did you provide them while you were on the waitlist? Video? Additional recs?

Do you have any insight into people who were waitlist multiple rounds (i.e., R1, R2)...did they provide multiple videos?

Yeah, I provided an additional LOR, about 1 or 2 more very short updates (I think I did the MBAMath program and talked about accomplishments at work), and the waitlist video is a must as well.

how many of you stayed on waitlist? did anyone drop off? for those admitted somewhere else I would go with that or pursue other options as I believe getting off this waitlist is slim to none.
