I know it may be a little early in the game, but has anyone else started preparing their application? This means visiting the school, talking to CBS ambassadors, drafting the essay, etc. And good luck everyone!

Anybody have figures for the number of people that decline the binding admission for January intake? I'm sure it happens but not sure if it happens so late in the season. I'm one of literally a few students that's been kept on the waitlist and would like to know what my success rate is. Either way, suppose I'll know in the next week. thanks in advance.

amitgovin, for j-term? seeking that same info myself. it seems slim but you never know. i wonder how many is a "few." seems odd to hold on to a waitlist this long. most if not 99.9% of j-term applicants have been accepted / dinged by now. i could be wrong.

yeah, I haven't been able to find any info on the number of people that declined their january intake offer. I was told that the class has been filled so our hope is that a "few" people decline their offer somehow. It's probably not a stat that the adcom likes to publicize. i'll let you know if I learn anything but I was hoping to find some former adcom official in the gmatclub community. this is a rough wait. good luck!

painstaking wait indeed. i'm wondering if they're also waiting for everyone's background checks to clear. i don't get it. orientation is jan 3. i can't imagine many backing out at this point (though i'm hoping!), so why not release waitlist? the whole thing eludes me.

have you heard any stat on the number of people that have been dinged after a background check? this is news to me. just wondering if this will increase my chances for the j-term.

Kroll background checks have not started yet. They will not be open until early January, and they will likely take a minimum of 1 week, all the way up to 4-6 weeks for most people as far as I am aware. EDIT: The above timeline is for September 2010 entry. I am not sure what the timeline is for Kroll checks for J-term folks.

Any news on Interview Invites/Dings for ED applicants this week ??

I am applying RD (1/6/2010). Please add me to the roll call.

I think your email should just confirm that you want to remain on waitlist/considered for RD. Your longer waitlist letter describing why you're awesome should wait until after January 6th when they start reviewing everything. And just to add, yes, they are quite mean about not following directions! I called the admissions office yesterday and when I asked if I should call my waitlist manager they said "wait until after Jan 6th, like the instructions said". They were a bit unpleasant but luckily I didn't give them my name =)
