Does anyone know what % of WL applicants actually get admitted?

Also, for those of us who have already interviewed and are WL'd, can we interview again?

Sorry to hear, rfc, but all hope is not lost. Just curious, why do you say the interview went poorly?

Nothing specific, I just didn't sell myself well. My elevator pitch took way too long so I didn't get to hit all my points. When it was Q&A time at the end he did his elevator pitch and it really showed the contrast, he sold me on him and I wasn't even buying!

Don't feel bad, I gooned mine up too--that was one thing I hadn't really prepared for, for some reason, so I basically rambled a quick bio rather than distilling myself down to something quick and memorable.

In our small sample size, everyone who was interviewed was either admitted or waitlisted. The ratio is exactly 50% admit and 50% waitlist if you assume that the unreported interviewees were also waitlisted. R1 is likely to have far more additions to the WL than R2, R3, and R4, but it's the only data available to us right now.

For a little fun, let's assume that our outstanding community is representative of the entire applicant pool. To make the math easier, let's pretend that that target class size at Haas is only 100 students. Let's also examine the absolute best case scenario, which is that Haas doesn't over-admit to account for yield (unlikely).

Haas Yield: 58% (Source: BusinessWeek)
If Haas doesn't over-admit to account for yield, but rather uses the waitlist to backfill these un-occupied seats, then your odds of coming off the waitlist would be at least 42% (I'll explain).

Target class size: 100
Total interviewed: 200
Accepted applicants: 100 (50%)
Waitlisted applicants: 100 (50%)

Matriculated: 58 (based on the 58% yield)
Admitted from the WL: 42+

*Explanation for 42+ admitted from WL: Some WL applicants will deny the offer in favor of other schools, so the school would have to admit at least 42 WL applicants to reach the target class size of 100. Also, keep in mind that many of the applicants who are offered a seat on the waitlist will choose not to join or will later withdraw their position. As people remove themselves from the waitlist, your odds of admission go up.

In reality, Haas likely over-admits to some degree to get close to their projected yield (58%) and then uses the WL to dial in the last 10-20 seats. If that's the case, then your odds of coming off the waitlist aren't very good, but it's certainly a possibility.

Moderator Note: So much for optimism... BW data shows the following:
Applicants WL in 2010: 472
Acceped off the WL: 19 (4%)

I'm in the L.A. area and received an invite to Super Saturday. I submitted my app (EWMBA) hours before the R2 deadline and received the invite on Wednesday.

Thanks! The easy answer: I got $$ at Ross and none at Kellogg. But besides that, I LOVED my visit to Ann Arbor for Super Saturday. Everyone was 110% invested in the school, really friendly, and knew how to have a good time. Can't wait for the tailgates to start up next fall!

does anyone have any insights into what can go into the optional essays - since Haas doesn't give any guidelines around it, can it be anything under the sun (relevant to your candidature of course), or should it deal with the standard issues like low gpa, gap in w-ex etc.
