Update from early post: For everyone waiting on Booth, here’s what you should expect the next few weeks: -February 23: Last day of interviews for Round 2 for off campus -March 2: Last day of interviews for Round 2 for on campus -March 5: Round 1 waitlisted applicants will begin to get news of admit, deny, or continue waitlist (could start as early as March 3). Keep in mind this is rolling until March 18. -March 18: All admitted Round 2 applicants will get a call from Booth notifying them. Everyone that doesn’t receive a call will get a decision on the portal the next day of either deny or waitlist. -March 19: Round 2 decision release. No calls, likely no emails, just portal updates. Best of luck to everyone anxiously waiting! Posted from my mobile device

Hii, my GMAT is 740 and was waitlisted in R1. Do you think re-taking GMAT is a good idea?

No. Your GMAT score wasn’t what got you waitlisted. Look at the other aspects of your application.

Did anyone from R1 WL hear back?

Nothing yet. Who knows now when Booth will notify. Posted from my mobile device

A new Booth Interview Debrief has just been posted: https://gmatclub.com/forum/booth-189/interview_debrief.html#debrief-1276

We will all find out Wednesday! Booth calls all accepted applicants. For WL applicants from round 1, we’ll either get a call on Wednesday or a portal update on Thursday with a ding or to remain on the WL. For round 2 applicants, you’ll either get a call on Wednesday or a portal update on Thursday with a ding or WL offer. In either case, if you don’t get Wednesday you’ve got a ding or WL on Thursday.

All calls going out 100%? Or can it be just a portal update?

Historically all accepted applicants get a call a day before the portal updates. So, in the past if you didn’t get a call you were either WL or denied the next day. I suppose anything can happen this year with the virus, but be on the lookout for a call on Wednesday! Posted from my mobile device
