I got waitlisted for CBS J-term since early Oct.
I'm an international applicant, does anyone know the chance of getting admitted from the waitlist? or when does adcom normally notify J-term waitlisters about the result? (the email said it could be anytime, but I just wanna know when is the earliest I may know the final decision?)
CBS is my top choice, and now I just really want to stop refreshing my email every 10 mins.

Thank you:):)

Unlikely you will be admitted as it is probably too late to get started on your visa processing ! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but good luck with your other apps
