Hi SpagetBakemono ! The no. of waitlisted candidates may vary yearly depending on typical trends. The conversion chances may depend on multiple factors including class yield and the strength of the profile. To improve your chances, write a crisp letter to the adcom showing your continued interest, highlight new achievements, and strengthen your fit with Booth. Check with Booth’s adcom to get clear information about the waitlist process for the best outcome.

We've created a special blog for the "Waitlisted Strategies: How to Navigate the Process". It will help you with the necessary tips and insights to increase your chances of success. Good luck!

It’s actually a good sign. But you have to be proactive about your engagement.

Also, strategy will always be personalized but generally Booth has already sent you the steps
