Waitlisted. Extremely Disappointed. Tepper is my dream school.
A manageable GMAT (740), good tech and startup profile, goals well aligned with Tepper employment stats and my background, interview went well (I thought). Not sure what went wrong.
On the bright side, Waitlist is better than a rejection so all is not lost! Somewhere on GMATClub a person did the research and posted WL conversion rates for the top schools. You could also look up the WL conversion using the
decision tracker filter. With the 740 GMAT and tech profile as you mentioned, you are likely to be at the front of the line for the WL so I wouldn't lose hope. B-school competition for Indian candidates is particularly fierce.
Thank you for those words.
True. While it is possible that there can be an admit, for me it is as good as ding because it is highly improbable that one gets scholarship/fellowship for an admit from wait list.
Anyway, I agree that it is just part and parcel of our journey and I'm happy that I have a couple admits.
Congratulations to you and all the Tepper Admits.
