Does everyone receive a waitlist manager? Is it bad news if I didn't receive one?

Hi, I got waitlisted for CBS J-Term MBA intake of 2024. There isn’t much information available online for waitlisted applicants. Could anyone clarify the conversion rate for CBS’s waitlist and the possible timeline for receiving any updates? What can I do now to improve my chances?

Hello, if we got waitlisted from CBS & got accepted from another M7 school but CBS is our top choice can we reach out to adcom for expedited decision by sharing our other acceptance and the deposit date? Would you recommend this or would it have a negative impact on the application in any way?

Hey @derall55 , yes... we can definitely do that. The school will have the right to release the decision or not. But it is usually a good idea!

I was waitlisted R1 after interview and received a call from adcom this week asking if I had any deadlines to notify them about and if I was still interested - basically a yield call from what I can tell. Did anyone else experience this? Is this a good sign?

How did they approach you? I was also waitlisted R1 post interview and an admissions person e-mailed me asking if we could have phone call to discuss some questions. Mine is scheduled for next week.
