Melonhusky , Do you rhino ones will binding agreement done hold a chance after being WL *think

I don’t know either. Hoping to find out. Posted from my mobile device

All waitlisted candidates have a chance. Work to improve your profile any way you can and update the adcom on your progress. Posted from my mobile device

Age literally has nothing to do with acceptance... if you’ve been waitlisted, you have a chance

ibhopeful , Yes, hoping to get on the 1 on 1 session to understand feedback on application

You really think so? All I’ve been hearing is that candidates over 30 are “too old” and have to work to convince the adcom as to why they’re pursuing a full time MBA and instead of an EMBA. This gives me hope as an older applicant! Posted from my mobile device

I’m 32 and was waitlisted. My buddy last year was 32 and got into Fuqua I have multiple people at my place of work who are nearing 40 and applying and have met current students at other programs who are 35+

If you’re 40 or 20, why would any program care about age as long a you’re competitive, meet the standard, and are a fit for the program? you’re there for 2 years for an education and that’s all. there’s no reason why they wouldn’t take someone based on age. programs brag about test scores, gpa, etc. not how old their students are

Did you receive an invite for a 1 on 1 session? I haven’t received anything from the adcom other than the status update on the portal. Posted from my mobile device
