only anecdotal but a friend made it off the waitlist and was offered an interview. He retook his GMAT and got 20 points higher, and showed a lot of outreach by attending events and speaking to adcom, alums and students. He was not able to convert the interview, but the fact that he went from EA waitlist without interview to R1 interview invite is heartening in itself. Good luck to you!
@dheerajkaushik90 Thanks a lot buddy. I’ve heard these mails almost never materialize into an interview invite later but let’s see.
Anyone here who has more idea about this? Is it worthwhile reaching out to the adcom with some feedback or next steps per se?
Lol typing on the phone messed up the formatting but hope it’s useful to OP.
