Don’t know if it was more competitive than R1 but I’d wager it’s been more competive than previous years.

Does email update mean WL or reject only or could it be admitted too?

I’m WL too.

WL with interview*

Ah, well. Was an interesting journey. I’m likely not accepting my WL because I have another offer and as an international applicant I don’t want to risk waiting too long.

Nicely done to all the admits!

I was waitlisted last round but was invited for an interview this round but waitlisted again does that mean my interview did not go well?

I believe this was just a competitive round/year. My interview went phenomenal still waitlisted.

Same with me. I have reached out to my interviewer asking if they have any specific suggestions that could help me. Let’s see.

mml91218, See you soon Buddy

Is there any WA group? If so please add me +091 9999417677

I think they WL ppl with high scores (770) thinking that you might get other offers and go there, but rather in case you don’t they may pull you in. They can ensure a higher % selection this way. Maybe my speculation on this trend based on a few cases above.

Yeah that’s the right way to go about it
