I'm on the waitlist from R2, and I received the same email. I sent a single update and had previously received a note that the update was added to my file. Here's to hoping we hear some good news in a couple weeks!

I received an email with the subject, "What Can You Do While "Waiting?" - Next Steps While on the Waitlist" this morning. Did everyone else on the waitlist receive this same message? It was a mass-message type email without a ton of new information, although they mention that the next update would come with R3 decisions on May 6th. This is my first contact with the admissions department since getting waitlisted R2. Has anyone else heard anything?
I received the email back on Feb 11th as well. I am an EA waitlister who interviewed in October. For those who didn't receive it or can't recall receiving it, it noted when to send updates by:
To ensure additional materials are evaluated with your application, please submit new information by February 22 for Round 2 and April 4 for Round 3. If your updates are in progress during these times (e.g., if you're scheduled to take the GMAT during February), we will be accepting new information until March 9 for Round 2 and May 1 for Round 3. Please make sure all additional materials are submitted by these final deadlines to ensure inclusion in your file prior to the decision release date.
I wasn't able to send an update before April 4th (which felt really rushed since Rd 2 decisions were in mid March), but I did send one on April 11th and an alumnus I worked with sent an internal alumnus recommendation on April 30th so I'm not sure if any of it will be looked over before decisions are updated.
Hope some waitlisters hear some good news this Friday!
