Well, just officially got the ding :(

Funny thing was I was just checking the application status page when I got an email that I had an update. Re-checked and after a few refreshes the page updated before my eyes. Scanned across the first few words and saw "regret"... which told me right away.

Well good luck to anyone still on the list!

I've been checking my application status all day today too (I didn't receive an email, just felt a weird gut instinct) - I haven't seen anything yet though. What round were you waitlisted in?

I was waitlisted R1. It was pretty quiet on my end and never received any feedback.

cguarnieri - Same here, what round were you WLed?

The waiting is killing me, at this point if I'm getting dinged that would be ok, I just want to know.

dtse86 - Best of luck at Johnson, I have some coworkers that went there and they all have great things to say about it.

JD / MBA applicant here.

Just got a call from the admissions office. Not sure what to make of it. Lady said they were contacting me to know if there were any updates to my application and how I was doing regarding the previous updates I mentioned.

She also said the waitlist is reviewed on a rolling basis and that they can't tell when a final decision will be made.

She did ask me about other school deadlines and work deadlines.

hope this helps.

That's a bummer - but hey, at least you've got some closure on it now. The lack of any communication is pretty excruciating.

Yea the closure is nice. Being in waitlist purgatory was stressing me out! :madd I only wish I had a little more communication from the admissions team. :|

I kinda expected it was coming for a while now. I was actually just happy that I didn't get dinged outright! :-D

Sounds promising. All the people that were previously admitted received a similar call about a week before they got in.

Thanks DYDT !

Yea, I'm not upset at all about ending up at Johnson. It's a great school and I'm sure I'll have a shot at getting where I want to go.

But was really looking forward to spending some time in Evanston. Oh Well :dunnow

I think it sounds very good as well. What round were you waitlisted?

I have a feeling for all of you still on the WL with no notice, that you'll be asked to join the summer waitlist.

:gl ! At least you're still in it!

Im thinking they mainly just dealt with R1 Waitlisters. Hopefully us R2 WL will hear in the next couple of days. My main concern is for us the MMM people who's program starts in less than a month now and haven't heard anything yet. Good luck to all!

R1 WL & international applicant - I've heard nothing.

A previous post mentioned that the AdCom said that international applicants would hear at the end of May so who knows?!

The only person I heard got off the WL since mid-April was a MMM applicant (on this board). That said, I'm pretty sure they have probably called some people during that time period with good news, unfortunately just none of us.
