waitlisted

Urghh... anybody with any commments on how are the chances of conversion?
Conversion rates depend greatly on the applicant levels in the next rounds. Keep in touch with the adcom, make sure they know that you really want in.
just saw last years waitlist thread....with zero positive result!!

do you know anybody from your class who got through after being waitlisted?
I can't name anyone off the top of my head, but I think there were a handful. The admissions committee will reanalyze the waitlisted students during future admissions rounds, and so the waitlisted EA admits tend to blend together with the admits from R2 and R3.
If there is something on your profile that is especially weak, like little quant background or poor GMAT scores, you can try to address these ASAP and tell the admissions committee that you are retaking the GMAT or taking a class in accounting at a local college or something to shore up your weaknesses. There are no guarantees with the waitlist, but that's the best thing you can do.
