Got a decision via e-mail/portal that I've been waitlisted.
It looks like people who have lower GMAT and/or GPA than me got accepted so I don't think that was an issue for me.
I think my problem was weak extracurriculars, career track and my interview with AdCom that didn't go as well as I would've liked.

The way I see it is, hypothetically they accepted 300 applicants expecting a good percentage e.g. 40% will choose another school, and they will start tapping into the waitlist if more than 40% have refused their acceptance. Is this how the waitlist works?
In that case how good are my chances of getting accepted later on? How can I improve my chances in the next month or so until the final decision date, May 15th?

Hi there!

Indian here.

Can anyone confirm if the TOEFL is waived off for applicants who have obtained a four-year or advanced degree from a university where the only primary medium of instruction was English?

Many thanks!
