Thank you for the response guys.

I actually tried calling the school to get some info(or tracking ID) and they have been closed for three days straight.
There was some sort of storm in Boston. My calls has been going to voicemail(No, I did not leave a voice-message)

One thing that I really don't understand is why on earth didn't I receive any portal update.
The portal looks to be in a freeze mode. No news. No updates.

What do you plan on doing next ?

I actually live in the area too, so yeah, I know about the storm. I'm going to see if I get it today, otherwise I'm going to call on Monday.

Great. I will call them too. Let me know how it goes.
Did your portal get updated ?

No, we're in the same boat.

NEWS FLASH -> Boston University rises in the latest US news MBA ranking from #44 to #42. While many other schools in the Top 30-50 bracket suffered a dip, BU did great!

Congratulations to all the admits!

Any waitlisted candidates here.
I was waitlisted and there is no updates yet, I have been asked to wait till July. Need to deposit in other schools.

What do you guys feel, is there a chance for me?

Definitely place the deposit for the other school if you want to go for MBA this year.

Look at the yield of BU to have a sensing of waitlist chance. I would say BU waitlist convert should not be that tough.... But definitely dont bank on it esp if you have not done anything to boost your profile (ie. new GMAT score, new promotion etc)

The yield of schools in the Top 20-50 bracket is not that high.
Speaking of BU(2016 data) ->

# of apps = 1067

# of admits = 381

# of enrolment = 147

Acceptance rate = 35%

Yield = 38%

So all hells to the yeah, you have a pretty good chance.
A dear friend of mine just gave up 70k aid at Questrom. So some of you might get a great aid too.

HANG IN THERE !

P.S -> Off-course you should pay the deposit to other school!

You can find other waitlisted candidates here

Have you to reached out to the adcoms asking for a feedback and telling them that your still interested? If not, I would suggest doing so.
