It seems that the
GAME IS almost OVER for R2 applicants.
It seems that those who did not receive calls today neither was denied a week ago, will join the waitlist. Here you are ->

First, some stats: Last year Gmatclub admission rate (30%) was close to school's rate.
Last year Gmatclub applicants were 429, this year the pool is 522 or increase by almost 22%, which closely resembles the overall increase (by 30%) in Ross applications, which was reported by Soojin.
Last year the number of students admitted to R1 almost equaled those admitted in R2 (63 vs. 64). Almost the same is for this year 54 in R1 vs 49 in R2. Thus, I would assume that the game is almost over for R1 and R2.
BUT!The total number of students admitted in R1 and R2 last year equaled to 127, this year number is only 103.
Assuming that the share of applicants/admitted Gmatclub members is almost the same from year to year in overall application pool, I would
carefully assume that this year's waitlist is longer then that in prior year, i.e. for about 20-25 places for both R1 and R2 applicants.
Having a long list of waitlisted canidates would allow the school to increase its yield ratio. Would it negatively impact the quality of incomming class? I dont know. I think it mainly depends on the overall applicants pool.
