Congrats on your acceptance! Simon is a wonderful program, I had the opportunity to attend one of their conferences earlier this fall. It is a small and very close program and definitely a top contender.

Any admitted students also get the scholarship weekend invivitation? I've already R.S.V.P.'d and will be out there.

Is there anyone else on this forum who is waiting for the decision? Do they also send a rejection email after interview, in case of a ding?

Hi All,

Just received an email from Simon putting me on the wait-list. Anyone aware of the next steps that one should follow to convert this into an acceptance?

Me too buddy. I was put in the WL today.

The letter says they will get back before June. Now that is really a long time from now and I don't think it makes sense to wait.

I think most of the time you could not do much. If you have something new worth noting like a higher GMAT, a new job of a (reputable?) employer. Otherwise, WL means waiting :(

Good luck with your other application as well!

I just received an email saying I'm admitted. Scholarship package will be on its way :D
