Anyone know anything about Stanford’s waitlist? Do people actually get off?
Posted from my mobile deviceI was also waitlisted. Let's keep our heads up, this means we are still in the running! Stanford doesn't release any stats about the amount of people they accept from the waitlist, but it looks like 9% based on various (unvalidated) sources online. I do know a current student that was accepted from waitlist as well, so it's definitely possible! We just have to make sure our updates in the portal are strong. I also plan to retake the GRE to get a better score.
Being on the waitlist means you are still very competitive! Don't forget that.
Overall my advice (to myself, as well) is do what you can to provide a strong update to GSB via the portal, reiterate to them that it is your #1 choice school, then hope for the best while applying to other top programs. Manage your expectations by staying realistic, but optimistic
