Just got waitlisted. I was interviewed in January 25th and thought it went well. I'm an international applicant, my application manager is Jenna Abbott.
here's a part of the letter i got:
"Thank you for submitting an application to the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University. We recently completed a comprehensive review of your application and added you to our waiting list. We recognize your potential and encourage you to take an active role in strengthening your candidacy. "
What do you think are my odds because i was already interviewed??

The unfortunate reality of the wait list is that you're at the mercy of yield. As deposit deadlines pass, if a less than anticipated number of admits enroll, then they'll go to the wait list.
The second phase of the wait list is "The Summer Melt" this is when people bail on the schools they put deposits on for whatever reason: personal, huge promotion at work that makes B-school not so attractive, couldn't decide by original deadline so he/she put down multiple deposits finally chooses one, accepted off of another school's WL...all of these leave gaps in a school's class that will be filled by candidates still active on the WL.
So in short, your "odds" can't really be calculated - too many variables.

Do you happen to be from India?
There is a majority of Indians in the WL pool. I expect some significant movement on WL around R3. Since I don't see many admits from India, the fate of WLs will not depend on yield of Indian students but rather on quality of Indian pool in R3. Ofcos all this is entirely my personal opinion.
