Ok, it's Friday after work, time for some math! So, according to BW Johnson had 2106 Apps, a selectivity of 28%, and a Yield of 50% In order to make the numbers slightly closer I’ll assume selectivity is 27.5% and yield is 49.5% Lets assume that all admits from the WL matriculate. Apps - 2,160 Class Size - 286 WL Accepted - 40 Accepted W/O WL and Matriculated- 246 Total Accepted - 579 Total Accepted W/O WL - 539 So... If you apply to Johnson, chances shake out to this (rounded) Admitted in round applied - 25% Waitlisted - 22% Dinged right away - 52% % of WL accepted - 8.5% % of WL withdrawn or Dinged - 91.5% Sorry, I didnt really show my work...

Assumption revision#1 : Let's apply the yield factor of 50% to admits from WL who matriculate. (It might actually be lower considering the delay in WL movement.) % of WL accepted in that case would double to 17%. Statistically, more hope.

For R2 WL - when is a good time to send in the update? Did anybody put in yet ?

I only let them know I want to remain on the wait list. I am working on getting a new recommandation in, but it will take a while.

Any guidelines for Johnson wait-list updates specifically? I don't think I saw a word limit or page limit. Is a standard one-pager 1.5 spaced deemed the thumb rule for max content? Also for an additional reco, does one send it in as a pdf-ed attachment? Or does one request the recommender to mail it to the application region manager directly? Thanks! D3

Did you interview on campus or via Skype?

On Skype, no need to visit campus for Johnson interview. I mean you can if you want to but its not really expected.

The wait continues. Sounds like they wont be making WL decisions till after round 3. Email from application manager: "Good afternoon, Thank you for your updates and correspondences. I have been updating them as I get them, unfortunately we are still in the process of getting our round 3 done and have been unable to respond back in a timely manner. I assure you that I have been receiving them and have been in contact with the committee so they are aware of any updates you have sent. Thank you for your patience and understanding with the waitlist process."
