Asking another recommender to send a letter and updating them on my new job. This is going to be a long wait...

I agree! We would have to dig the last year's threads to see how soon from the next round deadlines can one expect movement on the waitlist. As of now, the waitlist does not seem too big though.

I cannot help but wonder if they had to waitlist more people than they would have, had they not been delayed in the process. Could this be a way to meet the decision deadline and still hold off on more rigorous app checks/interviews?

And compare with R2 applicants having similar background. Anyway, looks like we still have a chance and should make the most out of it. Apart from another recommendation, promotion & taking new courses , I wonder what would qualify as a 'significant' update?

In the document that we are supposed to send to our admission manager, there is a line which says: _______Yes, I would like to remain on the waiting list. Are we supposed to put a tick mark over the ____ part?

That's what I did. I just placed an "X" there and filled out the pertinent underlying information. I would also concur with the sentiment that they may have waitlisted a few more than they'd wished due to the technical issues. I assume we'll see rolling invites, since that's what they said. So early January, when they are back from break, I expect some "WL" R1 candidates to be hopping in with the R2 candidates.
