I'm in at Anderson! It's awfully nice that they post the results so early in the morning, rather than having to wait til mid-day or late in the work day! My stats: 710/3.7 gpa Ivy League/5 yrs of WE (management consulting and start-up experience). Good luck to the waitlisters!!

Waitlisters: what are you going to do in the meantime? Do you have other acceptances that you have ranked higher? I am mildly considering the GMAT again since that is really the only thing I can control at this point.

5 dings here and probably another one from Marshall tomorrow (no interview)... so I'm completely invested in converting this into an admit. The biggest weakness on my app from the start has been my quant - 76%ile on my quant GMAT, and no math classes in undergrad. I've scheduled a GMAT already with a goal to get my math in the 90s. I don't have time to finish a Calculus class before this round, but I'm going to start one and let them know about it. Not sure what else I can do.

I am waitlisted as well. I don't know what I am going to do. I'm getting married in May, so its hard for me to invest time into retaking the GMAT or a course.

When people are accepted when do they have to notify the school of intent to register?

Swank - good luck. I'm a long-time lurker and have seen many a post from you, and also from SF, so go kill the GMAT and do the damn thang.

As for the "what's everyone else thinking"....well I've been admitted to Georgetown and Vanderbilt, dinged from Kellogg and Duke, WL at UCLA, and awaiting Marshall. I was really high on Georgetown, but Vandy gave me a 2/3's scholarship, which is looking mighty fine.

My predicament: I know i want to go into marketing after school on the industry side - non CPG, but a big company in an industry I like (boating, sports, booze). I currently work in consulting, but for a sales/markleting strategy firm, and want to give the traditional industry side a shot. That being said, I know I'll only make ~90k out of school wherever I go. Seriously, the placement in marketing/brand mgmt/prod mgmt is 90k +/- 5k at every school I considered. So, looks like I'm goin to take the option with the least debt. I don't want to be a CEO of a F2000 or go to M/B/B, so the brand name of the school is slighthly less relevant to my goals. Does my logic seemed flawed?

Congrats to the WL'ers - that's no small feat, I assure you! You've done better than most who apply to Anderson.

I got dinged last year, which was a total bummer. But this past year, I worked my tail off - better GMAT score (650 to 700) took 2 classes via extension and got A's (UC Berkeley - Stats & Calc), got promoted, and focused my career goal to be VERY specific (videogame business strategy, particularly as it relates to advertising... don't think there's anybody else who wants to do that). All that put together and I got in this year. There is NO shame in reapplying, and Anderson will still be there next year!
