I was a waitlisted applicant last year and got an waitlist admit for Class 2023 - happy if I can help

Sure, could you briefly tell us how you went about converting your waitlist to an admit? And did you have to apply again like other candidates (interview + reccos. + Application) or was it confirmed for you last year that you will definitely/ automatically be offered a place in MBA2023 class? Thank you!!

Hi lawyer,
I was on the waitlist for this year's intake but asked them to be considered for nex years 2021 intake due to personal reasons and the Corona thing... They made an exception but it worked.

In terms of converting, I sent them an update in the beginning of January with a promotion, added responsibilities on projects and my plan for the year. I also had a short interview with the waitlist coordinator (which was probably helpful because I bombed my admissions interview).

Around May I provided an additional letter of recommendation from a client.

Since I wanted to expand my option field, I also retook the GMAT and provided them with an updated score (700->750) right before their waitlist decision in September. In the mail I also told them that I changed my post mba career goal from a move to VC to staying with my MBB.

Hope this helps - might be quite specific to my application but maybe you can use aspects of it

Hey Guys,

I've been waitlisted post-interview in R1 for the MIM program. I believe, LBS has only recently introduced the waitlist assessment via the Kira platform. The majority of motivational and career-related questions were already asked in the interview/essays. How will Kira be different? Can someone please guide me as to how to prepare for it and the type of questions that I can expect(specifically related to the waitlist)?
