Nice one, congrats! Did you submit anything other than waitlist video?

gunster
FYI guys wanted to give y'all a heads up.

I just got a phone call this week informing me that I was accepted off the waitlist so it looks like they're calling people before the R2 deadline. My online portal was updated as well.


Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum


I sent in an updated resume (for something very minor) and also chatted with some Booth alumni & current students. I asked 1-2 of them to write a shape the class for me.

I also sent in an email to the adcom about 2 weeks after the waitlist decision just stating my continued interest (after some debate & discussion with people here on the same thread).

That's all I did - best of luck to the rest of you all!

Does anyone have specific experience with a R2 waitlist versus R1? In my mind, its a significantly different position than R1 (number of seats much more limited) so I am curious how that might impact the things

You're not alone. I wish you the best if you're still waiting. Think we should know something this week. Have you heard anything?

Last week I received an email about whether or not I wanted to remain on the waitlist and if there was a date this summer I needed to know a decision by. I haven’t heard anything else but I am hoping to hear soon. Any reason you think we should hear something this week?

Has anyone been wait-listed for Evening or Weekend part time MBA program?

I was just placed on wait list for the weekend part time MBA program and on the letter it states "post application deadlines" they will look at wait list applications, however, the application deadline was 05/10 for Autumn 2019. Decisions they said are typically 4-6 weeks after submission. I guess one more week? would put me at 6 weeks.

I reached out to adcom and did not get a response. will try again.

After being at Booth for a bit now, do you have any idea how many students were admitted off the waitlist? It seems like Booth puts a lot of students on the WL, so I’m curious what the percentage is and if you have a good amount of classmates that got admitted off the waitlist?
