Does it make sense to submit an additional waitlist video (WL'd in R2 and again in R3)? I suppose it shows continued interest, but it seems like at this point the decision has more to do with deferrals / what happens with admitted students vs. specific updates from me? Any thoughts?
There's a difference between being persistent and keeping someone informed of material changes vs being a desperate stalker.
You mention sending in "another" video. Is this something you do often?
Whatever you do, be professional about it. This is business school afterall ... not a junior high social club.
Posted from my mobile deviceThis is a pretty unhelpful post / it doesn't seem like you have any insight into the Booth WL process, so not sure why you felt it was necessary to share this. Hoping people who are more familiar with the process or those earlier on the WL for rounds 1 and round 2 as well, can comment.
FWIW - Booth allows you to submit a 60 second waitlist video (3 topics are given) in each round of Waitlist. So someone waitlisted in round 1 can submit a video then. If they are waitlisted again in round 2, they may submit an additional video at that time.
Recommendation per my consultant is that given we are basically at the end of this process, it's more important that you submit something rather than anything outstanding. People in previous rounds do all sorts of things, edit their videos etc. This time around probably just talking straight into a camera for 60 seconds would be enough. Booth waitlist is usually very deep and at this point no specific piece of info would get you in/or not. More a tick the box exercise.
Presumably you would have deposited at Kellogg by now. Would you realistically give up your Kellogg deposit to go to Booth? If you are seriously going to do that, I think you should let them know that you have an offer from Kellogg but would prefer to go to Booth (but obviously say it in a nice way). They say they don't care, but they do... (per a '17 Boothie).
