Hi Nikhil,
I personally wasn't assigned anyone. For context, I responded that I accepted the WL decision, and was invited to provide a video response by Jan 11, but I haven't provided a video so far (most likely will pursue another offer).
Best,
Clemens

Anyone else on the waitlist who has submitted anything else besides the video? Updated resume? An essay? If yes, can you please share how was the Adcom’s response?

Thanks

Just got waitlisted yesterday for Round 2... not sure if it would be more competitive when I get pooled into Round 3 or if I would have a better chance. Hope to hear more about anyone's experience!

There must be more that were waitlisted, at least in my application chat group which covers most of the applicants from my home country, there are around 12 on the round 2 waitlist.
