Hi Prospective Class of 2019,

My name is JC. I'm a current 2nd year at Booth (your friendly neighbor down south) and once a former waitlisted applicant, who frequented these forums when I applied way back in 2014.

That said, over the last year, I've had many one-on-one informal conversations with prospectives and decided to consolidate all that info into a single, distributable post. To that end, I recently wrote a medium post on tactics for improving your chances on the waitlist based on my personal experience and research.

Though the case study I run through is about my own process through Booth, I believe many of the tactics will be broadly applicable.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

From what I've heard, most decisions will come back in March after the R2 decision date. Admitted students have until mid-February to make their final decision so I bet there will a few spots then as well. It'd make sense that there could be more after the R2 admitted commit deadline, too.

In the waitlist update, it says that someone will reach out within the next few weeks. I assume there are no immediate steps we need to take in the meantime?

Correct. I called admissions last week with a couple of unrelated questions and asked about that, too. He said emails would go out sometime in the week after New Years.

How to Get Off the MBA Waitlist - YouTube Live by GMAT Club and Personal MBA Coach.



Dear Waitlisted Applicants,
You put a lot of time and effort into your MBA applications and, after months of hard work, you’re…waiting. It’s ok to scream into a pillow or go to town on a punching bag. It’s frustrating! But after you do, sign up for this youtube live session hosted by Scott Edinburgh, Founder of Personal MBA Coach. He'll talk about the process, the stats, do's and don'ts, and what has worked for his clients in the past. He'll wrap everything up with a live Q&A session. You don't want to miss this!

A Wharton MBA graduate with a BS from MIT, Scott has been an MBA admissions consultant for eight years and has helped hundreds of applicants around the world get into top MBA programs. Besides perfecting the MBA admissions process and making dreams come true for applicants from Tokyo to San Francisco and everywhere in between, he has also worked across consulting, financial services and strategy & corporate development roles before becoming a Full-Time admissions consultant. He ran Global Strategy / Corporate Development as a Director of a 700 person leading independent publishing company. He also worked for InterContinental Hotels Group in Global Strategy, as well as JP Morgan and Deloitte Consulting in Mergers & Acquisitions. His experience in many of the jobs applicants have today or hope to obtain post-MBA helps him advise them on the best ways to not only get into their top choice schools, but position themselves for their dream jobs.

As an individual MBA admissions consultant, he takes the time to get to know every client personally as they go through the journey together. This starts with a deep analysis into applicant's background, an identification of his/her objectives and a thorough development of personal story. His no BS approach ensures that nothing falls through the cracks and his feedback is honest, non-sugar coated and immediate. He push his clients very hard and the work pays off. 96% of his clients got into one of their top two or three schools. He works with applicants applying to full-time MBA programs as well as Executive and part-time MBA programs.

Has anyone heard back with a decision? Since Feb 9th was the deposit deadline for R1 I'm assuming a few waitlisters would've heard back.

According to the waitlist FAQ, we won't hear back until the R2 decisions, which are on March 22. The long wait continues.

I think there's a chance we may hear back a little earlier (i.e. in the week leading up to the 22nd) based on my correspondence with an admissions officer. I don't have anything super concrete, but in context it looks like 22 March is more of a no-later-than than anything.

Thanks! That's some helpful insight. Can I ask who your Waitlist Manager is?
