Hey thanks.
Dunno, can't seem to pique anyone's interest. A humbling experience, MBA apps. Maybe being unconventional seems risky to AdComs?
R2 Tepper decisions go out on Monday.

I think yours a pure case of tough luck. I think you should make into Tepper! Good luck!

Do you know anything about chat sessions with Adcom for WL candidates of Ross?

Thanks again.
I first got a visceral sense of how selective these schools are in R1 (architects are virginal when it comes to MBA apps). Applying to GSB/Wharton/Haas was a mistake. I wrote an essay about how I helped design Stanford GSB's new campus - not even an invite. Monday's a big day.
I keep reading about that Google group set up by Ross for waitlisters. So far it seems to be a myth...

I am hopeful that you will convert Tepper and Ross. So what are your efforts after you were wait listed in Ross? Emailed the adcom? Sent the additional stuff?

I'm thinking I'll upload a well written professional update in the next week or two. I've heard not following the waitlist instructions carefully is a no no, so I probably won't email anyone.

I seriuosly would like to convert into an admit. But no significant updates from job are possible. What else can I do? Any ideas?

I might get a promotion but it won't be known till 2 months from now. That is unsure. How exactly can we present this?

Sniper,

Ask your HR to give the impending promotion to you early. I got promoted recently and it is there in the app. Waitlist is a stressful place to be in. God(Soojin???) bless us all.

Well, I can't ask my company to promote me so that I can quit work. It seems really difficult to get this done. My company folks are too slow to act on normal things. For something like 'promotion' they will be too slow.
