did anyone here who was accepted off the waitlist get any money ? I know chances of getting $$ off of a waitlist are low, but just wanted to see.

Welp, no call, but I did just get a "New Venture Challenge" email that made my heart skip a little bit..

I had already moved on with my life, but now I can officially move on.

Got status update email, rejected. Boom!

Visited the school, sent alum letter of rec and video. Also attended a Booth event in my home city.

I was offered a full-tuition fellowship at another top 20 school, with a strong program in my field so was hoping to get a straight answer. Even though it would have been great to attend Booth, I am happy I can move on with my life and the idea of graduating with minimal debt feels really great. Good luck to the rest of you on your decisions.

So does anyone know how the process works for those of us still on the waitlist? Is it possible to stay on the list all the way until the start of the fall semester? I'm a R2 holdover.
