Conversion chances from waitlist 15 Jan 2022, 05:11

Hey gmatclub community,

I had applied to ISB ('23) for their PGP program in R1 and have been waitlisted. Does anyone have general idea as to what are the chances of conversion from waitlist ? Or are there people who convert from waitlists or it's very rare ?

Any help/stats is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi ap060597 , waitlisted in R1 means the school wants to wait and see if there are better candidates in subsequent rounds. Therefore your prospects depend on the quality of applicants from your industry of work, deferrals and withdrawals as people get international admits. I had two recent applicants who got waitlisted by ISB - one from IT Consulting and the other(a very promising one) from Enterprise Sales for a global startup. To my surprise, only the IT Consultant made it through the waitlist successfully. I suggest you keep your backup options planned out.

Best wishes

Hello ap060597,

Hope this finds you well.

We have had students who have converted the ISB waitlist. Thus, while it is not 'very' rare, it is not something one can rely on (as it is with waitlists in any other school).

All the best!
