Not all adcoms provide feedback to active WLers. The only school I've heard of doing that is Tuck. Also - all WLers are in the same boat as you in terms of timeline, so you're not at a disadvantage. I would review your application to find weak spots: Did you have a lower GMAT/poor demonstration of quant skills? Unclear career goals? Lack of fit with Johnson? These are things you can address in an update. Keep in mind the adcom wants SIGNIFICANT updates to supplement your application, so two months for a certification isn't a bad thing. Lastly, the adcom doesn't need to hurry for the sake of WL applicants. Their goal is to build the class they want, and the WL is a tool for that. A lot of WLers put down a deposit elsewhere to make sure they have a seat in an MBA class, but if their dream school calls with an offer, they have no problem swallowing the deposit they've just paid. Best of luck!

Congrats, What a great way to start the holiday. I was so happy to find out before the winter break.

Ahhhh this wait is killing me! Hope everyone had (or is still having) a great holiday, cant wait to find out my fate!

I got the email about the 'unexpected challenges' they're facing, although the details are pretty much the same as on the admissions blog.

I have a skype interview tomorrow. could anyone be kind enough to tell me what lines of questioning to expect?

This wait is killing me!!! : S Im out of the country now and my phone is unreachable.. Does anyone know if the adcom leaves a voice message?? or they will just send me email if they try once and the person doesnt pick up?

I'm pretty sure they are on a winter break now. Some of the AOs are still doing interviews but the decisions will be made till they meet after the NY.

Agreed, I wouldnt expect anything until the 2nd or 3rd Here is their holiday schedule https://www.hr.cornell.edu/policies/all ... idays.html

Happy holidays everyone! I've been away, but as an FYI I interviewed December 17th and got a call at 9pm EST with the offer! Hopefully I'll see some people at Destination Johnson in April! You're all guided by a force much stronger than luck, so I will be wishing none of that!
