bkhu · Answer

waitlisted as well. did you guys schedule an appointment with adcom? i didn't see slots open....im thinking they may have filled and i need to call them to get an appointment

iVoRy · Answer

I scheduled an appointment on 12 January. The schedule was filling so fast, 12th January was the fastest schedule was open on 14th Dec. (Only 1day after decision released) I guess the slots must have been filled by now. Definitely email the adcom and asks them if they can open another slot for you. It's just a 15 minutes call, I think they should be able to find you one if you ask them nicely.

bkhu · Answer

Thanks! yes i tried emailing and calling. they must be real busy since the holidays are coming up. i will try again. i have an idea of what they would want me to work on. but i definitely want to hear it from them to confirm. =)

iVoRy · Answer

Did you contact the adcom? How did it go? The feedback I got was quite specific. Hope I can do enough to improve my profile to gain an admit in time. :-D

bkhu · Answer

Yes. I was able to speak with adcom. I had to send a few emails to try and get a hold of them but it worked and I am glad. I expected a lot of the comments that were made about my candidacy. I think overall, the likelihood of being accepted off the waitlist depends on the conversion rate of Round 1 & Round 2 applicants.

I will remain hopeful though. Good luck!

I will remain hopeful though. Good luck!

With R2 decision coming, is there any other waitlisted applicants still waiting?

mgo113 · Answer

Throwing my hat in this ring! Clearly I'm doing something wrong on my apps to be 0/4 on admits. But I'm excited for the waitlist feedback and very curious to hear to what they have to say. How's everyone else doing?

GLJ2019 · Answer

Still waiting from round 1. Will we have to wait until round 3 decisions for any changes?

iVoRy · Answer

I am also not sure. When I speak with the WL manager it seems like domestic applicants time line is different from international applicants.
Did you get any feedback from the WL manager after the feedback session?

GLJ2019 · Answer

I did-raised gmat and sent additional email for why darden. Did you?

iVoRy · Answer

I sent an additional email for why darden and worked on a specific issue that the adcom concerns about my profile and send them several updates(every 2-3weeks) during the period.
