Good profile - there is the question of what passport you have. If you are an overrepresented applicant, then you will need to improve upon your GMAT for these colleges. Else, you will have a competitive app.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion! I am an Indian by ethnicity, although I have a french passport, recently, I have had an increase in GMAT Focus score to 715

Your GMAT is great, no need to improve there, it surely was the other parts of your application packet. You can get off the waitlist at both of these schools, I believe in you.

Hey @PNRJr, I hope you are doing well!

We see that you have been waitlisted by Darden and Ross. We understand that being waitlisted can be tough, but it’s also a sign that you’re still in the running for your dream program! Stay positive and proactive, many candidates who stay engaged and continue to show their commitment ultimately succeed. Keep pushing forward, and remember, the journey isn’t over yet! You've got this!

We've created a special blog for the "Waitlisted Strategies: How to Navigate the Process". It will help you with the necessary tips and insights to increase your chances of success!

As we have very little information now, we cannot comment much on your profile. If you plan to apply to some more schools in the next rounds/ intake, we’d be happy to evaluate your profile and help refine your strategy. Together, we can identify strengths, address gaps, and ensure you present your best story to your dream schools.
