Aloha,
Hoping you can give me some insight into why I got dinged!
Applied: Haas, Ross (legacy), Harvard, Yale
Results: Haas, waitlist without interview; Ross, waitlist without interview; Harvard, denied without interview; Yale, denied with interview
Stats:
Undergrad: 3.6 Cum laude from Amherst College. English degree. Crew team captain, student senator.
GMAT: 740 (96% Verbal, 78% quant)
Professional: 2.5 years with nationally known non-profit as an executive. (Analogous to being the head of a small non-profit. Expertise in all aspects of non-prof work)
Location: Hawaii
Extra-curriculars: Board member, church; board member, local chamber of commerce; volunteer, local bike advocacy organization
Other factors: I did not have a recommendation from my immediate supervisor. Quant background is iffy (econ course, 3 comp sci courses, soft science course)
Questions:
1. What the heck does getting waitlisted without an interview mean?
2. Anything I can do to improve my standing on the WL?
3. What can I do to improve!
Thanks so much in advance!

Thanks for sharing your profile. You have a strong profile on paper which makes me think your essays or MBA story did not quite resonate with admissions at your target school. Unfortunately that is one of the hardest things to improve on post-submission. Every school is different so I would say try to get feedback on your application. Some schools offer a waitlist manager that serves this role, this is the best person to specifically address these questions. One potential opportunity is reclarifying your career goals if you feel there may be a disconnect, showcasing steps you have taken or plan to take that will get you closer to these goals may be a positive showing for admission.
