Does anyone have any sense of how many individuals are on this waitlist? I just recieved an email from my waitlist counselor as well. I'm getting that there has been zero movement, but what is the scope here?

I'm waitlisted at UT and Fuqua and I've decided to make a leap overseas to go work for a Russian hockey team. I'm just trying to see what the odds are I have to jump back over here in 6-8 weeks.

I *think* each counselor sends them out so timing might be different based on when they have availability. Hopefully you all hear in the next few days.

Thanks
Just realize that they send it to my other email address. Well at this point I won't keep my hope up, the effort for next year's application starts now :)

Honestly, that's a good plan. You've made it this far so you know you're 95% of the way there. With just a little more fine tuning of your application (and the additional experiences you've gained in the past year), you should be able to make strong applications for EA/R1 at Duke and elsewhere. And, if Duke comes through at the last minute, then you're all set :)

Nothing here, I'm waiting to let them know I'm withdrawing until I get my summer counselor. I did just log onto the application portal, and I must say, I'm liking the new interface, much nicer.

I'm starting my GMAT again, trying to improve my 700 score since I'll compete against Asian pool. LOL
I do believe that I'll have a better chance applying Duke again although some essay questions will be hard to write... aka 25 randoms things... I really liked mine this year^_^
I'm sure I'll figure it out though. Hope you enjoy ur time in Yale

Maybe they'll have a different essay prompt next year? Hopefully one that's still "fun" though!

ha I doubt they get rid of the 25 random, god, it's pretty much the only thing adcom wanted to talk about whenever I'd see them at events. I'm pretty sure that essay is here to stay!

Maybe we'd all have the same counselor? Either way, east coast and R1, maybe it has to do with last name, or industry, or shirt size... who knows? I'm pretty sure reading into it isnt worth the stress.

I'm in Cali - San Francisco - got my wait list counselor email this morning. At least we are all still in the game.. Even if the game has gotten a lot harder :)

So guys and gals, what exactly is the role of a wait list counselor and how can s/he help me get into Duke?

I'm hoping that no email means I have some good news coming in the next few days, but that's probably wishful thinking.
