Need help. Do we need to respond to Elieen's email to indicate that we desire to stay on the waitlist? Thanks!

As a HBS waitlist applicant from a previous year, the instructions were to only email if you wish to withdraw from the waitlist. (No Response being treated as desire to stay on waitlist).
Not sure if the mail/procedure is the same.

It's a hard wait, but some will get off to form the 'Salad' (as Dee likes to refer to it). Best of luck!

Does anyone know round 1 wait list figures (ie how many people, timing of when people get admitted, how many roll over until March, etc).

Good luck everyone

do you think they're making calls prior to Eileen's next email update on ~1/20? Or will the calls go out between 1/20 - 1/31?

Anyone heard of anyone getting a call yet? If calls haven't gone out, I expect Eileen will email us today (or very soon) letting us know that they are starting to make calls.

Also, what's the protocol with sending Eileen an update on the last two months of your life, or emailing in another rec, or w/e other strategy people have thought of to push the needle in the right direction? Is this a big no no?

shocked we haven't heard from Eileen yet. Though maybe she's made calls already and we just haven't been on the receiving end. Betting there's an email update tomorrow morning.

When I started the whole thing, I thought the preparation for GMAT was tough. Now I realized that GMAT was nothing when compared to the waiting. :)
