many congrats to folks who got confirmed after waitlist. could you share what happens after a person is waitlisted. do they ask you for any further essays or you just have to wait? would any 3rd reco from an alum help at such a stage?
for those who haven't heard from the ad/com about interviewers or haven't got replies from interviewers, my experience might help:
14 Jan - pre-selection email
18 Jan - details of both interviewers
20 Jan - wrote to both, heard back from 1
25 Jan - emailed my co-ord that the other guy hadn't replied
26 Jan - got his other mobile number and 2 more email IDs from ad/com, called & fixed interview the same day
both my i/ws next week Monday & Tuesday, hope they go well
