Hey guys,
I was wait-listed without interview in round 1. i have since provided 2 updates and 3 additional recommendations. I havent heard a word from them since my last update. Anyone from India who was wait-listed and got an interview call?
Also, is it too late and no hope left?
Johnson is my last shot at B-School this year. So really hoping that it falls through.
There is still some hope, but the waitlist is far from a sure thing. As I understand it, they use the WL to fill out their class if matriculation misses their targets. That means you are at the whims of everyone else who got in. That also means that they are looking for people who really want to go there and will matriculate if granted admission off the waitlist. Keep them updated and make sure you are on the top of the pile when they go to start filling in their class. There are plenty of discussions on here (I'm sure someone can provide a link) about strategies for increasing your chances of admission off the WL.
I'm sorry, but unless you work at Johnson, everything you've said is nothing more than a guess. Different schools use WL in different ways, and I can come up with a few dozens of plausible theories on how Johnson looks into it and approaches it's WL candidates. Not to mention that every applicant has a different application, and reasons why someone has been WLed are also different.
