I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who are on wait list at LBS. Lets swap strategies and moves to get off this dreaded status and attain the Admitted status we worked so hard to achieve. I am planning to reach out to my interviewer and politely let him know of my waitlist status. Hopefully, he can provide me some feedback or tips to get in. Good luck to all!

I worked in UK some 6 years back. Back then, it used to take 2 weeks for a work permit to UK. I think student visa should be even easier. Though the rules have changed, it shouldn't be that tough.

The Visa norms have become much stricter now. One of the major factors is when was the last time you traveled to UK since they verify your biometrics if you have not been there in the past 5 years. The whole thing can take a month for even tourist visas now and things might be more hectic because of the Olympics. Anyway I am in a similar situation and I feel it would be better to get selected and start two weeks late than get dinged now.

Hi everyone - I got accepted to INSEAD, so I'll be taking myself off of the LBS waitlist. Hopefully that gets everyone a little bit closer to getting off of the list! Best of luck!

Congrats! What's your special reason for preferring INSEAD over LBS?

Waitlisted in R4 !! whats the idea behind waitlisting in R4 when the session is to start in August. how will people wrap up their lives within couple of weeks... and will it be possible to get visas within 2 weeks... specially with olympics around.... anyoen else waitlisted in r4 ? or any pending waitlisters from r2 and r3 ??

Still on the WL from R2 - next update is scheduled for the 4th of July. Best of luck to all!

Still on the waitlist! Next review is pegged for the 18th of July. Anyone else in this position?? What are your thoughts at this point in the process?? It's getting late! As always: best of luck!

Stil on WLAN. I think at thi point, I see very little chance of movement in WL.

Right! After being a silent spectator on this forum since R2, It's time to share some info. GMAT-680. Still on WL after R2. Next review date- 18 July. Seemed to have got used to living with all this uncertainty!
