Did anyone who was wait-listed in r1 heard anything so far?

Not heard anything yet. Havent seen many waitlist candidates discussing anything on this forum. Not sure when will adcom come back.

Hey all. Congratulations to those who are in or have been invited for interview. I applied for the Dec. 4 deadline and haven't heard from the adcom yet. Just wondering if there's still a chance to get a positive response, since the decision notification date is Feb. 15. Anyone has any info to share?

did you get a interview invite? if not, we are on the same boat... applied for the dec 4 round, and didn't hear a thing from mccombs... i guess the best thing i (we) can hope for is that at least mccombs wait-list me...

Just talked to admissions! I am in! Admissions said email with official notification will go out on Friday as expected. Seems like they are making a call to everyone that got in until then. Keep the faith everyone.

I just got the admit call! Woohoo! This is my first admit and it means my MBA dream is really happening. I did not receive the email, to those who are still waiting. Posted from my mobile device

congratulations! looks like you are doing really good, with all the admits and interview invites. i have sent you a private message, hopping to get some advise from you. would you please take a look when you have a chance? thanks!

Had anyone's status online changed?

I wonder why some people are being called and some emailed. People who were called: Did they tell you, too, that you'd hear about scholarships in a couple weeks?
