I gave them a call. The receptionist was extremely nice, but didn't tell me anything that I couldn't already find online. She transferred me to a member of the adcom, but again, nothing I couldn't already read online.

Curious to know whether anyone waitlisted (with or without interview) in R1 saw any change in status in R2 (admit/ding)...

I noticed that at least one user has had his R1 Waitlist upgraded to an R2 Admit!

So there WERE movements..

I emailed them after submitting my essay earlier in the week asking if they would like an additional letter of rec. I was told that a recommender COULD send one just through email. All supplemental materials in; now more waiting....

I feel your pain. I got waitlisted in 3 schools and only one seems promising. I may very well be shutout.

Hey guys, after having been on the waitlist since mid-December (gosh, 5.5 months is a long time for them to decide, don't you think? One way or the other!) I decided to put my first deposit at Olin. I'll write to McDonough AdCom today and my name will be off the WL.

Good luck to you guys, I hope it works out for you as it did for me! (I was WL by Olin in March too; got an admit 10 days ago)

Cheers.

I've been waiting for about 3 months. Although I had five offers, Georgetown is still my target. Painful!!
