I converted from round 1 WL to round 2 acceptance. I wrote an essay but poured everything into that essay and I guess the adcom was able to see that.

I was just placed on the wait list this past Friday, and plan to submit an additional essay and request an interview. Can you provide any advice?

Anyone with a positive or negative response? I received a "waitlist" decision on 5/13, not sure when is the final decision date since all the official dates have already passed.

I emailed on Friday as I was waitlisted too, and was told we would receive another decision on May 25th -- of course that could be another waitlist but as least we have a date. I will say that I uploaded the supplemental information late (after the April 1st deadline) and I think they may not have even looked at my application and just waitlisted me again. That could be false but for some reason I think that's the case and why I am going to get another decision so soon after the last.
