Hey Neha,

In all honestly, in my experience, being put on the waitlist without an interview is never a good sign. If a candidate has been interviewed and then put on the waitlist it's always a better sign. Maybe you should call them and talk about it - people at the univ have been very honest and forthright with me thus far.

All the best with your apps.
Arjun

From their Full-time MBA: Application Instructions

International applicants applying for 2013 enrollment must submit an official transcript from any degree-granting college or university for which a degree was earned. Official transcripts must be sealed in an envelope from the university. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to request an official transcript evaluation from World Education Services (www.wes.org) at any time during the admissions process. The Admissions Committee will accept either the "WES Basic" or "WES ICAP" evaluation, submitted at the applicant’s expense.

Yes i have. Wake Forest fit perfectly with my requirements (Small class size, Scholarship, dedicated career management team and close to friends/family).
From the sounds of it, you still haven't finalized.

How long does it take to get an interview call once one submits the application?

Hi Arjun,

Congrats for the admit.

Any particular reason as to why you only applied to Wake Forest in US, considering there are many other schools in US that would seem a good fit for you?

I am guessing that it might be because of co-located family/friends, but any other reason besides that?
