Don't mean to be a jerk but Sandy mentioned you have a 10-15% chance from the waitlist and then its a 50/50 game again to get in so its tough/ It also depends on your job function and locaion and how it fares with the incoming R2 applicants, so you would have an edge if you have a very particular background and they're trying to shape the class with what they have. Well, anyways, wish you the best of luck but don't lose focus on the other schools!

Based on the wording of the notifications I would think that the waitlist Sandy is referring to is the one that interviewed R1/R2 candidates get placed on (the people that are legitimately on a wait list with their hope of getting in based primarily on accepted applicants matriculating elsewhere or failing the fact check). Seems like that actual waitlist will be started in December for round 1. Those on further consideration are probably just chucked back into the round two pool towards the end of the process, once they weed out the weak apps. I highly doubt that HBS would make us hang in so long if they didn't plan on taking us into at least semi-serious consideration (by interviewing a fair number), they seem to make an effort to free people up to pursue other opportunities if they will not be accepted. Of course I'd love to see the post you refer to if you think it implies different, and I could be wrong, but I have a feeling more than 10-15% of the FC folks will get at least an interview.

No, actually I think you may be right on this one if we make the distinction between 'further consideration' and 'waitlist' (which is usually at the end of the R2 process) but still it would be weird because then the 50/50 wouldn't have much sense (this usually happens after the interview) so there shouldn't be a two-stage probability game namely 10-15% and after a 50%, but well anyways, I didn't mean to cast doubt or anything eitherway, best wishes and hoping you'll get in!
Cheers!
