Hey All.
A question to those who secured admission somewhere else, in addition to being WListed at Tuck.
Have you made up your mind? Are you planning to go somewhere else?
I understand that past and next a few days are decision flurries, so it may change. But getting that idea of how WL is moving (from applicant perspective - from Tuck, it has been static, except additions with every round), would a good thing.
Second question I want to ask is:
What did you do to improve your chance?
Sorry for late response but after talking to multiple students and admissions people at various universities. One thing that stood out regarding waitlist was
either get a better job offer and contact tuck that you are willing to let go of that exceptional job and extra money
or get a higher gmat score and update them.
It's all about leverage, you are showing willingness persistently. You are also competing with other waitlisted candidates so make sure you stand out as much as possible.
