Still taking it all in, but I’ll start doing my research and asking around about Booth’s waitlist and what we should all expect.

Here are the last year's very basic WL stats. i am also still researching and poking around.

The 47 indicates the final status that was NOT updated and likely means a Ding but it is not updated from WL.

From last year it looks like there were a few in the WL forum that got accepted.

First question, they dont really specify but I'm assuming the video can have editing? Like Sloan and the Kellogg videos were straight up, but I'm like to do some editing (mainly voice overs) here

First glance at last year’s info, it looks like candidates on the waitlist got acceptance calls 2 weeks before the round 2 release. So we’re looking at March 5, 2020.

Did the dings for WL go out the same 2-week before timeline? If not that’ll be a tough two weeks to survive.

It seems like the waitlist admits started 2 weeks before the round 2 notification. They rolled in until the round 2 date and then dings went out.

Has anyone had activity on their Booth application or any change to the estimated March 5 results?

No - is that something we should be looking out for?

Looks like round 2 interviews conclude on February 23. So, that following week waitlisted candidates will likely be compared with round 2 applicants before another decision is made. Again, based on last year’s info, we should start hearing waitlist admits/dings/waitlisted again on March 5 (or that week). One more month!

For everyone waiting on Booth, here’s what you should expect the next few weeks:

-February 23: Last day of interviews for Round 2

-March 5: Round 1 waitlisted applicants will begin to get news of admit, deny, or continue waitlist. Keep in mind this is rolling until March 18.

-March 18: All admitted Round 2 applicants will get a call from Booth notifying them. Everyone that doesn’t receive a call will get a decision on the portal the next day of either deny or waitlist.

-March 19: Round 2 decision release. No calls, likely no emails, just portal updates.

Best of luck to everyone anxiously waiting!

What updates did y'all send in for the waitlist? Just the video or something extra?

It’s been a long wait, did you look into or apply to any other schools in round 2?

Did you visit the school during the process or do an on campus interview?

Yes, I visited the school twice now. I am also on the waitlist for other schools, but Booth is really the only option I would take. If they don't take me this time around, I will be reapplying in sept :)
