wait listed also....any idea about how successful people have been of the wait list in past years?

Couple of people posted that they were dinged after interview a page or two back.

Never seen metrics on waitlist churn but Soojin has made positive statements about it. you can read through the Ross Waitlist chats here: https://www.accepted.com/mba/MichiganRoss.aspx also she talks about it in some prior year blog posts.

Any round 1 waitlist applicant who interviewed in round 2, and their status changed to dinged? I am a round 1 waitlist applicant, and interviewed in round 2. However, my status still says waitlist. I dont know if this is the current status or just the status from round 1 that has not been updated. There is no timestamp on the decision. Help!!!

For those inquiring about waitlist stats - this was posted in the Ross Waitlist thread: Q: Being waitlisted can be a real drag for an applicant. Last year you put 472 people on the waitlist and admitted 131 of them. Do you have guidelines on how big your waitlist should be? A. It’s more natural. It happens when we review an application and we’re just not sure that we have a place yet. It’s not a matter of we want to have only 100 people on the waitlist and that’s the only number we allow. We let it be as big or small as the evaluators see fit. But we try to minimize the stress of being on the waitlist. If an applicant is waitlisted in round one, we communicate with them again in round two to say if there is a positive decision, we will let you know with the round two folks, if not sooner. If you don’t hear from us that means you will remain on the waitlist, but know that we are still reviewing you. When we get to the summer, we try to release as many folks as we can. If we know that we only got ten spots in the class that we are flexing, we are not going to keep 300 people on the waitlist. So we try to winnow it down as much as we can as we go. For the second evaluators, we highly encourage them not to waitlist people. So I ask them, ‘If you had to tip the scales one way or the other, which way would you go?’

Got in with some $! Will be interviewing with Tauber next week. Congratulations to everyone who got accepted. For those who didn't please keep your chin up, something better is waiting for you around the corner!

Congratulations to all admits! I'm among the waitlisters. 2 waitlists and a reject so far, still waiting to hear from one more school. Fingers crossed.
