Admit. Sifted through my mailbox to delete mails and suddenly bumped into an admit mail from Ross. I got no phonecall and presumed it to be what would have been the umpteenth ding. But Ross it is.

They told me on the phone I got a scholarship from the Tauber institute. It wasn't mentioned in my admit pack though. Hmm...

Received one Friday! Super excited, but kicking myself that I didn't apply round two. Anyone have a general idea of how many spots they fill in R3?

Ding. Quite disappointed considering I was very positive on this one, from the interview as well as team excercise. Waiting on some others now.

Hi, congrats on your interview invite. could you pls share your profile and where you are based in etc. thanks

Hey have any of R2 waitlisters recieved any email after Friday regarding the google group thing or anything? I have recieved no communication from them yet..

I wouldn't worry about the group yet, it was almost a month after the notification that I was added to the group in R1

Thanks for the reply..so we should just sit tight..cant do much until then?

I think so, in R1 they gave us a chance to submit a one time update in mid February. My guess is they will do the same in a month or so for R2. Anyone know if we can submit another update if we already submitted one prior to R2 decisions?

I believe you can. https://www.bus.umich.edu/Admissions/waitlist.htm "Candidates who were waitlisted in Round 1 are welcome to provide an additional update through the online form." /fingerscrossed #hoping #praying #waiting haha
