i also found a previous transcript of a wait list chat when i randomly searched on google. i can't post urls yet (too new :)), but if you google sloan r1 waitlist, it should be the first result (it is a pdf). should be a useful resource!

Is it fair to expect that candidates who have been interviewed and then put on waitlist have higher chances to be accepted than people waitlisted without interview?

I think that's possible, but keep in mind that the waitlist is also used to keep people who have strong profiles but might already be represented in the pool of accepted candidates. For example, there may be too many people of a certain demographic and/or professional background, and if one of those people does not accept Sloan's offer, then the person on the waitlist who matches that profile, all of a sudden, becomes a high priority on the waitlist.

Did everyone get an email today from the Admissions Office with a reminder of the chat taking place on Thursday and reminding people to fill out the webpage accepting or turning down a place on the waitlist?

Yes, I received that email as well. I'm guessing the same email was sent to everyone then. I was worried that my webpage submission hadn't gone through. Did anyone email back to follow up?

Hello fellow waitlisters. Another year, another dream potentially deferred... but life goes on.

At this point, does anyone have advice on how to get off the waitlist? Aside from getting letters of support or improving my GMAT, what may really move the ball in 2-3 months?

Just curious for everyone's thoughts.

I've added everyone who has posted so far to the list. I combined the w/ and w/o interviews all into Round 1 to make the list easier on the eyes.
