dinged. Finally can focus on my admits. Good luck to you all!

Wait-listed again in R2 after one in R1. Decided to go to Goizueta finally! :D

Wait-listed again as well. Assuming all goes well at GBR this weekend, I will likely be attending Ross.

Has anybody gotten feedback from admissions on why they were waitlisted? Does that happen?

When emailing the mbawaitinglist@sloan.mit.edu address, who did you address the email to? Dear Becca or Dear Admissions Committee?

does anyone have the transcript from the chat?

Not sure if anyone is interested, but here's how I got off the waitlist from R1 to R2: -I sent two update letters: one talking about updates in my job and an explanation of why I was passionate about MIT and the second about work again, including a major project I worked on -I had two colleagues send in letters of recommendation. They're both more on the level of peers and went to different b schools, but i thought they were the best to speak about my character and drive. -A transcript from MBAMath, which I completed over the holidays. My lack of quant skills was mentioned during my interview, so I wanted to show them that I was willing to put in the work. -An article I published. This was the major project I was working on and I thought they'd be interested in seeing what my end result looked like. Happy to answer any questions! I know it sucks to be on the waitlist, but you can get off if you put the time and work in and you really love the school. Good luck!

Can you share the timing of all of your updates?

I have sent my update on April-21 and got reply from Becca the next day. What about other waitlisted candidates? Where are you, guys?) what are you going to do? Good luck to all of us!
