I submitted an updated GMAT score towards the mid of November. Not sure if that is the reason why they kept me in the WL.

Lilou112 was waitlisted and accepted in 2014.

I've sent a message for advice but I don't know if I'll get a reply anytime soon.

My role has changed since I applied in December so I'm going to update my resume and maybe do a finance course on Coursera, maybe.

Way back in 2006, Laurie Stewart confirmed the following in an Accepted.com Chat Session

Quote:
Everyone is reviewed by our scholarship committee at the time of admission--including those offered admission that were originally on the waiting list.

In 2014, Lilou112 got a generous scholarship after getting accepted off the waitlist.

So yes, you do get considered for a scholarship if you are admitted off the waitlist. However, there are no guarantees.

It is strange that I can still go to the waitlist form and access the send update button.. Is this the case with you ppl too?
Did any one receive any sort of communication from Tepper after submitting your waitlist update?
