Congratulations to everyone admitted!! Have a blast today!

In off the waitlist. Hope to meet a number of you at BDW!

I understand that the WL can be extended till the end of Summer. Do R2 WLers at least have to wait till the R3 decision date (May04) for any update? Or does Fuqua move some WLers earlier as well?

I haven't received any confirmation email yet.

Waitlisted--not amazing, but not horrible either. Congratulations to all of those who were admitted! For those who were waitlisted in R1: I see that some of you sent in updates with promotions, etc. Unfortunately, there's no room for growth in my job, so I won't be submitting a promotion. But... I was thinking of seeing if they'd accept the score that I have on the GRE (in addition to my GMAT score), submitting an additional recommendation, a mid-term grade in a Calculus class in which I'm already enrolled (an A), and possibly an additional (short) essay about why I NEED to be at Fuqua. Does anyone have any thoughts about this strategy? I'm very open to any suggestions or feedback that anyone has! ~M

I had pretty much given up hope for Fuqua after not being invited to interview for R2. I just checked my decision and I have been waitlisted and invited to interview. This sounds like a good thing, right? It made me happy. Still in the game.

I just woke up in Shenzhen to find my acceptance notice. Very excited. Congrats to everyone else who has been accepted and good luck to all those on the wait list. I hope that this is just good news deferred.

I'm certain that the AdCom will appreciate how proactive you are trying to be. See below for my take on each item on your list. - I'm not sure how the GRE score will be able to help your cause. Unless the GRE score is significantly higher than your GMAT score, I don't think you will gain much from this. - If you have another recommendation letter submitted, it would be best if you have a current student or alum do this. - You should absolutely tell them about your Calculus grade! - The additional essay is great, but keep it concise. Don't say anything that they already know. Good luck!
