Waitlisted without interview. This is better than the ding from Cornell yesterday!! Now we need to figure out how to go about getting off the WL!!

guys anyone else here waitlisted?? would love to hear some strategies besides retaking the gmat or receiving a promotion.

In - from Canada - got the call around 11am

How did you guys check for financial aid?

Accepted. Got the call on Wednesday.

for those of you who got WL'd, I feel for you, as I was WL'ed at another program. I did some research myself, and here is a list of things for you to read: 1. Interview with adcom of many schools regarding WL https://www.accepted.com/chat/transcript ... list_Chats 2. read book called "great applications to business school", it has a section on how to deal with WL to summarize, in general: 1. find out if your school accepts additional updates. if so, send MEANINGFUL updates every once in while. if not, do NOT contact the adcom. 2. if your school accepts additional update, try to send in updates every month or so. 3. acceptable updates are: promotion at work, new responsibilities you have carried on at work or in extra-curricular activities, new transcripts to classes you took, higher GMAT score. etc. 4. timing is important too. try to submit your WL update a month before the possible WL decision change. The key is to stay active, show that the adcom you really really want to come to this program and you will definitely enroll if accepted. be aware that being on the WL means this process is largely out of your hands. There are limited things you can do, stay optimistic and let fate unfold. Best of luck to you all!
