Thanks for the info. Did you receive an email as well or just decided to check.

I didn't receive any email. Since I knew that the decision was coming out today, I just checked the website.

Brace for a long day, decisions weren't released until around 3PM PST last year. I think Peejay got lucky with his/her early morning waitlist.

Goodluck to everyone waiting for the decision today!

Before my post gets lost in the multitude of acceptances (hoping the best for the rest of you guys!), would anyone know what a person on the waitlist could do to better their chances? Because as far as I can gather, a significant update would be a better GMAT score or some major change at the workplace. Since none of these have happened with me, I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do rather than just sit back and hope to get an interview invite.
