My letter came in the mail today. I would assume everyone's letters are on the way.

NEWS FLASH -> Boston University rises in the latest US news MBA ranking from #44 to #42. While many other schools in the Top 30-50 bracket suffered a dip, BU did great! Congratulations to all the admits! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b1/7f/33/b17f33695c16349a776e403561768d99.jpg

Any waitlisted candidates here. I was waitlisted and there is no updates yet, I have been asked to wait till July. Need to deposit in other schools. What do you guys feel, is there a chance for me?

Definitely place the deposit for the other school if you want to go for MBA this year. Look at the yield of BU to have a sensing of waitlist chance. I would say BU waitlist convert should not be that tough.... But definitely dont bank on it esp if you have not done anything to boost your profile (ie. new GMAT score, new promotion etc)

The yield of schools in the Top 20-50 bracket is not that high. Speaking of BU(2016 data) -> # of apps = 1067 # of admits = 381 # of enrolment = 147 Acceptance rate = 35% Yield = 38% So all hells to the yeah, you have a pretty good chance. A dear friend of mine just gave up 70k aid at Questrom. So some of you might get a great aid too. HANG IN THERE ! P.S -> Off-course you should pay the deposit to other school! https://media1.tenor.com/images/114efe8193f25de11ffe50687d906a19/tenor.gif?itemid=5548557
