Thanks a ton for that info and for the positive vibes!
You seem pretty knowledgable about Booth, so I have a few quick follow up questions if you have any insight/if you don't mind answering.
- I guess the good part about being a late WL candidate is that you don't have to wait as long as the other WL applicants for a final decision. That being said, do you know if Booth has a final decision date or a rough time frame for making these decisions?
- Does the fact that they waitlisted me so late say anything about my candidacy in terms of how close I was? Just because I would think traditionally in a Round 3 scenario, especially extended - you'd either get a yes or no at that point. I know Booth doesn't order candidates, but do you think perhaps I'd be a little closer due to recency? (Again, I recognize your point that it depends on your profile and how they want to fill out the class).
- If it is ultimately a rejection, does that bode better for my candidacy next year? Basically not much would've changed in my profile, they'd just have a full class to fill at that point.
Essentially, I am trying to balance the line between getting an MBA and taking another job. I'd rather get the MBA, specifically at Booth, so I'd be more partial toward waiting to apply again in the Fall if I have to.
Thanks again for your valuable insight!
