Does anyone have a copy of the original waitlist letter? I remember it discouraged contact with the admissions office, but I would like to express my continued interest in the program. I applied very late, and was waitlisted promptly. Would contacting the MAC be a bad idea at this point? I don't want to disregard their preference for contact in any way.

Thanks gravelrox. Are you waitlisted or a r3 or r4 applicant? I wonder if that goes for just you or everyone?

Thanks guys, yeah I'm going to be going to Smith (University of Maryland). Deposit will go in tomorrow now that I know McCombs is out. I wasn't 100% sure if I got into McCombs that I would be going there anyway. Both schools are fairly similar in rankings, program, etc. I was leaning towards McCombs because Austin is awesome, but In state MD was enticing as well.

No need to worry about a tough decision any more, I'm gonna be a Terp

Smith is a great school man, so you'll still be getting one awesome education. It's always better to know now than waiting around in a state of limbo. Good luck in College Park!

Two additional reference letters? Or just letters accompanying your resume? (Congrats on the promotion btw!)

Via random online status check. No email sent. I did everything I could within reason, I visiting the MAC, spoke directly to Vicki via email. But at the end of the day, I guess my $hit DOES stink.
