Anyone opt to stay on the waitlist? Did you get any confirmation back that they got your email?

I opted in yesterday and received an auto-generated response saying that my place on the waitlist had been confirmed.

Thanks, got it in the spam folder.

I opted to remain on the waitlist. I got a promotion at work and plan on taking the GMAT again in March. Crossing my fingers for everyone!

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: So you’re on the waitlist. Now what?

We know “waitlist” wasn't the decision you were hoping for last Thursday. But rather than seeing this in a completely negative light, keep in mind that being waitlisted indicates there were many strengths in your application. Tuck receives a lot applications and the pool is very competitive. Also remember that it’s not over yet! Almost every year, we admit people from the waitlist to join the first-year class in August. To give yourself the best chance of being one of those people, there are things you can do while you’re waiting to prepare yourself for business school.

First, take a deep breath. Do something healthy for yourself. Spend time with family and friends, go for a run, or whatever you do to decompress. Good decisions about future paths are rarely made when you’re under stress or feel anxious. Release some of those anxieties and put your efforts into building a wise strategy for moving forward.

Second, follow the instructions. Your decision letter lets you know what you need to do next. You’ll need to decide whether or not you want to remain on the waitlist. If you choose to remain on the waitlist, an Admissions Officer will get in touch (typically early spring) to let you know if there are any steps you can take to enhance your application.

In the meantime, however, this is a good time to look back on your application and decide for yourself what your strengths and weaknesses are. An honest assessment of what you could improve is a great opportunity for you to come up with a game plan. Maybe you think you could score higher on your GMAT, or you realize your goals or your rationale for your MBA weren’t clear. That insight can help you take proactive steps now, without having to wait for feedback from us.

Third, trust the process. We know being in limbo is challenging. We work hard to make the waitlist process as informative and clear as possible. If we need something from you, we will let you know. Update us with important information such as promotions or updated test scores. There’s no need to make surprise visits to campus or stay in constant contact. Keep in mind how you handle yourself on the waitlist also gives us an idea of how you will handle yourself as a student. You can help your candidacy by maintaining your professionalism and checking in every once in a while.

For those currently on Tuck's waitlist, this email address is the best way to provide updates or ask questions. As you look forward to receiving feedback, we thank you for your patience!

New member in the club fortunately or unfortunately. What are the odds for someone without a promotion at work of converting it? No point giving my GMAT again either.

How have the conversions rates been earlier?

I was waitlisted last year... you can expect notifications for feedback calls around June. Some may receive an email from their waitlist officer even earlier than that.

Offering two articles written by Karen Marks, who was formerly a Associate Admissions Director at Tuck, which could be useful for waitlisted candidates here:

Want to know why you were really wait listed?
https://northstaradmissions.com/want-know-really-wait-listed/

and

How to get off the wait list
https://northstaradmissions.com/wait-listed-dont-just-wait/

Hope these are useful for the folks here!

Hi everyone!
I was told that the adcom gives an update on WL candidates on each round decision date.
Is this true? Has anyone heard anything from the adcom yet?

I got feedback from Suds on 8th March that no action is recommended at this point. Don't know what to make of it. Applied Early Action.

Officially joining the WL club! Thankfully I already have a GMAT scheduled soon (I applied with a GRE score)... hoping that ends up being the "actionable feedback" they give me...
