Most candidates feel mixed emotions after hearing that they were placed on an MBA waitlist. While, naturally, getting a spot on the MBA waitlist is not as good as getting accepted to your target MBA program, being placed on the waitlist is generally good news. This means that the admissions committee liked your application and believes that you would be a great fit in their class. However, they are not quite ready to offer you a spot.
Here, Personal MBA Coach has shared MBA waitlist tips and your MBA waitlist chances, as well as the most common reasons candidates are placed on a waitlist.
