I have been waitlisted at 4 schools out of 6 I applied to.
Waitlisted at Cornell and Tepper with interview
Waitlisted at Duke and NYU without interview
I applied to the full time 2 year MBA program at all these places.
Female from India 730 GMAT, 11 years work ex with strong leadership roles, Current industry Insurance. Post MBA career option: FinTech.
Is it usual to be waitlisted at so many schools and having no conversions?

Sorry to hear about the WL's - I would say those are a lot better than dings 
but my guess you know that on your own.
You have potentially 4 horses to be on though I would say the Fuqua WL is one of the most painful ones; they often keep people on for months and months through August basically.
To answer your question, it is not typical to be WL'ed but these are data points for you. I would use this information to note a few things for your R2 strategy:
You got interviews at all schools and WL at the end. Likely the deciding factor between you and some similar candidates was the interview. I would really prep the heck out of it for the next round and see if you can blow them away.
You can take a bit of a lower notch in terms of the school choice. You can also see if you want to pursue 1-year programs that are more along the lines of your experience grade (11 years is a bit on the higher side) which sometimes tends to interfere with recruiting as you are over-qualified for many of the jobs.
You did not apply to Ross?
P.S. Would you mind adding your status for the schools to the profile/decision tracker?
you can hide the username or everything from your profile if you don't feel like sharing it publickly but your anonymous data will help future generations who will have the exact same questions - is it normal to be WL'ed???

Arpita2020:
Yes, unfortunately, it is very common to be waitlisted many places without a conversion. It usually means there is one component of your application that is close to a dealbreaker, or at least a consistent concern. The waitlist has been a convenient way for these schools to improve their yield and fill their class sizes, especially this year, with so much uncertainty. Without knowing much about you other than these facts, you seem like a great candidate but easily one that could be on the fence for these schools given your relatively good GMAT and long years of experience.
I would not put much stock in the two schools you were waitlisted without interview. Those now seem like long shots. For Cornell, you should definitely attend the waitlist seminar and follow up with a direct admissions committee member. They can hint at the element (or two) in your background that you can try to improve that might help you move off the waitlist and into a seat in their class.
Sorry for the mixed news but good luck and chin up!
