Hi,
I got an email on the 15th saying that I was waitlisted
The email states:
The Admissions Committee has completed a comprehensive review of your application
materials and would like to offer you a place on the Two-year Ithaca MBA waitlist. We
recognize potential within your application and encourage you to take an active role in
strengthening your candidacy.
At Johnson, we evaluate your application holistically, via academic, professional, and
individual lenses. Throughout the coming weeks, you are encouraged to review your
application in its entirety and identify areas in which it might be further developed. For
additional context in identifying areas for application improvement, please refer to our
admitted student profile and plan to join us for an upcoming waitlist webinar.
Should you prefer to decline your waitlist invitation, please email [email protected]
stating that you would like your application to be removed from consideration for admission.
Review of the waitlist will be conducted on an ongoing basis throughout the remainder of the
application cycle. All updates to the status of your application will be reflected via your
online application account.
We thank you for your patience and for your continued interest in Johnson.
My questions:
1) What can I do at this stage to make my application better? Do I re-write my essays and send them? Or do I make a new document outlining some points that probably weren't highlighted enough?
2) What are the general stats around waitlisted candidates? How soon can I expect a reply, what is the general conversion?
Thanks

First of all what is your GMAT as compared to the average? And if you are over-represented is it 20 over the average? If not this is kind of an invitation to retake the GMAT.
If your test score is on point, have somebody review your application who is a professional. Doing this yourself is very unlikely to get at the answers because a fish doesn't know what water looks like.
The good thing about this is that it will help you shape how you need to approach your waitlisting effort, and also inform your approach for future applications.
Likely there's a problem with your application meaning the recommendations or essays, CV, or your goals, and often a good way to remedy this is to offer more evidence of your leadership ability something like that. What you'll want to do is create an update letter, you don't want to rewrite the essays that's going to undermine your credibility quite a bit.... take a targeted not comprehensive approach.

How is a 730 score not enough for Cornell? Do you have a good amount of community involvement in the last 2 years?
