WashU Olin MBA Applicants: 2023 Intake Class of 2025

Congratulations

Waitlisted, does that mean there is still hope or should I take it as a rejection ?

In my opinion you still have a chance. If you read threads from prior years for Olin there were people admitted that had been waitlisted initially.

Not sure it is a big chance but a chance nonetheless

Even I have been waitlisted

have they just waitlisted everyone whom they didn’t interview?

Think so, wait list

Why keep all on wait list.

true..doesn’t make any sense

Shifting focus to other schools

yeah..thats all we can do

Congrats!!

Even I've been waitlisted without an interview. Any info regarding how frequently the waitlist moves and what's the general waitlist movement every year?

Looks like they have waitlisted everyone who were not invited for an interview

But then will there be an interview if the waitlist clears or a direct admission?

Traditionally, everyone who is waitlisted is considered for future rounds until either denied or admitted.

So you could be invited to interview in round two or round three.

I feel it would be unlikely for them to give you a straight admission after a waitlist, without an interview. However strange things have been happening last few years.

I would probably recommend reaching out to the admissions team and clarifying what you should expect from the waitlist process. Usually there is a waitlist manager to whom you can send updates or who may reach out for updates to you. Updates and improvements to your waitlist status, could include anything from improved test, scores, promotions, raises, any awards, or other meaningful items. You can also Talk to current students and perhaps ask them to send a letter of support for you, but those are generally pretty weak. If you had a low quant score, you could take a Quant course of some kind and then present the results and share them with admissions team. Again, most likely you would be put back into the evaluation pool for round two, but it would be nice to know it 100%.
