So, anybody has any intelligence on how & when we hear? The latest email seems to suggest that they may start calling in Feb but going by the trend from last two years, I am not too optimistic...

Anyone heard anything or heard of anyone getting called off the waitlist??

Diver · Answer

none so far...since the deposit deadline has just passed, I am hoping we could hear something by next week. Also, there seem to have been very few interview invites for R2 yet...fingers crossed!

Mothakes · Answer

FYI, just got the below email. It may give some notification timing guidance to next year's waitlisters...

BSkool2016 · Answer

"The Admissions Committee has completed another review of your application and would like to offer you the option to continue on the waitlist."

punitgouthi · Answer

So are R1 people still on waitlist? I just got wait list for R2

JBLA2016 · Answer

Anyone from R1 get off the waitlist. I was just waitlisted from R2. I thought my TBD went well. I'm worried there might be too many consultants that look like me applying.

bpgarrid · Answer

Today I received the call from Wharton. I was waitlisted in R1. Good luck to all of you, there is still hope!

dontwaitlistmebro · Answer

Yeah I got off the waitlist yesterday from R1. Maybe i should change my username now.

mbakk · Answer

Congratulations to guys who were accepted after being waitlisted.

Did you guys send update materials or do anything else to improve your chances? Or just sit tight and wait?

KeepStrongCarryOn · Answer

Bump this for all of the waitlisters!

mbakk · Answer

Got an email from adcom saying "some" might hear by the end of the month, while everybody should get an update on 6 May. Any movement for you guys?

JTL · Answer

I got the same email on Friday evening. No change on my application status ... keeping my fingers crossed!

punitgouthi · Answer

Any advice on kind of information or updates you have shared......it is a little late but wanted to know for next year!

JTL · Answer

First off - don't sell yourself short by expecting to be on the waitlist! :-D

It has been a bit tough working out how much contact to have with the AdCom as they were quite explicit about not petitioning them with additional information etc. I have erred on the side of caution so as not to pester the AdCom, but have also been quite clear about my position and intentions.
