Notes:

R2 applicant (R3 to Tuck and Stern). Waitlist after interview at Wharton and before interview at Cornell. 4 YOE.
Apply R1 if possible. Don't overlook importance of non-essay components of apps to complement/add rather than repeat. Take time to address weak points (e.g take math/finance courses if from humanitites background). Get mult. opinions.

Note:

I’ve stayed on the waitlist since March and provided 2 half-assed personal updates about continued interest and a promotion. I didn’t chase alum or student recs as I was accepted to another top choice school which I think would’ve helped turn the decision around in May. Best of luck to everyone else!
