I have applied in R2 for 2024 entry to CBS, MIT, HBS, and GSB. I did not receive an interview invite for any school except the GSB. I am wondering what my reapplication chances are and where I should focus on my areas of improvement. I have significant undergrad ECs but limited ECs/ charity work post undergrad.

Waitlisted post-interview in R1, submitted one (not-so-major) update in Feb, now rejected from waitlist. Not upset about this decision at all but a bit surprised/amused by this.
