mbaapppp123456 Likes Earned: 4 I did everything I could - went to visit campus (from Peru) 4 times, attended all virtual events, contacted admissions, schedules meetings with different people from admissions, met with students, attended classes, got in contact with professors and attended events they hosted, got like 8 support letters (if not more), sent about 3 waitlist updates. Also had a couple of big milestones at work and volunteering so made sure those were also in the updates. It was a lot of time and effort put into this, but in the end it was totally worth it - I was interested in a particular program they offer and did everything i could to join. Good luck to everyone else on the waitlist!!! (1)

mbaapppp123456 Likes Earned: 4 I got waitlisted in Dec 2023 for the first time. Got a call from an admissions officer early March (I assumed she was the one overlooking my application). Was invited to remain in the waitlist late March the day that some decisions were released. Asked for an in person meeting with my AO when I went to visit early April. Got accepted April 25. (1)
