I got waitlisted at Sloan since R1, and continued on the WL in R2. In their R2 WL letter they mentioned that this year was "extraordinary" and they are not optimistic that they shall have the opportunity to admit more candidates from the wait list this year. I am wondering if this is their usual reply in R2 in previous years, or if this year is really an "extraordinary" year for them. Any input is appreciated.
