'Waitlisted' at Ross!

Finally, i heard something from the school to which i submitted my first application

Today 01/15 was the decision date for Ross and somewhere deep down i knew that i would be waitlisted. I knew for sure that i would not be dinged directly. I always believed in the quality of application i submitted. Although i also knew that the quality of application i submitted for Ross was considerably different from what i submitted for Stern. This was mainly because Stern was my last application and thus i had more time to work on this one and by the time i started writing Stern application, i was already experienced in writing apps :)

Now i know how long this waiting game can be.

I know i can convert this to 'admit'. I will need to put a strategy in place for this.And i really need some guidance from all you guys out there. The moment, i saw my waitlist decision, I knew i can rely on all the people from this blogosphere in order to convert this to 'admit'.

Any help and suggestions are really appreciated.

Congrats on Ross waitlist - its better than ding.

I got waitlisted @ Cornell and the school is offering feedback on strengthening my app. Do you know if Ross offers such feedback to waitlisted candidates?

Did you visit Ross before interviewing?

hey Ross is not offering that kind of a feedback. Though there are some general set of guidelines.

So you mind sharing inputs from your Cornel feedback?

no, i didn't visit Ross anytime...will it help now?

Also, most probably i will be given a promotion by my company in March, so i am really waiting for that to come as it will greatly boost my chances...

Hey,

First of all congratulations. I wish you convert this into an admit. I too have been WL at Ross, that too without any interview (I am not a reapplicant).

I am withdrawing from the waitlist. Have made a decision to attend Tuck. Yes, I am on pagalguy too. :-)

All the best with your waitlist at Ross and hope you get in at all the schools.
