This letter may be the most frustrating of all to receive. It does not offer you admission to the Master of Business Administration Program at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, nor does it tell you that we cannot offer you admission. It is a "waitlist" letter.

Your application for admission to the Stanford MBA Program for Fall 2007 was impressive. Unfortunately, the number of candidates to whom we would like to offer admission exceeds the number of available places in the class. We ask for your patience as we determine whether we will be able to offer you admission to the MBA Class of 2009. If you decide to accept a place on the waitlist, we will review your file again, along with those of other waitlist candidates, and send you an update by May 15, 2007.

Candidates on the waitlist are not ranked. As such, we cannot predict your chances of being admitted. However, we can promise that your file will receive another thorough and careful review if you choose to remain active on the waitlist.

We hope that you will accept a place on the waitlist by submitting the online Waitlisted Candidate Reply Form by April 14, 2007. The form can be found at https://gsbapps.stanford.edu/mbaadmissions/waitlist. At the login page, enter mbawait as your user name and stan07ford as the password. While we are unable to speak individually with you to discuss your file, we hope that the following information will answer your questions and provide you with more details about the waitlist. Thank you for your patience and cooperation in following our waitlist procedure.

We advise you to begin the financial aid application process while on the waitlist. U.S. citizens and permanent residents should complete both the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and College Scholarship Service (CSS) PROFILE form. International candidates should complete only the PROFILE; there is no need to complete the FAFSA. You may complete the FAFSA form online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov; to request that a FAFSA form be mailed to you, please call (800) 4-FEDAID. The Stanford GSB federal school code is G22249. To complete the CSS PROFILE online, please visit http://profileonline.collegeboard.com. The Stanford GSB CSS PROFILE school code is 0265. All financial aid applicants are also required to send a copy of their most recent tax return/statement to the GSB Financial Aid Office. You can find detailed information about the financial aid application process on the GSB Financial Aid web site at http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/finaid.

I apologize for prolonging what may seem to you to be an already long and drawn-out process, but please know that you are still a very competitive candidate for admission. Thank you for your patience, and for your interest in the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

17、如何摆脱waitinglist？

Good luck!

yeah.....working on a scholarship essay......i am just looking for some "poor guy" to proof read for me....

u....want to be that poor guy to help me out??

yeah, u should definitely try to get off wl

heard that stanford sent out 50+ waitlists this year, please set right expectation

To Camehill:

Thanks a lot!  Yes, I will try because Stanford is my dream school and I only applied 2 schools this year and Wharton dinged me after my bad interview with Judith.  The WL letter did state that Stanford WL 50 applicants this year and their Class07 offers 360 slots out of 5000 applications.

Have u any thoughts about 1)who also got Stanford WL in China, 2)what admission rate for WL in this year's case, and 3)how I should try to get off WL specifically for Stanford?  Thanks again!

To yaoyao99 and all,

Thanks a lot for your encourage and help!  Do u know anyone who have succeeded from Stanford WL and may I have their specific tips?  Thanks again!
