下面是哥大校友御风行在校友问答中的解释。Another chance.加油。 A CDer sent me a message: "hi, 御风行, I'm sorry to bother you again. I received feedback from CBS last night and was informed I was waitlisted. What's my chance of being admitted, in your opinion? the following is what CBS sent to me, would you pls take a look and give some suggestions? thank you very much Message The Admissions Committee has given full consideration to your Early Decision candidacy for the class entering September 2007. While we recognize the strengths in your application, we regret that we are unable to offer you admission at this time. However, we would like to defer our final decision until we have reconsidered your application within the broader pool. " To help more people who might encounter the same problem, I am posting my reply here. As far as I know, "reconsider" is better than "waitlist", because it means that you will be treated the same as second round applicants, while "waitlist" means you won't be considered again until there's slots unfilled. To increase your chance to be admitted, go through relevant threads on CD. I don't have much say on this. All I know is that you can update the adcom of your recent achievement/improvement, keep in touch with your interviewer, etc. Good luck! |
