建议讨论一下如何waitlist to admission

Up.


but my opinion is the chance is slim if the school is good.

I joined the online chat of wait list held by NYU adcom last month. And there were nearly 50 people in the chatting room.

我认为每个学校WL的政策都不一样，还是按照学校来总结比较有价值的。另外BW上面有每个学校从WL录取学生的人数，大家看了以后就应该心里有底了。

How can I see it from BW?

I personally know a couple of friends who went off the waitlist and got in Chicago and Darden.

If someone is on the waitlist, it means the applicant is basically qualified for the program. He or she should have a chance to get off the waitlist or a good chance of being admitted if she or she re-applies in the coming year.

The most typical situation the school will consider candidates on waitlist when some of their admitted students replied that they could not attend. It is easy to understand if one applicant got admission both from HBS and Wharton, he or she has to make a tough decision to decline one.

But it may not means when one slot is vacant, all the applicants on the waitlist are equally competitive or considered.    If the admitted applicant who withdraw was with IT background, the admission committee may first consider candidates with similar backgrounds. Apart from diversity, a school will also take into consideration an applicant’s enthusiasm and commitment towards the program. fficeffice" />

Therefore, if you are on the waitlist,    proactively and wisely    contact the school is recommended.
