MBA Waitlist Response

MBA Waitlist Response

Business schools use MBA waitlists to ensure a sufficient class size and start admitting MBA waitlist candidates if the school's yield (the number of accepted students who enroll) is less than expected.

An MBA waitlist is composed of qualified candidates who have neither been accepted nor denied admission to a program.

If you are placed on an MBA waitlist, MBAPrepAdvantage can review your MBA waitlist letter and help determine how you should best respond. Your goal should be to have positive name recognition among admission committee members when the school starts accepting MBA waitlist candidates. Depending on how your MBA waitlist letter is worded, your mini-campaign can include phone calls, letters and/or additional recommendations that discuss new promotions, projects, GMAT scores, classes, etc.

MBAPrepAdvantage understands the fine line between interest and annoyance and can determine which strategies are appropriate for your situation.
