Waitlisted at Wharton March 24, 2005

Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , trackback

LOL, this was the last thing I wanted. With my nerves & jitters, I could have taken a ding and gone back home. But now, things again look blurry for the next couple of months. Ahh, possibly I cant do much even if I make it in R3 considering the visa issues etc. So, its official…

“Dear Simba,

Thank you for your application to the Wharton MBA program. The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your candidacy and decided to place you on the waitlist…”

Hmmm, am I sad… not really but dont want to prove the cynics right! So, for now, let me get ready to head on with Duke. First setback in terms of admit… first in the period of 2 years!

I am sure it will move you to Philadelphia. Is it really a problem with Visa?

What a bummer! WL is MBA admissions torture. Fuqua is a great program, can’t go wrong there.

I will yell hoarse as I always have - retake the GMAT.

Don’t take it personally. This means something about your package needs a little more tweaking. Look forward to hearing what you’ll be doing to improve it. Way better than a ding in my book.

Hey you would make it just keep your fingers crossed for some more time

12. Simba - March 28, 2005

Thanks for all the wishes guys!!

mbafarbe - Not sure how things will turn out on the visa front!! Ya, Dave, I am trying to reconcile to the same thing & I know, the only thing in my whole application that need tweaking is my GMAT score….

Hi simba,
looks like ur story will sure have some more twists like our never ending soap operas!!!!lets hope everything works out well.. The tag does matter,but what matters more is how much u can take out of the programme… i feel u should go ahead with your visa plans and hope for the best…
