Be patient. With the global resurgence of the pandemic there will likely be deferrals again this year for international students who are unable to get to the US. This will have a trickle down affect with people getting accepted through July and possibly into August for programs that start later.

Look for ways to strengthen your profile and/or show the love to the school.

If you applied R3, then likely that’s the reason why. If you don’t get off waitlist, just apply earlier next time since they clearly want you, but likely have someone with your background that they have extended an offer to.

I think here, it’s better to be waitlisted at Ross than GSB since since yields at Ross are much lower. There are a lot more schools higher in rank than Ross that they have many people who prefer to go to M7 (for prestige or $$)

I thought Ross was waitlisting everyone this year? If that is the case this is especially tough because it’s not clear if you’re an official waitlist or a reject.
