Hey that's not bad news really. After all it's Stanford. Chicago will always be there anyway :)

I know someone who got into Stanford off the waitlist two years ago by schmoozing with an influential alumni. Regardless if it helped or not, it couldn't hurt to submit an "I love Stanford" letter and/or have an alumni write on your behalf.

a waitlist isn't bad at all. not the ideal scenario obviously, but at least you're still in the game!.....so the wait continues? or do you think you'll go to chicago?

Argh. I was so sure you'd get in! Well, all hope is not lost, and you still have 3 schools to choose from and MIT around the corner! =o)

not so good, but not so bad either...pursue the waitlist, and you just might get in.

good luck.

grr is the word. I was pretty sure you'd make it, but hey it is far from over. I hear Stanford waitlisted 50 for round 2, so it is not bad at all. Though the Stanford class is small, their biggest competitor for dual admits HBS's intake is 900. Plus tons of S admits get into HBS (the other way is not true). So you have a very real chance. If you can, get some influential alumni in the valley to write you a reco. Stanford pays a lot of attention to that sort of thing. Good luck.

Echoing Spanky, congrats on getting this far. There are tens of thousands of people who'd love to be in your shoes.

Don't forget to give us the details of your trip, when you get some rest.

The waitlist got to be frustrating, but at least Chicago wants you. Good luck to your decision.

Yes, we must hang out some time. But the question is "where we will hang out?" Chicago, New York, or California? ;-)

it's one of my favorite books! i thought it was amazing how he managed to blur the line between fact (or what we believe to be fact) and fiction. i ended up buying and reading his other three books within a week of completing the da vinci code.
