m1428 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Anyone else get waitlisted? This is a whole new experience for me (not getting rejected outright)... not sure if real hope or just extending the torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralk Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Anyone else get waitlisted? This is a whole new experience for me (not getting rejected outright)... not sure if real hope or just extending the torture. The e-mail invites state that we have to "accept or decline" our interviews... Maybe they'll let others interview if the initial round has some people declining? Waitlisting does seem very odd for the interview stage though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After people decline interviews they invite who they can off the waitlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how often I actually happens that someone gets off it. After least it does give a measure of how good your application was overall I guess.

After least it does give a measure of how good your application was overall I guess. A couple years ago I was waitlisted at mac for an interview and got off the waitlist about 5 days before the interview. I ended up waitlisted for the program--so at least you know you can still be semi-competitive if you get off the waitlist for the interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After least it does give a measure of how good your application was overall I guess. I declined an interview two years ago. The only reason I declined it is someone had posted here that they got accepted after being waitlisted for an interview, so it seemed a little selfish to go to the interview just for the hell of it when I already knew where I was going.

trojjanhorse Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Average VR = 11.43 I never could have predicted such a large increase from last year. Excellent work Trojjan! Edit: Sorry, probably shouldn't spam this thread I know!, I didn't think it would jump so f'ing high. I got lucky with the CASPer. I'm glad to see you in the list bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froston Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Its probably closer to 10.7 since this is pm101 Yeah, the sample is probably biased and fairly small to boot. Perhaps they're relating this to past PM101 means though (I have no idea). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they're relating this to past PM101 means though (I have no idea). i just summed up the results. I'm also betting that the VR avg didn't jump that high. Probably high 10s. 10.7-10.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
