The amount of contact a B-school wants and expects to have with waitlisted applicants can vary by school.
Some invite additional information that might strengthen an applicant’s candidacy or confirm continued interest in attending others discourage additional contact.
The number of students accepted from the waitlist can also vary from school to school and year to year.
