I am applying Wake University's full-time MBA for Fall 2006.
My background is listed below:
Undergraduate: NTU, B.S. in ME
GPA: not very good, around 3.
GMAT: 620
TOEFL: 257
W/E: 5 years in Telecom carrier(Taiwan Fixed Network & Sparq)
I received this email to announce my application status tonight:
"The Admissions Committee has carefully reviewed your application for admission to Wake Forest University's Full-time MBA Program for Fall 2006. At this time, we can only offer you a position on our wait list.
There are a number of reasons why we place candidates on the wait list, and we encourage you to contact our office to discuss your application with us. We have been successful in advising wait-listed applicants in the past and in many instances, applicants have been able to strengthen their candidacy to earn admission. We review our wait list monthly and will notify you immediately if your status changes. If you do not wish to remain on our wait list, please let us know.
Contact us if you have any questions or need additional information. We look forward to hearing from you and appreciate your patience."
I got several questions:
1. In a normal situation, does this email mean I will still have the chance to be admitted? If it does, how long will this period usually be to change my status from "wait list" to "admitted"?
2. Should I reply this email to reveal my eagerness? If I should, what should I write within the mail?
I know my background was not good. However, being neither rejected nor accepted really confused my next step. If anyone got any similar experience as mine, please kindly give me some suggestion. Thanx a lot.
