lfcmaj24 Likes Earned: 12 Connected with current students and a professor, including a visit to campus in January (they say a visit doesn’t move the needle but I at least wanted to feel out the campus myself since I’d never been). I reached out to admissions about the visit and they connected me with a first year MBA ambassador who gave a tour. I submitted two update letters with key areas of impact since submitting my R1 app (both professional and personal), making sure to tie things back to my application story and noting other programs I was accepted to. I also applied to KHS but obviously got denied given my R1 waitlist, asked if they’d accept my letters of recommendation from that and they said yes, but wouldn’t guarantee they’d be considered. My recommenders independently sent them to admissions without me seeing them. Then, tried my best to forget about it! (1)
