Below is a Dee-Dee gram fr. her blog, good for her in sending out some real info, unlike some other leading business school which prides itself on transparency, well, for others. The 70 kids off WL last year, seems high to me, given numbers that were dribbling out, but there could have been a surge. Anyway, good benchmark to keep in mind.
Round 1 Update

Now that it’s December, we’re in countdown mode to the December 15 notification date, so here’s what’s happening:
I think there may be about a dozen more interview invitations going out before the 15th…this is just a matter of reviewing how the class is shaping up at this point and going back and re-reviewing before final decisions are made.
As I’ve said before, we are building a waitlist of round 1 candidates – both those who have been interviewed and those who haven’t. A “waitlist” letter in round 1 is essentially a “further consideration” decision – we will try to resolve many of these cases after we review round 2 applications. Last year we ended up admitting 70 people from the waitlist.
The next update – probably early next week – will be about how decisions are released on December 15.
