对方来函，通知推迟录取结果，而将申请人放入Waiting List, 并告知Waiting List上的申请者何时能最终获得录取结果的消息，需要申请人确认是否愿意接受这一安排。有意思的是，该商学院说，申请人在此期间，如果有新的重要材料可以补充，以便充实自己的整套申请材料，对方会十分欢迎。

对方来函：

        录取委员会仔细地审阅了申请材料，决定下一轮再决定申请人的申请结果。也就是说，申请人被放在了Waiting list上。对方请申请人在10日内回复是否留在Waiting list上继续等待，并承诺如果申请人继续等待，校方会在截止日期前告知最后的申请结果。

        表示委员会不会解释为什么申请人会被放在Waiting List上，也不会将waiting list上的学生排序。并强调，经常有waiting list上的学生获得录取。

        建议申请人若想提供新的申请材料，可以考虑以下各项，强调提交与申请密切相关的事实证据才会被考虑。

申请人可以：
更新简历，说明有新的职位、升值等；
提交新的GMAT、GRE和TOEFL成绩；
提交新的推荐信；
更新成绩单，把最近所修课程加进去；
写一篇新的短文，包含关于申请的重要新信息。

        校方特别要求不要提交视频、照片、论文等以上建议范围之外的材料。指出所有补充材料可以通过电邮提交，并在5个工作日内被招生委员会看到。建议申请人定期查阅网申系统，申请结果会出现在那里。如果申请有了结果，学校也会自动发邮件提醒申请人查阅网申系统。

因为该商学院是一所相当排名靠前的学校，申请人表示同意，去函确认：

我方去函：

        首先彬彬有礼，感谢对方的告知。随后表明心迹，明确的回复自己愿意留在waiting list上，利用这一机会再一次强调自己对该学校的热忱。

        既然对方提到经常有waiting list上的学生被录取，当然也要表示一下自己的信心和积极的态度：我会耐心等待，期待能够被录取。

        再次强调：在整个申请过程中，该校一直是首选。自信地表明申请人仍然认为自己是有竞争力的，并且被放在waiting list上就说明学校也认可他的实力。最后重申自己的兴趣和决心。

        既然自己对该校这么感兴趣，当然要拿出行动来，于是申请人紧接着表示自己会尽量提供更多的更新材料，并感激招生委员会看这些材料的努力。

        最后，提醒对方将自己的决定（愿意继续等待）记录在案，并请对方或教授给予具体的建议：想要被录取，还需要哪些努力。

对方回函：

        表示确认申请人留在waiting list 上。
