It's funny how things how life goes into a rewind mode sometimes. I got a waitlist from ISB. Well, even they seem to be non committal about me :)
Something similar happened in 2007 with XL and somehow the memories of that aren't very pleasant. I guess the bad experience there was driven more by my over optimism and yes of course the whole drama over OBC reservation . So I was devasted back then and of course there was a major personal heartbreak which added to the agony. But, the whole experience made me a lot wiser.
Anyways, things are different now and while a waitlist is definately a ray of hope, I would consider it a no till the time I get a final offer from them. Yeah, of course it's much much better than a ding.
So what next, from what I understand they would reassess my application with R2 applicants and based on that give me final yes or a no by March next year. Now that is a long way off. Looking at last year's waitlist stats from my team, well one guy got a yes and another guy got a no.
Now here is what I plan to do next
1. Get dead drunk tonight- ISB is a prestigious institute and even getting a waitlist is something to be proud of and thus a reason to celebrate
2. Have a relook at the schools I plan to apply to. That calls for major introspection and frankly something I had stopped doing ever since I got the hallowed interview call.
3. Eat my dinner, it's getting cold
