Quick update. Dana replied that HBS is not currently releasing the number of students on the waitlist, but will send an email updated that may or may not included an updated number after May 30, the Round 3 decision deadline.
In other news, I got accepted into Booth today! My guess is it's fair to say that the chances of getting into HBS at this point are probably less than 10-20%, right? Has anyone heard anything?

Congrats on Booth. You have a decision on your hand. Yale vs Booth.
Thanks! I know. Just when I had finally decided Yale over Ross and Darden. But, it's a good decision to have to make. I think most people would think that it's a no brainer and to go to Booth, but Yale might make more sense for me given a few factors:
-I think that I will likely want to stay in education - if not immediately following b-school then in the long-term. For this reason, Yale's loan forgiveness program (100% loan forgiveness if you work non-profit for less than $84,000 and 50% loan forgiveness if you make less than $94,000) is really appealing. In addition, Yale's mission to produce leaders for business and society aligns with my own ambitions.
-I am betting that Synder will really grow Yale's program. If Yale's b-school gets within the top 5-10, then you a pretty killer combo in terms of brand new university + top business school.
That said, I would love to gain the harder quant skills from Booth (as someone without more than ~2 years of private sector experience) and it's a solidly top 5 program.
Any thoughts folks? (I realize this is probably not the right thread for this, but what the heck.)
