Columbia MSOR DDL approaches, need advice about msor WL

[doladd]

Dear all,
I was WLed by msor,but the ddl to reply to UMich MFE is approaching. I prefer msor but cannot afford losing umich if msor eventually denies me.
I see there already more than 50 ads from quantnet and other sources. And half of them have been confirmed. So could you guys please give me your idea? I need to reply to umich in 2days. Thanks alot

Ask Michigan MFE to extend your deadline.

@Andy, In such cases would It be a bad idea to ask the waitlisted college also to speed up the process..sayin that we have another deadline to meet?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Your best strategy is to cover both ends: ask the programs that admitted you to extend deadline and ask the programs you are still waiting to give you answer faster. Hopefully, they will meet somewhere in the middle.
I don't know of any program that will deny you because you annoy them. You gotta get them work for you.

Thanks all. Now the question is how possible will aWL of msor become an AD?
