Oh. That means not much hope for wait listers. 680 is a pretty big number. And, they have given 300 waiting calls also in GEN category!! That makes it total 750 odd calls for some 200 seats !!

last yr some 500-520 final calls were given in open category. but i don't think that last yr's data will be of much help as iimc has observed that the no. of overlaps are less this yr.

[Sangfroidisback]

but IIM C would have observed the number of overlappings with A and B only...because nobody will opt out IIM c for LIK.........wht abt the increase in seats of IIM c this year????

[kennyG]

I think the overlapping issue would appear most in case of C only !
till last yr the calls for A n C were given on almost similar criteria i.e. CAT score and the cutoffs were also in similar range. But this time as A gave a lot of calls based on acads so there is bound to be difference this time.
B has always given calls on basis of acads so there will be higher overlap between A n B this time rather than A n C.
All in all i guess it should not have much effect on K. Infact this time there should be more overlap with C and K thus helping waitlisters (like me) at K.

Guess all my assumptions lead to a happy ending for me so it sounds quite convincing to me atleast

Wat say ??

Converted
But will be joining IIM Calcutta. Just thought it would be useful for people who are wait listed.

Best of luck to everyone!!!

we can notice that almost all the guys converting A were having K call also....so we can safely assume that 120 out of 194 having K calls....now C has around 200 gen seats and assuming atleast 100 to have K call.....now i think we can safely assume that around 100 will opt out K for B and L.....I know few people opting I over K....there are around 180 gen seats in K.....ppl r saying that arnd 450 gen calls were given....so i feel that WL should move atleast by 50-60.....

is there any flaw in this logic??wht say??

Hey,

Please, do not speculate too much as of now and concentrate what u r doing.
I'm too wait listed, but trying hard not to attach my emotions.
I know, its not easy to keep aside these things.
Ur logic is pretty good, but we can never be sure of number of calls overlapping.
N most imp thing, we cannot predict decisions of ppl.

It will be really painful, if we fail to convert WL.
So, Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

All the best !!

[knightofseven]

I agree with starpict completely. Its hard and painful to get waitlisted and ur decision sounds fine to me. Just hope for the best and be prepared for the worst.

'Konverted..

[kennyG]

Yeah even i did all sort of maths of calls for couple of days. Esp. after got the waitlist number. But now it all seems like probablity theory. Even if u have 99% of probability of conversion the rest 1% can always be spoilsport.
so just keep ur fingers crossed !!!

i am sorry to say that there is a flaw in this.......true that 120 out of 194 A guys wud be having K call too.....but they might be atleast 80 having the C/B call too......so they would be rejecting that too.......so the guys with multiple converts have been counted more than once in the above calculation......also the waitlisted guys in B/C would actually have to send the DD to K to confirm the seat in K(coz they cant bet that B/C WL would convert and leave K) and they wud get the B/C call later and hence reject K later....therefore i wud say that the WL of K wud definitely move more than the expected 60 but in a phased manner ie by the end of may, it might touch 100-120


all i wanna say is that in the above logic the overlap of other IIMs with that of K has been taken into account but the overlap of other IIMs among themselves has been left which also would affect the K calls....

also last year they sent 520 calls for open category with 150 seats and they had an excess of acceptances by around 10 which screwed up their ratios (with other categories)....so this year they sent 400 calls for 180 seats, so the WL should move by atleast 120 considering the overlaps with other IIMs add up to the same as last year.....i am saying atleast 120 coz with 520 calls they got 160 last year, so 400+120 calls they should be filling up 160 and for the last 20 seats they wud need to call up another 30 (coz all in the WL need not accept either)....so it adds upto 150 WL convert.....therefore atleast 120 WL shud move

u see all this math is an estimation and doesnt add up to anything.....best thing to do right now is to stop thinking and wait .....this excruciating wait just got longer
