Waitlisted after first entrance exam, chances after retaking in mid/late May?
I took the entrance exam at the end of April and unfortunately got waitlisted. I felt like most parts went well, my English was strong, and my CV and motivation letter were good. Although I probably didn’t answer some of the exam questions as well as I could have. I was also asked something that was outside the topic list, which threw me off.
I now have another chance to take the exam on May 18, and I feel much more prepared this time. I’ve reviewed the topics properly and I’m confident I can do well with the knowledge part, but I’m still nervous because it’s my second chance and I really don’t want to get waitlisted again.
Does anyone know if taking the entrance exam around mid/late May is considered too late? Have people still been accepted after taking the exam around these dates, or are most spots usually already filled by then?
Also, has anyone here taken the entrance exam once, gotten waitlisted, then taken it again and ended up getting accepted?
I know no one can give a definite answer, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who had a similar experience.
