CMU R2 out...no luck yet for me

Round 2 results of Tepper were announced around 2:00pm this afternoon.
I was refreshing the page all morning, waiting to see if by twist of luck, I get the flash e-mail that say's "you are in".

No such luck. There were some admits reported in BW forums and gmatclub.
Tough to extrapolate the profile they are looking for purely based on the "numbers" I saw. Neverthless, I saw one Indian/F/750GMAT, one Indian 740/M/30/Engineer, one South Asian 700 GMAT in the admits list. At the same time, there was also a 740/M/Engineer who was WLed.

So, I am back focussing on the task at hand - retaking the GMAT on April 2nd. Hopefully I get a better score this time around and get off the CMU WL. Who knows ?

One thing that I noticed is that CMU tends to WL a lot of people, rather than just DING them. I believe that someone with a WL should have reasonable hope to get admitted. Going by CMU's 2007 stats - 2 out of 220 got off the WL, I think that is hardly a possibility. They might as well Ding a lot folks rather than put them in the misery of being in a WL situation for 5-6 months.
