Do you mind sharing where you're based at? I'm based in NYC and did the following: -very plain video (me talking in front of a camera for 90 seconds, divided into three sections on why Booth is right for me) -GLOWING recommendation letter from a previous supervisor (honestly makes me wonder why I didn't use them as my primary rec for Booth) -an update letter I cobbled together highlighting my recent achievements (I freaked out when I discovered an egregious typo in the very last sentence, but it worked out!)

Congratulations to those who got the call!
I just noticed a strange status update dated May 1. Do other people also have this update?

I'm based in Chicago. CONGRATS!! I think we were all definitely rooting for you buddy. This week feels a lot better than the Kellogg silent treatment from last week IMO.

Got in off the waitlist at 4 pm EST. I could not be happier, I saw the message on my phone at work and I had to call back in a different location. I was so excited, I didn't hear if she said that the email with details would come today or tomorrow, did anyone get an email yet? Posted from my mobile device
