Just got the call from Pete Johnson, I'm IN!!! (with 1/2 tuition scholarship for both years)

All right, way to go man! That is some serious cash to go along with it too. I never doubted they'd call, I think you've got pretty much the ideal profile to them. I am dissapointed I wont be joining you guys in the bay area next year. Well someone has to form the GMATClub West contingent to balance out the Midwest power.

Really? I didn't think this would be much of a decision at all. Although if you get your MBA from UCLA you will score a California degree hat trick! :-D

The west coast would be a nice change of scenery...and I would like to think less expensive then Manhattan.

I had to run outside of the office to speak more "freely" (and get better reception), but it was a good conversation and perfect since I'm heading up to Berkeley for recruiting on Wednesday, so I'll swing by and say hi.

Anyway, the convo lasted about 8 minutes, with some details about things coming up like alumni events, admit events, etc... I was just stuttering like an idiot saying "thank you, uh huh, thank you, thank you..."

Wow... this is probably the happiest admit for me (especially coming after the Stanford ding), and I was truly nervous when Pete started to call people this afternoon. I'm glad it's finally over...

Thank you all at GMATClub for your constant support (and PMs/emails) throughout this process. There is no way I could have done all this without your camaraderie, advice, reviews, critiques, and shared pain (and happiness). I owe it to y'all!

Good luck to all the others here, I WANT to see you at Days at Haas in April, a'ight?!

(I think I can finally begin to write my "journey" post, now that R1 decisions are over)

Holy moly--congrats!! Guess I won't be seeing you in Evanston next year :-D

thanks again everyone!

River: Haha, I'll still come and visit Chi-Town and see all my brothers and sisters there!

Who knows, maybe Kellogg will offer a full-ride and a rental apartment?

mba2010: Haha, yes yes, Haas is probably 90-10 against UCLA right now, but I like to make very informed decisions, and will attend UCLA's admit weekend (as well as Kellogg's if they let me in) to be 100% sure. I never want to have that "what if" moment.

I mean, you did go from Haas being #1 to going to Kellogg for sure, right?

bherronp: Don't give up! It's not over until the fat lady sings!

terry12: Yes! Let's show those Chicago people that it's all about quality over quantity, hahahah

Anyway, I am very very honored and touched by all your congrats notes! You guys are awesome!

thanks again everyone... I'm rooting for the rest of you!

BTW, who submitted for R3???

Oh yeah, here's a gem (not as good as nervousgmat's eval though)

Accepted.com wrote:

Minimal at Stanford, slightly less minimal at CBS, unlikely but possible at Haas, possible/maybe at NYU and UCLA.

Tempted to ask for a Kellogg eval...

Congrats Kryzak!

I am an applicant for 2009 and Haas is one of my top choices. Hope you are around to guide us through our applications next year.
