Looks like we are getting delusional.

I'm just as neurotic - I set all my email preferences so that the only emails that filter into my inbox are from my boyfriend or the schools I applied to. Now I only get a heartattack a couple times a day, as opposed to 20 times a day. Baby steps!

Hi All -

Finally registered on the forum. Please add me to the roll call for R2. Invited to interview 1/21.

Thanks!

I was JUST about to update the thread with similar sentiments. Thank goodness the forum is relatively anonymous. I am much better at hiding my anxiety in real life.

[quote="Aenigma"]Dear Booth,

Thank you for sending me your latest edition of the "Admissions Insider" e-newsletter. It in no way exacerbated my recent onset of cardiac arrhythmia to see an e-mail from the admissions office and, if anything, I actually found the colorful image of the Winter Garden very soothing -- which is not to say I have been in any way agitated of late. Not at all. Despite occasional bouts of compulsive "refreshing" behaviors and a mildly disruptive forum addiction, I assure you I am an entirely sane and stable individual who is supremely well-suited to your program. Not that I'm thinking about your school on a second-to-second basis. Haha! No! I assure you I have much more interesting pursuits... please see my PowerPoint collage for reference. (You did get my PowerPoint, right?) In fact, the density of relaxing words such as "Interview" and "Admissions" and "the" in your e-mail enabled me to practically forget that I had even applied to your esteemed program and drift instead on fluffy daydream clouds of hanging out in the booth table of a restaurant, enjoying rosemary-seasoned roast with a glass of sparkling Martinelli's cider... this is in no way subliminal or associated with the "Liquidity Preference Function" I may or may not be conducting alone at my desk due to application-related stress... I could go on and on but I'm afraid my two-minute break from refreshing GMAT Club is over and I am nothing if not committed to my important work here. Please see my resume for further detail. (You did get my resume, right?)

Thanks again. I really look forward to the next edition!

Yours, body and soul (whatever you want, really),

Hahaha. Awesome. Based on this alone, I think you should get in... not that that means anything at all whatsoever. Hope you enter the next phase of waiting soon.

Got an interview invite! Is this interview blind if done on-campus? (do they have access to your application/essays or just your resume?)

Btw, I'd be willing to practice interviews via Skype/telephone for those in USA from 2/8 onwards (I'm out of town for work). PM if you're interested.

If this helps you... I am in Western Europe too and my app went complete on the same day (1/21) - still no invite. Not that this means anything ...

At this point, I am setting my mind on Plan B. Getting an invite from Booth between now and the 17th would only be a nice surprise.

By calling the admissions office and asking for Rose Martinelli. Kidding!

You should have received an email notification of the status change.

Nothing again today! Time to retire for the weekend and start the whole freaking out process again on Monday. UGH. There's still 7 business days, so other people out there, don't give up yet!

Received an invitation to interview today!
