Yep - it's like lacrosse on bumper cars - while drunk. Another suggestion for a get-together: people may remember me wanting to start a GMAT Club indoor karting league team (probably not), but there's always http://www.chicagoindoorracing.com. It's a bit of a drive outside the city, but it's guaranteed good times.

Depending on when this is the Michigan armada could possibly sail into town as well. I don't think its a long trip. We'll all sleep on Riverripper's floor.

Lets do this... If you are interested, please PM me: Your First Name Your Email Your Phone # I will coordinate. PLEASE PM ME THIS NOW, WHILE YOU ARE STILL ACTIVE ON GMATCLUB!!I honestly believe we can have a great intra-school network next year, but people have to step up now and share this information while we can still get a hold of each other. Come August you will all be so busy, odds are a good portion of you will not be back on gmatclub. Sad, but true. Thats no reason however not to take advantage of this opportunity -- whether you are going to Kellogg or Chicago: its a great chance to establish a network of peers before you start school which will help you refine your career goals, quickly identify good study partners and start school with a major leg up on those without a similar support network. Ross people or anyone else in the area (Depaul, etc) by all means, sign up!! So please, I implore you, send me this information and lets get together. Or alternatively, just sign up for a google group and we can coordinate that way. http://groups.google.com/group/chicagolandgmatclub

I agree that the neighbors (Ross) should be part of the meetup. I added that in the first post. Prasad, can you please add the Wolverines list in the first post.

I am moving in at the beginning of August...so the beginning of the month would be a bad time as would the end of the month since thats KWEST.

You are more than welcome to join - I just assumed that realistically Ross was a bit too far for you guys to be interested in coming in for a gmatclub get together, but by all means, go ahead and sign up

Heck even by train its only 4.5 hours. That's only slightly longer than it takes for me to visit my home town. On a bad traffic Friday it takes about 7 hours.

Well, today it's 85% Chicago, 15% Wharton (if I get off the waitlist)  I think August, 23-24 would be a perfect time. Nick

Nick For us at Kellogg things start going for KWEST on August 22nd (we leave for KWEST on the 23rd). I would suggest the week of August 18th. Thats probably a good week, chicago random walk dates match up: Q: When are the trip dates? A: All trips depart on either Saturday August 23, 2008 or Sunday August 24, 2008 and will return on either Saturday August 30, 2008 or Sunday August 31, 2008. A few trips will return on Monday September 1 2008, which is Labor Day. I would agree the week of the 18th makes sense.

I am in this group too. Like Nick, I am 85% Chicago and 15% Kellogg. Either way, I will be in Chicagoland!!! I hope I will be back in the US by Aug 18th and make this meetup.

good initiative how about August 31st? since September 1st is labor day ... we will all have a long weekend before school starts. I also checked the Amtrak schedule for us Rossies and the following seemed the most convenient: AA - Chi 12:56 PM - 4:41PM (Sunday) Chi - AA 12:15 PM - 5:47 PM (Monday) There are 3 trains per day between AA and Chicago ... so I think it would be totally doable for us to come to the meeting.
