Goodluck everyone, hopefully we hear soon.

I'd say we're all in bad shape  If we're being realistic, there are but a handful of adcom members and a bunch of people that they will, in theory, have to call. Let's all just take a few deep breaths and try to resist the urge to jump off the ledge if it takes a few days to hear anything

Anyone called the adcom/current students to see what we should expect. Looks like no calls today.

Seems you're right. I really don't know how I'm going to handle four more days of this.

Guys, I was waitlisted last year and chose to waive interview this year. As the decision day is approaching, I am really starting to fidget... Last year, adcom called some US applicants before the decision date and the international calls are evenly distributed amongst the week after the decision date. So I speculate the pattern will probably be the same this year.

"The week after the decision date"??? so the international applicants found out they were accepted by mail? or only on the decision date itself online?

So... you mean I can stare at the the phone/ at my inbox all week, read all the posts here about happy accepted applicants, be sure that I was dinged and then just hear from them next Monday? or even worse- read that I was accepted on Kellogg's website? That's cruel....

nyukellogg2015 wrote: So I know calls haven't started yet, but once they do, does anyone know if they call each and every admitted student? I.e. is not getting a call a death blow? An effort is made to call every admitted student. This is possible because current students make some calls as well. If time zone differences make it difficult to call then an email is sent out. The decision roll-out may change this year because we have a new admissions director. I hope it's earlier than later.
