Sorry but I am confuse
435 Admits..If the class is supposed to be 395 and let say they have 80% yield.....then why keeping a waitlist? Is it in case there is a new 'swine flue' like epidemy

hola everyone,

i just wanted everyone to know, for the benefit of the forum, that I emailed LBS in regards to the May 14th review. I wasn't sure if we would hear on the 14th of the results (meaning those who got off the waitlist would hear on the 14th) or if they were just doing the review on the 14th and we would hear of the results on a later date.

i'll let everyone know what response i hear.

Contingency plan is Darden. I went to the admit weekend last weekend. It was pretty darn nice and I gotta say, with the costs of going to LBS vs Darden, even if I get in LBS, Darden won't be something to scoff at.

Darden's a great program... unfortunately i'm unable to squeeze in that application for 2012... maybe next year, 2013.

thanks lakai - waiting for your response.

All,

I called LBS today and asked the question I emailed them about (are we going to hear anything on Friday?)

The answer is Yes we will. Everyone will receive a response of either Congrats your off the list and admitted, Sorry but you're still on the list, and Sucks to be you, you're Rejected.

To me, this is actually very good news. I hate being on this list and I'm really looking forward to receiving some closure on Friday. If I don't make the cut, them I'm taking myself off the list.

Good luck to everyone here wearing away our nails waiting for LBS.

thanks Bsd_lover for the reality check.

do you have any idea when the Reservation Fee is due? At least this way we have another date to look forward to.

2 more days to go. Has LBS indicated the amounts for the Commitment Fee and Reservation Fee? Last year, the Commitment Fee was GBP 1500.

well, no movement for me either. Am still on the waitlist. WTF? The wait is annoying... I wish they would say yes or no sooner, just so I can get on with my plans.

Lakai: chances are pretty high that I will be joining you in Darden at this rate, although I am not taking myself out of the list just yet.

Good luck to us all!
