I'm not 100% sure. I know she had been waitlisted with an interview and I believe she sent in at least one additional recommendation.

They are probably trying to guage her interest and availability in attending to protect their yield. Would she definitely go?

Yes she would. Let's hope she hadn't made that clear in her previous updates and that is why they were calling!

I am not aware of any resources that provide that information.

edit: ^while the information is still coming in, anyway. I guess the GMAT club stats would be the best indicator.

Still no movement on the waitlist? I thought that today was supposed to be the big day. Crickets. I guess AppAdventure's friend said this week in general though. sigh!

It looks like this week might be another week of constantly checking the forums, staring at the phone and refreshing the inbox =p

I spoke to admissions at the end of the week of May 5 and was told it's probably going to be another 2-3 weeks. So according to that we might expect movement at the end of this week at the earliest, probably more likely the end of next week. Stay sane, everyone!

Are you still considering MIT? It says you are matriculating at Yale. Curious as to your decision to attend Yale over Booth.

Yeah, still considering MIT but as of now matriculating at Yale. I'm going Yale over Booth because I want to do social impact/international development consulting and would rather be on the East Coast than the Midwest. I also like where Yale's program is going in general and got a better vibe from their students.

I just got the call from Becca Honahan; in! Feeling so excited and blessed. I hope to see many of you on campus in the fall. She called me last Friday to ask how sure I was about attending. I have goosebumps!
