I remember when applying to undergrad schools that I was encouraged to apply to a rolling admissions safety school early on. That way I'd be admitted somewhere and the mental anguish of applying to my target schools might be limited. I am not sure how effective that strategy was... But I definitely wish I had an acceptance under my belt... Tomorrow is a big day...

Anyone who's been through the process have an idea of the timeline that calls are made? Something like 9AM to 4PM CST?


As previously stated, 9am to 4pm Central Time, maybe a little later. Calls come from 773 area codes. In general internationals get their calls earliest and then the adcoms gradually work their way west. Though if you're on the east coast don't start worrying if you haven't heard anything by lunchtime (unless you're weird and eat lunch after 4pm CST). I got my admission call in NYC at 2PM central time in R1. I believe they generally disclose any scholarship awards on the calls.

Best of luck to everyone. I hope you get way more sleep than I did the night before R1 calls went out.

Best advice I received concerning tomorrow: Don't check out gmatclub as you will drive yourself nuts when you see who else gets admitted while you're still waiting. Not sure if I will stick to that advice ^^

Best of luck to all of us!!!

It's an impossible advise to follow for me. I have been checking gmatclub everyday since last September, no way I can stop now.

I will not follow this advice. May not be the best for my mental state but this is the life I choose.

And if anyone does intend to follow this advice for tomorrow, they might be better off unsubscribing from this thread temporarily, because the the new reply notification emails would probably make them nervous enough.

Chicago Booth is tied with Stanford GSB (at the #2 spot) according to the 2017 US News Best Business Schools ranking.

LOL, I was having some issues with my work phone. So I called my gf to check if my phone was working. She got really excited because she thought I was calling to tell her DA GOOD NEWS.
Only 8 more painful hours to go :|

Aren't decisions released on the 17th, not the 16th?

they call people who get in the day before, and post official decisions online on the day they say they release decisions. So essentially if you don't get a call on the 16th, you've been either WL or dinged

Somehow I drag myself through the first half and make it to lunch break. Dad calls up ( he lives in a different city) to wish me luck. Friends keep asking how I feel. Like- duh, I am nervous..........I wish I could skip time !

Hopefully someone can answer this. I am an international applicant but currently based in Los Angeles. The phone number I gave on file is the US one. Would they call me with the international people or I will have to wait with the US applicants? A few hours to go....best of luck to all of us.
