Is it just me or are there not very many acceptances/calls out there yet? Perhaps wishful thinking

GC is only a small % of the total number of people though. Especially international folks (which is where it seems like they're focusing right now).

Did they say they were calling from admissions, or could it be a wrong # that is not related to admissions?

i asked. they refused to tell me who they were and just kept asking for neil. so yeah while it is possible it was a wrong # not related to admissions, the likelihood to me seems very low, given that i never get wrong #'s and that both schools are calling people today. it would be way too much of a coincidence.

In! got the call about 20 mins ago, east coast. good luck everyone and hang in there- this is a horrible process. To all of you who are thinking about giving up hope, I was there about 2 hours ago, but I couldn't be happier right now.

It is most likely a coincidence, there are many more fat fingers calling from Chicago that are unrelated to B/K than are.

Got a call from Admissions but missed it. Hopefully it wasn't a misdial! Did anyone get scholarship/financial aid information on the call?

EDIT: Got off the phone with Admissions - in with a scholarship!

In chat and in this thread people are getting scholarship details with the call. You will get details tomorrow when they send out admission results.

You mentioned it was a 773 area code. That would be Chicago Booth. Kellogg (I think) is 847 area code.

If it's like the last 2 years, almost all calls will happen today. That said, for some rounds they kept going well into the evening. Sorry I can't offer anything else in the way of stress relief.
