but, to make everyone feel better ...

there is 5 days, 13 hours and 13 minutes to 8AM on Monday (when calls should start)

sooo technically we have about 5 more days of hard core 'just waiting'

after that its just mental torture of prisoners of war..the clock ticking away without a call....

I hope my misery will end before the deadline.. with a call from an unknown number..

On a side note..before my Kellogg ding, i religiously listened to every one of my voice mails.. which i never used to do..

well 'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work... so these extra few days of waiting is going to seem like a year.

and didn't they say they interview till the end? probably the calls go to people who they know for sure are going to get in. so don't worry, it ain't over until you get an official response.

If I remember correctly, I don't think they call the internationals. They send 'em an e-mail.
Sidenote: I think the calls will go out from Wednesday, not Monday.
Sidenote-2: The Ross application doesn't have a place where you can check status right? Or am I missing something....

I remember that some int'l applicants from R1 has mentioned that they received a call. Anyway it doesnt matter whereas it is a call or e-mail when it is a good news.

I also think that the calls will begin to come out from Wednesday.

Ross does call some internationals. They called me in Canada. On D-Day, you will be able to view the decision online. You'll have a message waiting.

Canada maybe a little "less interntional" to call. Pricewise, time-zone wise, proximity wise etc...

:) oh come on ... you think Ross is that stingy? :)

I want a call !!! and I want my call on Monday the 10th !!! :)

ps. I think some Russians got called in R1, so maybe they call europeans also since it is not that expensive to call the good old Europe :)

Ditto. That's why I'm trying to keep myself as occupied as possible.

Just another experience - i'm an int'l accepted in R1 and while sitting in front of my office and cell phones obsessively waiting for a call, I got an email saying they tried to reach me on the phone - which I know they didn't bc i was staring at them both :) I think this was at the very end of the 'calling' period too, fwiw.

GL with the wait - the last few days were the worst!!

Last weekend I was a tour guide for a friend of me who come to visit me from abroad. During the tour that I gave him we discovered one new church that really looked gorgeous inside. I am not very religious... but that is a pic that I took of the church :)

@manylander: oooups I gave you a hint now, all you have to do is to discover which church is the pic on my avatar from and you will know where I am from... and I won't be misterious any more :(
