Hey R1 applicants,
Do you guys know how long after you send your deposit (credit card number) by fax your credit card gets actually charged?
I plan to send my deposit, by fax, on the 21st :) and I am leaving for a vacation on the 24th so I want to make sure my credit card is charged before I leave so that I don't have to worry if they got everything ok :) (I tend to mess-up 1-page forms)
It took almost a week. I was a bit worried :) You can't open a login name to get to Kresge online library without a student login. So, I gave a call to the admissions office and in a day or two card was charged. They told me that it took long because all the people were dealing with R2 applications.

And, here is what the newspaper said about out struggling school :(

"Compounding the effect of a strike is the questionable financing used to pay for the building. The estimated $147 million cost was financed by a combination of investments in Bear Stearns' hedge funds (defunct), Citigroup stock (down almost 60%), CMOs (don't ask), and money from Stephen Ross. These questionable financing options were chosen for their tremendous upside (what are the chances a twice bankrupt used car salesman in Akron wouldn't make his monthly payments if his rate jumped from 1.25% to 12% overnight?)."

Really? That sucks big time. Actually Kimberli of the adcoms just wrote me the other day that it will be finished by October and ready to move in by Jan 09.

What are the sources of that info?
