I guess he meant 1hour and 12 minutes (ie. 9 am Chicago time)

Hi rhyme, right now you seem like an angel man- helping us have hope! Thanks.

You may want to kill me in about 12 minutes. It looks like I might be mistaken.

You mean "No additional call for today"???? T_T

Male Indian. Got the call yesterday. For guys who get waitlisted today, there is still hope. From what i hear from former collegues who are now at Booth, quite a few people got off the waitlist last year.... especially those who were waitlisted in R1.

Yea sorry, I'm not used to being on EST time yet

I meant 1 hour 12 minutes.

Just for some clarity, here's where I was coming from.

Historically calls have gone out over two days - in fact, I can't remember a year this wasn't the case. As such, its strange that the calls didn't begin on the 13th this year. Also, decisions have historically gone out at 9am on the decision date (WL or ding). I suppose its possible that this also changed this year, but I have no reason to think so.
Basically, the real question is just whether or not the decisions get released at 9am today or if that timing has changed this year.

What is Chicago's waitlist like anyway? Do they offer any specific feedback on areas of improvement? Or is it a shot in the dark?

For what it's worth, I still haven't had a chance to speak with the adcom because of my situation and they told me via email that if we didn't talk on the phone I'd get exact details at 9am today.

Well if the decisions are slotted for 9am then I think I was lead astray by the one adcom, I would expect WL/dings to come then.

Sadly this has since been recanted. I am almost certain at this point that I was mistaken and no calls will be happening.

Is there a chance to be admitted without the phone call? I guess I'll find out in 20 minutes. Wow this hurts...

Just got another email from a different adcom effectively confirming not to expect calls today.
