So if anyone did not receive the call today, it means negative right? I saw that they will release all results at 9.00am 12/14, given that they will call all admitted... :(

Makes me wonder why they go through with all this drama. I got no work done today and now I will get no sleep tonight.

I got my call just before lunch on the west coast... I am so excited! I knew that if I got into Booth I was going... Is anyone else in the same boat and already decided on Booth?

Good luck to all those still waiting! This process is painful and arduous, but it is out of your hands at this point, so you just need to relax. Keep your tips up!

Cheers.

Is it just me or was the number of people getting calls exceptionally low today, especially from the Chicago area? Maybe a lot of people who got acceptances didn't bother posting on gmatclub? Does anyone who has looked at prior year's message boards more religiously than me know if any students who didn't get a call the previous day were admitted the following day, when formal notification takes place? I called the Admissions office at 4pm today and they said they weren't sure if calls were still being made, and obviously couldn't notify me of my status over the phone. I called again a few minutes ago and the office was closed (closes 5pm). I guess we'll all find out tomorrow, but I'm just anxious as I'm sure everyone who hasn't gotten a call is.

Grats to those already admitted!

Based on precedent, only a handful of offers carry over to the next day. These are of course the exception and seemingly result from logistics quirks.

As to speculating whether today's admit numbers are small with more expected tomorrow, I don't see how the Booth admins would NOT have made all of the calls today.

For Round 1, let's assume Booth aims to fill ~30% of its 525-person class (i.e . 150). Assuming the yield will be at least 70% (for R1), they'll need to make ~215 admit-offers. Given an 8-hour workday with no breaks, one admissions officer making all the calls would have to make ~27 calls/hour. But in reality, Booth has 10 associate admissions directors to spread the calls across.

Good point. However it seems like were still being made as late as 3:30pm CST. Given your logic, and assuming they began at 9:30pm, wouldn't they have been able to finish significantly quicker? I don't think these calls take more than 10 min max. It's all speculation at this point I suppose. Congrats to those who were admitted, and GL to everyone else.

Hi All,

I am an early career applicant at Chicago. I came across this page: https://www.chicagobooth.edu/fulltime/ad ... rkexp.aspx

Can someone please tell me how strict they are with the 3.3 GPA rule? I think I am ok with the rest of the criteria except my GPA which is nowhere near 3.3 (in electrical engineering). I have good leadership experiences, lots of initiative, ECs, 700+ GMAT and (hopefully) good references.

I believe the first deposit of $1000 is due on 3/20/12, and a subsequent $1000 is due sometime in April. Could be wrong about the dates. I remember reading this somewhere and now can't find it. Now if only I can get an admit :)

first of all congratulations to all the admits!

The girl I talked to yesterday told me I would receive an email with a bunch of information. I haven't receive anything yet. Did any of the admitted student received anything?
