any intls out here? i'm in asia and i keep hoping i would get a call in the middle of the night...

Yup! I got my call at 10pm my time (10am EST). The Adcom guy who called me was surprised to hear I was still at work, but then laughed when he remembered I was in IB lol. They do take into account your local time as much as possible from what I gather.

Currently out in Asia, as well.

Oh, and I applied for the Finance concentration. I think this also a factor, since the committee is broken up into teams by concentration. So, if a lot of people apply for Finance last minute (more than the other concentrations), it could take longer for people who applied for Finance because there are less resources, while someone in, lets say, Marketing could go through the beginning process (review / initial interview invite) sooner. Not 100% sure, but could be the case.

Thanks for sharing americanInAsia - does anyone have empirical evidence to prove that this may be the case?... that the adcom is broken into concentrations? If so, this is new news to me.

I'll jump into the mix here. I've been following this thread for a few weeks now, and now that I'm getting anxious I figure I could use the emotional support of you other ED'ers!

Submitted the night of Oct 5th. Have been "under review" since the 10th.

Goodluck everyone!!!

What is this "call" everyone is talking about? What do they ask? What is the purpose? Phone interview screen?

The call to let people know that their status is changing to "final decision rendered" and that they are being accepted in to the CBS '14 class.

People who haven gotten rejected, deferred or WL have gotten emails.

There are 2 types of calls going out...

They will call you to welcome you to the class (i.e. you're accepted) or they will randomly call you to perform an informal interview (e.g. "what are your goals?" "why CBS?")

I think that the majority of admits on here have only received the admit call...but if you go back a few pages you'll see that applicants have been called for other reasons prior to their status going complete.
