Today is exactly 9 weeks following the 10/6/2010 deadline for Early Decision and there seems to be a lot of activity (albeit mostly dings) coming from adcom...I wonder if this is a sign

just means that in general the RD applicant profiles are more attractive in general compared to the 'bottom of the barrel' ED apps

Hi all, I was also ED, interview complete last wk, waiting for decisions....

I was asked by my current employer to head up a large project in our India office for 3 months. This is not a promotion but pretty large, impressive responsibility for me. Does something like this warrant a call to CBS with a career update? Please advise, I"m not sure but am desperate for anything to boost my app!!

Got the call today also! I'm an ED applicant.

Basic Stats: F / 25 / Asian American / 730 GMAT / 3.3 GPA / career is in trading

This board has kept me going for the last 3 months, even though I've been a lurker, so I just wanted to say thanks for everyone on here, and best of luck to everyone still in the process!!

Is there anyone on here who's done post-bach coursework to boost a low GPA and found that to matter to any of the adcoms anywhere? Just curious...

Hi,

I am a R1 applicant.

What is the meaning of "your application is under review.". How long may it take from here?

regards,
madzy

Yesterday was quite the busy day for results. Hopefully this is a sign that the adcoms are clearing out all the ED apps and we'll all find out one way or another soon!

I was just notified that I've been deferred from ED to the regular round :(

Is this better than a flat out denial or is everyone deferred? What do people do to help boost their apps for the regular round? I'm SO upset...

Not everyone is deferred. If you look up a few posts you'll see quite a few dings, so I would feel lucky :) That being said, I've heard being accepted after being deferred is quite difficult

Hey All,
Just did some "back of the napkin" calculations: the average GMAT for the admitted ED group as set forth in the spreadsheet on the first page is 730 (rounded from 729). Looks like this year may be especially tough...

Did you do a GPA calculation as well?
