Just got the call. I am in for the Accelerated program with a decent scholarship to boot. They offered me $45K for tuition!

Thats one of those take and run unless you get into HBS type deals.

Well, yes. This offers definitely makes me rethink my perceived options. I didn't apply to H or S and was planning to apply to Wharton in R2. Right now, I am waiting to hear from Kellogg & Tuck since Ross doesn't like me (no interview yet).

got the expected ding. it's ok, since i didn't really want to go there and i guess it's a wake up call for my r2 app.

They didn't even email me, jeesh. haven't since that stupid email about reading their student blogs.

abhishek: Not sure if I have a scholarship, there does not appear to be anything about that on the website. All they let you know is if you have an offer and they provide a link to a website and forum for admitted students. They also mention that a package is in the mail but make no mention of a phone call like others have recieved. I wonder if they only call those with significant scholarships offers?
