Not to fuel any fires here, hopefully to the contrary, but...

Can you imagine the historic application conditions that the Johnson school would have had to receive if this radio silence across BW and GMAT Club really does represent dings? It could only mean a handful of scenarios:

1) Round 1 was amazing for them and they got 90% of what they wanted from it (doubtful given that we see the fairly average numbers accepted and rejected)

2) Round 2 was dismally small and of average strength while their incoming round 3 apps are voluminous and exceptional, landing all of us on the waitlist or worse.

3) Round 2 was so massive that BW and GMAT Club only cover an insignificant fraction of the applicant pool. The 3 admits we have gotten wind of are the whole lot of applicants to be accepted that post between the 2 forums.

All three of these scenarios seem outlandish to me, which gives me hope.

Now for some even more outlandish theories...

1) Randall has decided to take the day off and polish off his mounting stock of Guinness.
2) The entire admissions staff has been overrun and devoured by feral cats.
3) Chippendale's has acquired rights to the operations and trademarks of Cornell's graduate school of business. They plan to leverage the Johnson name to attract world class male dancer's to their employ. It will henceforth be known as "The School for Johnsons".

I think I've lost it....

I have a bad feeling that are going to be like 30% waitlists and 70% dings tomorrow. It is very likely that the R3 applicant pool is large. So the adcom might take in a few waitlists from R2.

But if that is the case, then i ll be disappointed. After all then there is no point of having a November R2 round. The adcom might very well use a Oct R1 and Jan R2 round. What is the point of having an earlier Round but you still want to take a "good look" at the subsequent round before making the admits.

Anyways, this is all speculation. The adcom knows what they are doing and they do intend the admit the best class possible. Personally, I learnt a lot from my R1 failures and have put in stronger apps in R2 (jan) apps. If cornell's R2 had been jan, i feel it might have been better for me on a personal note.

No, I am just naturally poetic :-D

I wish SOMEONE posts "I just received a call and I am IN!~~~". The silence here is deafening.

Congrats! Are you in the US?

Unfortunately, I think this is a negative sign for the rest of us...

Good news, everyone! I just talked to Ann Richards from the AdComm, and she said that they're very behind. She said to tell you guys that they still have a lot of calls to make.

I just got admitted and I'm on the West Coast.
