afaik, there were a few people here in GC who learned their admits through the online application system on the official decision date- maybe we are one of those few this year! (hopes, darn hopes...)

same here- yet, as an international- having seen all those internationals getting calls so far- I think I'm quitting as well. So much for my ivy league endeavors... best of luck to those going for the rest of the rounds- Shalom...

Businessweek Article: volumes seem to be down this year at Cornell which is contrary to what Randal Sawyer said on the Accepted.com web chat a few days back. Idk what to believe...

B-School Applications: The boom in MBA applications, brought on by the economic crisis that began in 2008, slowed significantly in 2010. Of the top 30 full-time U.S. MBA programs surveyed in the summer, 10 reported declines in application volume averaging 6.1 percent. Among them were University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, which was down 9 percent; UC-Berkeley's Haas School of Business, down 11 percent; and Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management, down 12 percent. Although some schools reduced their application fees and saw an uptick in volume, they were the exception and not the rule. Schools with a global reach were buoyed by increased interest in MBA programs among international applicants. Still, many were left wondering if business school applications had peaked.

The article discussing application volumes is related to last year's volumes (a 2010 application is one submitted by an applicant who hopes to start in Fall 2010). I'm not suprised that app volumes are up as mentioned in the chat, that seems to be the case among most schools.

Yeah, that article says surveyed during the summer, but it kind of contradicts to what Johnson self-reported. They had a 22% volume increase from Class of '11 to '12. That would be insane if volume went up again this year. I mean, going by the numbers in the link below, the '12 class would have had a 17% acceptance rate, assuming the 275 class size with 60% yield held. And I don't think Johnson usually has such a low acceptance rate.

Sometimes they just update the website on the final day with admits and not call everyone. I never received the call but saw the update on website 3 years back.

That's true. Economy isn't adding jobs right now but the number of on campus jobs have soared as compared to what it was for the class of 09 and 10. The number of applications have risen too.

What is the status of your other applications? You might want to add more schools to the R2 list.
