I think it should be a surprise for all the admits.
Telling that would definitely spoil the fun for you all.

Good luck.

It'll come later, and you've got to stop typing shorthand like that. It's going to give me a seizure.

I'm in - received the call earlier this afternoon. It's going to be a tough decision between Fuqua and Darden considering I'll be at Duke's admit weekend the next couple days and I'll have to decide before having a chance to do Darden Days.

Whoever called me (I can't remember her name ... too excited) said that we'll get the admit packets with scholarship info next week via FedEx, so maybe that will change things ...

-- Congrats to the rest of the R2 admits --

Yeah hopefully they're still calling...down to two waitlists for me and pending darden. I'm hoping they haven't figured out how to call me in Argentina...has anyone who missed the call received an email?

I'm down to the Chicago waitlist if Darden doesn't happen. I know how you feel.

I'm still waiting as well. Not sure what to expect as I didn't interview until this past Monday. Seems like a pretty fast turn around to have my decision ready.

I'm about to go to the airport to catch a flight. Not sure if that'll distract me enough or make things worse.

Can't promise this will work, but you should try calling Duke and asking for a few extra days (or a couple of weeks - however long you need). I had to ask a school for more time because of a very similar situation (wouldn't have had a chance to see one school in person until after the other school's deposit deadline), and since I only asked for a couple of weeks, they were happy to grant it. If they can be flexible, they will. Remember, now that you've been admitted, the tables have turned - you're the buyer and they are are the seller.

Congratulations!
