I'm not giving up hope yet. I'm sure some people fall through the cracks and don't get personal calls, and there is still an hour left in the day. Fingers crossed!!

I like your positive attitude HealthCarePro

i agree with this. i didn't find out until i received an email around 11:30PM, 30 minutes before round 1 statuses were updated...

Wow MBAJam, so this means that they don't call every admitted candidate.. This sure is refreshing news.

Got the call at 10:26am EST - I'm in!! Submitted: 1-5-2011 Interview Invite: 1-26-2011 Interview: 2-24-2011 Admitted: 3-23-2011 See you in the fall!

i think mbajam's story is a slip through the cracks type thing, but im ALL FOR staying optimistic. You dont know until you get a wl/ding.

I just looked into how many on gc are admitted in R1 and R2. R2 count is more than R1 count. I am concluding that no more admit calls.

Got a miss call at my work phone..... i'm in.... finally~ Stared at my cell all morning and only to find out that i entered my cell number wrong on the application..... Guess i deserved the 5+ hours of agonizing wait. Anyway, congrats to fellow admits. I got dinged by almost all my other schools, and am extremely grateful that Darden is willing to give me a chance. Got that chip on my shoulder~ =D

I agree. Had the number been less, there was high probability that still calls are pending. It is already more. Realist in me says it is OVER. Optimist says there is HOPE, like adcom says even after deny - there is still hope in the from of Reapp.
