Oh sorry... didn't mean to lead you in any direction, I'm merely speculating. Don't most adcoms release decisions on Friday's on Monday's? Plus since the deposit deadline was only last Friday (20th), I would think that they'll take the next few days to re-assess their waitlist before making any decisions.

Haven't heard anything. Hopefully some movement in the next two weeks, but last year calls didn't start coming until mid-June, according to the old thread.

Quoting the email from admission (my emphasis):

"At the end of May, you will be assigned to an admissions counselor who will help you navigate the admissions process during the summer months when our review of waitlisted applicants is less predictable."

Fairly ambiguous, but I'm guessing by June 1 they won't mind if we all start calling ;)

I was intrigued by that statement myself. I wonder whether they mean that literally? If yes, then thats quite awesome... we'll be able to get some feedback on our applications!

They have been very enfatic about not giving feedback on applications.
Waiting +waiting +waiting+more waiting and trying to sit tight...

Me too! I'm eagerly awaiting an email telling me that I've been assigned to an admissions committee member who is going to give me a list of things that I need to sort out before I can be admitted :-D

I want to travel abroad over the summer, hopefully starting real soon. Although, I would like to finish the Kroll stuff first, in case it needs my attention to get more information for the background check. I am not comfortable leaving because getting needed information from abroad might be a hassle.

Has anyone heard about the Kroll yet?

Does the deafening silence mean that the R3 yield was high? Or are the AdCom people just taking their time, waiting until the deadlines of the other top 10 schools' deposits pass?

This whole thing is brutal. At least my phone is going to get a break from me checking it every five minutes this weekend...
