i'm not sure what catch a case means

"case" = "criminal case"

It's just a slang way for me to say that I might get into trouble :wink:

Don't sweat school choices until you get your admit decisions, folks. The world works in funny ways, and the schools tend to end up deciding for you anyway.

I have a business plan.

My business will provide body freezing service, you will pay me x amount of money per day and I will freeze you till the day decision is rendered. The market looks to be pretty healthy, and is certainly recession proof!

Short-term cryonics institute of america!

Worrying about school choices now is like raising the bet to 5 times big blind in hold'em, with AK hole cards.
Yes most times one of them will hit a pair and you can rejoice, but 1 in three times you'll get busted with nothin on the table.
as a reapp this wait is even more agonizing and i just realized i learned nothing about dealing with this suspense, from my last app cycle.

My hunch is...if you don't hear in the first week of Adcom giving out decisions then it'll be a trickle after that. I mean kellogg says it'll give decisions all the way upto Jan 11 but I believe after a while the majority decisions will be dings.
Is there a supposed date after which usually all admits are dings? I mean surely if you havnt heard until Jan 4th/5th you're prolly ding or WL.
Gosh I'm crapping bricks !!

I just interviewed on Dec 4th on campus and my interviewer told me they were going to try to have all decisions out by the new year. But seeing as I just interviewed I expect to hear close to the final day. So I will officially start holding my breath in another week or so.

Oh and Im not on the roll call yet but count me in for Rd 1.

I interviewed Nov 23 on campus. Still waiting to hear. Seems like there's some correlation with interview dates. I was told the bulk of the notifying would come this week and next. Fingers crossed.
