There were quite a few admits on GC last week, I actually lost track -- I didn't know it was upwards of 50 though... wow. I'm with you though -- we'll definitely see a lot more decision volume this week (both good and bad). Of course I'm hoping: # of good > # of bad.

I just checked my status. No updates ..

The weekend ends and the anxiety starts.........

If I remember the last year's thread accurately then today and tomorrow should be the last two real days of activity for this round..what on earth can be more nerve wrecking than that for an applicant

Thanks Hessegebbabel, You're right I should choose "other". On my resume I can just put "Master's degree" since that's what's stated on my diploma. For those who did a study abroad semester what did you choose? I did one in Germany and I was thinking of just leaving it blank, or should I choose other too?

Just checked my status. Ding.. No email... Anyways, I kinda see it coming, cannot say I'm too surprised or depressed. Good luck to you all!

Dinged by Kellogg. Checked my status just now. Got an interview waiver initially. Never got an invite. So Kinda expecting it.

Same here..a ding without an email. I could feel it coming, my interview did not go spectacular. Just a case of not being made for each other - Kellogg and I. Best of luck to everyone else!

Ding as well via status page. Not shocked either but I have to say I'm plenty scared over having Stanford left as a safety. Congrats to everyone else though!
