Got the call (actually missed it, but called back) and got the acceptance! To answer some of the questions I saw...interviewed mid-Feb, he said he'd be making calls until March 28th, definitely not alphabetical (middle to end initials), and username/password on admitted site worked. Good luck all!

For people who got calls, did people get an email afterwards? And did the username and password given over the phone work on the admitted student site?

Yes and yes, though the email said not to try til the next day (today, in my case).

Yes- I got an email but the username and password isn't working for me. I'm going to wait 24 hrs and try again before bugging them about it.

Yes, but you need to use a non-alphanumeric character in your new password for the system to accept it. For example "~".

Also got the admit call around 3:30pm EST today - super excited

I applied part I in round 1, interview and part II in round 2. I got the email a few minutes after the call and they told me that the system won't show the update for another 24 hours. Good luck to all those waiting!!

Dinged for the 2nd year in a row. Always seem to get the ding the day after they start releasing decisions.

Not sure what's up with my application considering I spent $5k on stacy blackman.

Here are my stats:
Interviewed with alumni in late January
M/US (Indian descent)/730/3.75/5 yrs work experience Capital management in IB at JPM

Only did Haas and Kellogg through SB. I thought the apps turned out great but apparently Kellogg didn't think so. I am waiting to hear from Haas. My consultant was a Haas grad so maybe that app turned out better.

Thinking about applying last round to Chicago.

One other thing - at the end of the alumni interview I asked for feedback and the guy goes "I'm not supposed to say buuuuut I think this conversation went well and I have no problem writing you a recommendation"

This is what too much free time will yield. To those interested, this is the break down of the decisions from R1. Who knows if R2 will follow a similar pattern but it's kinda interesting to look at. Results were spread out over 7 days with the majority of activity for admits and denials during days 3/4/5.

Release Day_____ Admits____Denials____Waitlists
_____1____________19.4%______0.0%________0.0%
_____2____________14.5%______1.9%________0.0%
_____3____________29.0%_____18.9%________0.0%
_____4____________27.4%_____39.6%________0.0%
_____5_____________6.5%_____22.6%________0.0%

Very useful data!

I guess, since the calls started 10 days before deadline, the calls’ distribution would be flatter.
