Every time I see or hear "y'all" I tend to think about Cleveland from Family Guy for some reason... but josiebella sounds like a girl.

Being interviewed early means 1. application ended up on top of the pile 2. application ended up in the hands of more diligent adcoms. Adcom remembered a few details from my "essay 3." They probably found it interesting.

That's funny, I think exactly the same thing when I see y'all. In fact, I frequently use it in emails to friends for that reason, and I'm decidedly not a southerner!

I agree with your comments on early interviews.

just got an email - invited to interview! I submitted my app on 11-14. and got the email at 11:30 EST this morning. I'm in NYC, so hopefully can get over there pretty quickly. Good luck to y'all! (fellow southerner turned yankee)

Congrats!

I would expect Family Guy and World Series of Poker coverage are both pretty popular, lol. Just my 2 cents.

Lol, I guess I am the only one that can't stand ESPN's coverage of the WSOP.

My two cents, best shows on TV this year have been the Walking Dead, Community, and Modern Family.

Mad Men is supposed to be extremely good. I hear Breaking Bad is good, too. My favorite show of all time is The Wire.

i received an interview invite at 11:17am (est) today - with an option to attend the spotlight on stern women event consisting of an interview, round table discussions, a cocktail reception, a beer blast with current students, and then the annual stern women in business conference the following day. or i can schedule a regular interview...

the event isn't until february and it says there is no penalty for choosing either option. not sure what i am going to do yet but wanted to let everyone know.

female/nyc/710 gmat/3.5 gpa - i went to stern undergrad. not sure if that makes any difference.

i have the wire boxset but haven't opened it yet. i need to get back surgery in a few months and that'll put me out for 2 weeks or so, but i'm looking forward to it. (the wire, not the surgery obviously)

I wholeheartedly agree - the wire is one of the best shows ever, I borrowed it on dvd from a friend and watched the whole series (about 60 hours) in two months. Definitely time well spent when I should have been writing my Stern essays!

Congratulations! I'm sure as long as you are prepared to talk about yourself, everything will work out.

And I can't believe no one has mentioned Dexter yet. Here's a great video of Dexter's Hall's talents - https://celebs.gather.com/viewArticle.ac ... 4978771790

Good luck, (y')all!
