So have you all started thinking about what you're gonna say if/when you see that 734 area code calling your cell phone? Gonna play it low-key or are you gonna blabber thank yous incoherently even before they say a word and make the adcom member calling second guess the admit?

The same way a doctor feels bad when he's the bearer of bad news, the adcom must feel pretty good when they hear excitement on the other end of the phone. I think I made the adcom laugh on my first acceptance with my incessant "thank youing". And mind you this was for a school I wasn't ecstatic about attending. I did it more so to make him feel good lol

Exceprt from WSJ about the Erb institute

Pretty quiet on the Ross thread. I guess everyone is just sitting tight until maybe Wednesday?? Is that a fair guess? A call from 734 on Monday wouldn't be too bad, just wishful thinking.

That's what I'm doing. I'm guessing admissions is probably in the process of wrapping up decisions at this point.

I'm having trouble recalling what phone number I provided to adcom (definitely didn't give my cell b/c I never use it; must have given either work or home). If they call my house and don't get me, would they give my wife the news? If they call work and get voicemail, would they leave a message? I've read that some people clear their work calendars on days they're expecting these types of calls in order to hover over their phone all day, but I don't think I prefer to torture myself in such a manner.
