Any calls at all so far??

Haven't heard of any, and staring at my phone willing it to ring doesn't seem to be helping much. Guess they were pretty vague in last week's blog post for a reason...

Where's is Ronaldino going to play next year? Will Neymar ever grow up and be a world class player in the Brasil soccer system?[/quote]

Ronaldinho just announced he's going to Flamengo.
Neymar growing up? I don't think so...

True but 2 years ago it started on Monday. Anyone know if the application volume this year for RD1 was greater than last year or the year before last?

Comparing Super Saturday, last year there were around 70 people, this year 52...
Could we use this as a trenda and assume that RD 1 volume has decreased?

Perhaps. Someone previously said that the acceptance for those interviewed would be higher this year a few pages back on the forum. I am not sure on the basis of the claim though.

Before Friday's blog update I was putting my money on Wednesday based on what happened last year, but the specific mention of "early next week" makes me think there's a good chance it could be tomorrow... Guess we'll just have to wait and see.. In any event I hope all of us will be getting good news soon!!

I think that was based on a sampling of members on the roll call for round 1 vs the number of members who were interviewed. I'm not sure that's representative. That said, I think round 1 acceptance percentages are traditionally slightly higher than round 2 or 3. Let's hope so...

I'm guessing the calls will start on Tuesday around 10am EST based on the past 2 years and the slightly different wording in each of the blog posts.

Good luck everyone!

Any idea what the accepted/interviewed rate or interviewed/applied rate is? I've looked and haven't found these stats anywhere. It just seems like there were so many candidates interviewed in round 1. I think the interview may be the weak spot on my application, so I'm anxiously awaiting a phone call this week to calm my nerves.

Go here: https://www.businessweek.com/bschools/ra ... higan.html

I'm not sure how accurate the numbers are, or if there are differences between rounds, but 61% were interviewed in 2010 and 25% were accepted. That gives you about a 41% acceptance rate for interviewed candidates.
