Heres Soojin's Oct 2010 blog post (
https://rossblogs.typepad.com/admissions ... index.html) where she mentioned an increase in apps across all regions - "We received applications from candidates from over 40 countries and were pleased to see an increase in applications from every region of the world. At this point, it's hard to know where total applications will end up. Regardless of the volume, we're looking to build an incoming class of about 490 students."
My rationale for the calls starting tomorrow morning:
Her Jan 2011 blog post about the calls, [The plan is to start them early next week. (I can't promise whether "early" means Monday or Tuesday)] mentions either Monday or Tuesday and since its already Monday late afternoon ET, Tuesday looks like the winner. Based on the threads from the previous years, calls started around 10-11am ET so my money is still on tomorrow Tuesday late morning. (we're playing with Monopoly money, right?)
So, in conclusion, I have (secretly) boycotted work until I either get a call or get rejected on Friday.
