I would say not even close. I've never seen a forvm wound so tightly. The case competition is going to feel like a visit to the spa comparatively.

Well, I guess they will not be calling anyone this week. Do not see any point calling on Friday and then making others wait for the weekend.. I am now only going to wait for official celebration notice.. :)
I wish what I saw accidently was not a prank ;)

I know. I am totally teasing. I should really refrain from posting personal sort of posts because this is not for that, but it’s hard when you're camped out on the forum not to chat it up. I actually plan to create a race team out of the automotive club so that should be entertaining. Corral a bunch of type A folks into not thinking so much and feeling a racecar. I will make them into racecar drivers it’s type A’s are my worst students for this so god help me.

The forum is for discussion. And, if it was not for the gc, I wudn have come across this situation, leading me to create a login and find a 'preliminary decision'. So, all I did is contribute to the authenticity of the discussion and in fact, I called the adcom and shared the info with other gc members. I am also more than aware that technical faults are not a rare phenomenon (check this link for a good but scary example - https://www.engadget.com/2011/02/27/gmai ... ondence-v/). It is really not a cool thing for someone to find out that they are admitted only to be hold back for a while or may be (I hope not) denied later on. No one is hurting any instituition's reputation by clearing the doubts..

I hope for you Ross finds your feeble explanations convincing. I cannot see how Gmail glitch correlates with irresponsibly causing a massive scare on the most popular B-School forum, visited by thousands of current and potential Ross applicants.

Do you really think that presenting such an esteemed institution in a such an unprofessional light - as if they were not able to protect their informational assets - would pass without notice?!

You are dealing here with multi-million dollar, very powerful establishment. Ross monitors this site closely, and they will trace you down, rest assured.

If I were you, I would come clean and tell them the truth. Send them a letter immediately and apologize before it's too late. There is more at stake than just your application: you will face criminal charges and a huge civil suit.

Both plzplzplz and Yelsina should calm down. If you guys wanna take shots at each other, do it somewhere else. Obviously everyone's stressed out about the decision date. If you guys want to let out frustrations, do it in the anxiety thread.

I'm not sure how posting about what he saw, especially since Ross admittedly validated and owned up to their mistake, is hurting the prestige of the institution or would ignite any cause for investigation. The harassing tone and inappropriate images are not appreciated. Let's all try to work on that collaborative culture we talked about in our essays

She was just fooling around. Not that I enjoy it. It ceased being funny a long time ago and at this point is just for her/his personal sadistic satisfaction, not any of the other members here

I completely agree. The guy who reported the glitch was merely presenting a fact that would not have gone unnoticed in any case. If not him, someone else would have reported the same...So let's not make any individual a scapegoat here. And let's all wait this out like mature professionals that we all are.

In any case, lemme reiterate what was said earlier: harassing tone and inappropriate images are not appreciated. Really.

Thank you for showing appreciation for my selfless efforts to entertain this, ahem... tight community.

I'll act as a mature person I am, and send a prayer :pray : Oh, Almighty Gods of Ross! Please, forgive us, sinners, for all that went here in the past few days! We have suffered enough! Don't delay the calls anymore, soothe our tortured souls as you clearly intended to do before this awful mess started! If you continue, you may find no one to congratulate next week :shocked

Meanwhile, go look what's going on on Haas thread. We might end up missing this wait.
