Just got the call from Derrick! In complete shock, especially after having been dinged by Kellogg earlier this week. I'm based in Boston - sounds like he's pulling an all-nighter going by time zone to make the calls. Call was from 650 area code.

Is there a disadvantage to applying R2 vs. R1? I've heard different opinions on this, but still not sure if I should try and make R1 or submit in R2 with my other apps. Any thoughts?

we can make conjectures about differences in R1 (more "prepared/organized candidates, etc" v R2 ("more competitive candidates, etc") but these factors probably vary considerably from year to year and there is absolutely nothing you can do to control competition or admissions. so my take is this - control yourself. with the exception of R3 (very limited seating left), you should submit in the round where you personally think your application is the strongest. i originally intended on preparing a R1 submission, but I did not feel my candidacy was at its absolute best and so i made some adjustments and deferred to R2.

so far i have only seen one plus of being admitted to the gsb earlier - you have a slightly higher probability of getting housed in schwab (the all grad business housing building on campus) since they dont prorate availability by round. but thats certainly not worth a premature push for R1.

Alright Quantjock- I've got the ringtone set up this time around- wish me (and all of us) luck today! 8-)

I hope your winter quarter is going well

Congrats to all those who've already gotten the call! :-D
