Hi all,

Does anyone know what time the decisions will be posted on the portal?

Also, I’m based in the East Coast but am traveling in Asia this week. Should I tell admissions in case (fingers crossed) they need to call me?

Posted from my mobile device

I would let them know. I received an email the day after my interview from adcom saying that I should let them know if I have any travel planned. Good luck!

Anxiously waiting for results day now... I'm sure so many of you are in the same shoes, fingers crossed for all.

A few questions:

1. Do they start calling the day before (ie 27th March) or could it be sooner?
2. Do only accepted candidates get a call?
3. What hours do they call during / is there a set time they'll update the portal for everyone? I am in GMT, just wondering whether I need to be staying up late watching my phone...

Posted from my mobile device

1. I know about the day before and the actual day of the results, haven’t heard about any calls prior to that
2. Yes, only the accepted ones
3. I think they send out an email asking you to update your location so that they know when to give you a call

I also received the email asking me to update my location and contact information if I travel the week following 28th Mar (implying that we can be called anytime in that period).

I believe everybody interviewed asked this question.

Someone on clearadmit said that calls may start tomorrow, as that is the same timeline as previous cycles.

I applied to both programs, the MBA and the MSx, was rejected from the MBA and interviewed for the MSx. At the beginning of my interview, my interviewer said that decisions would be released on the 26th, when I tried to correct her (saying that the date was the 28th) she insisted with the 26th...I don’t know if that means anything….

Did anyone else not get an email after their interview? I am seeing that some people got something clarifying steps to take if they are traveling this week, but I never got any such email. Should I be concerned?

I wouldn’t worry about it. It was probably just an oversight if you didn’t receive one.

Posted from my mobile device

Good luck, everyone! It's now past 9 am PST, so they may start calling some people, per comments earlier in this thread. So nervous.

Any R1 waitlist people get calls yet?

If you don’t pick up your phone, do they leave a voicemail? Is it always a 650 area code number?

Hi!

I applied in round 3 and got my interview invite on Friday, and my interviewer's information on Saturday night. I sent her an email Sunday afternoon, and still haven't heard back about 24 hours later. Should I just wait for her to respond, or potentially follow-up with a call or email in the next 24 hours?


Thanks!

Give her a few more days for sure. People are busy and travel, etc.

I would follow up if a total of 4 days has gone by with no response. Then wait 2 more days, and if there has still been no more response in a full week, contact the program and let them know. I've had clients who have had to be rematched before, several times. It is not a big deal -- don't stress, and good luck -- this is huuuuuge!
