SICK. Just got the call, when I had all but lost hope. I'm based in DC, so don't lose hope you east cost peeps. Good luck!

i assume people are getting called on their cell phones not their home or work numbers?

@FN, (or anyone else who has knowledge in the matter) - Can you confirm this time or is it a guestimate? I'm hearing 5pm as well but can't find any information on release times anywhere. Does anybody know for sure what time decisions will be released today?

I'm In!!! I can´t describe how happy I am right now. Good luck to all of you!

On the apply yourself page, the note at the bottom left says all deadlines are 5:00pm. This probably refers only to application submission deadlines, but it may be the source of the 5:00pm estimate. Earlier posts say that the decision went out at 9:00pm for R1.

Just called Lauder back. I'm in Wharton!!! But Lauder acceptance is conditional. Either way, this is amazing But definitely complicates things with regard to my Columbia acceptance....

improving my language proficiency.

Can someone post the link to the chat room, please? Also - just logging in. What is the speculaiton regarding a missing link on the website?

Just wanted to take a second to thank Jmw125 for all the updates here. Seems like a really first class guy. I got my call this morning and I look forward to meeting Jmw and other people just like Jmw at Wharton. Good luck all!
