Congrats Sept09!!! Welcome to the GMATClub community.

When you get a free moment, can you please post your profile in our profiles thread?

103-t62945

Same goes to any other new members of GMATClub. It'd help us all out a lot. Cheers

Congrats ac!

Congratulations to you both! Now I start getting nervous.

Congrats to you both.

Would you please look and tell us if your online status has changed ? This will help ease international applicants curiosity.

Congratulations both of you

Thanks!

They said that status wouldn't change until tomorrow, when the official email came out.

No change yet

Congrats to the people who got in.
I hope they are not done yet. Hoping for my phone to ring.

Where are you two located, again? I remember ac is currently working in MI. I'm wondering if they are holding off on calls to West coast people? Or wait, AC are you from Norcal?

Congratulations to so far admits! Well done!

As for international (European) candidates... I'm kind of preparing myself for ding. In Europe it's now 5/6pm, so they would have been calling Europeans now, b/c of the time difference (in a moment it'll be night here and too late to call). So no call = ding. Oh well...

I just got into Booth!

I am delighted that I have options now! (for some reason, not as thrilled as Kellogg call but maybe it's because that was my first admit!)

My co-workers want to take me to lunch/happy hour. LOL. I will be back later in the chat room.

Here's the details of my conversation:

1) The officer at Admissions Office mentioned that I should expect an email in 2 to 3 days with info related to support (until enrollment) process here on...(like customer service? lol....GSB is so courteous)
This officer will handle everything i need for me from now on.

2) The email will include Booth ID and access to admit student portal. I was warned that info in this site will be enormous and will answer prob all my questions plus more.

3) I will also get a phone call from current 1st yr at Booth for further Q&A session.

I asked about Feb Admit wknd and they said details are still coming. There's probably a simulated class w real Booth professor. Night out activities with GSB students, Chicago tour, dinner and more celebration etc.

Congrats to others!

Congratulations, Ninkorn!

My friend in India was waiting for his call from Cornell yesterday....their deadline was today 9am EST....he stayed up all night waiting for the call coz of the time difference....they ended up calling him 5 mins before they released the decisions online..... so International applicants....pls dont give up hope

Ninkorn! CONGRATS! The double admit! Very happy for you!

Congratulations Ninkorn. Man, the top two of the schools you applied to. Impressive!

I just got an e-mail from Booth... inviting me to participate in a student led event near my house.

SERIOUSLY. This is what you're sending to me on the day you are releasing decisions??? I just don't get what is going through their minds:) Don't they know anything related to the word Booth gives me a minor heart attack right now? Can't they wait with these e-mails??? A little sensitivity...

I need to go outside and catch my breath...

Ninkorn - you rock! Congrats!

ninkorn, you're cleaning up man! what the heck did you write about in those essays.
