Can you remind me how it works with admission calls vs. status updates for Booth? If admitted, are calls made a few days before the decision date?
Are people ever notified via status update only? If you have to wait all the way to the 26th does it mean an
automatic ding?
I believe, based on recent history, that calls go out the day before the official notification date and could continue on the notification date, mostly before the 9:00am release time. I don't think they call much earlier than the day before.
I happened to be one of the few (the only?) that
didn't get a call before decisions were released. So I went home that evening and started working on R2 apps. The next morning I got the "admit" decision online, called admissions to confirm, and tossed all my other apps-in-progress. ~phew...
So if you're in, there's a high probability that you'll get a call, but they might not get to everyone. There are usually a fair number waitlisted too, and those are released at 9:00am on the decision date.
