Rhyme,

Since you stay in Chicago, why don't you call me tomorrow. Let me experience the feeling of receiving a call from Chicagoland







PS:- please don't do that. I might die of heart attack

Hey Rhyme...since you´re a student at Booth, would it be possible for you to find out if they will start calling out today?...

Ha Ha. I know you've a special proclivity to write such codes( from previous years threads)

I'd take comfort from the fact that adcom doesn't call to ding or WL, which means it's an admit.

Thanks for the code. You know I'm not from IT

Sadly I wield no such power.

i take it that the silence means folks are dazed out at work...staring at a blank screen evaluating every single piece of their app!! or maybe its just me....jeez i think im goin insane...i may just go to sleep and wake up on wed...if im like this today....i dont even want to think about tom...

i read on this forum or the BW one that the adcom is backed up and they may not call all admitted students...is that true??

Make sure you break out the while loop after the first call, or your CPU might overload :twisted:

Does Booth Call internationals? In particular Canada?
