Happy Tuesday everyone!
I wonder if i could do anything worthwhile at work today... :pc

I took the day off and I plan to remain in bed until my phone rings!

I hate being in London. It's only like 3 am in Chicago right now ... I will be at work all day before the adcom even gets into the office! I wish I could just sleep until the phone rings ... instead, I'll just stare blankly at my computer for the foreseeable future and pretend I'm doing work. Refreshing GMATclub constantly = work, right?

Working in London is FANTASTIC when you get to dump all your work on US teams before leaving for the day. On days like today, it sucks! :lol:

Somebody asked about the number of admits in R1, they were about 350...which makes sense, given yield and class size.

Not sure if R2 will be that massive...

If anything, round 2 will be more than 350. Rose commented in one of her posts that Booth is planning on an intake of 900 (including buffer) for the class of 2012. If round 1 was 350, round 2 will be likely around 450 (assuming 100 odd in round 3). Also, its been mentioned ad nauseaum in various posts that round 2 is the largest (in terms of intake) of all rounds.

Hope I have not confused you guys. :twisted:

Struggling to make it through the day. Late to work, lacking focus, can't think of anything but the Admission call.

Just contributing to your potential book (I do hope that you do make it somewhere, though)

Ok, I am pooping my pants. I just signed up to comment but have been reading GMAT Club for the past month. Thanks everyone for the posts and great advice. Freaking out today about Booth... I do hope I get the call. I didn't sleep well last night.

GMAT 710/ 3.76 GPA Good Large Public/ 6.5 Years W/E/ Good Rec's/ Good Community Involve/Female. Applied to UCLA (Interview), Harvard (no word, jerks!), Chicago Booth (interview), Northwestern Kellogg (interview). Haven't head from anywhere yet! I am pooping my pants!
