NYC here, no call, last name w a k, but my gf (we applied jointly) has a last name with one of the last letters of the alphabet. Neither of us got a call - double ding!

Still holding out for the 7pm Central supposed timeline, but I don't know if I believe it. If they haven't called EITHER of us, it's probably a ding both.

Back to the working life!

I got an early call this morning (830 Pacific Time), and was admitted! I was a waitlisted Round 1 applicant and had forgotten that tomorrow was the decision day. What a pleasant surprise!

Just when I was set on attending UCLA, Chicago has to give me something to think about. Anyone else choosing between Booth and UCLA?

Congrats to all who are in. GL to all who haven't heard yet. I got a call the following day and I'm in Oz - so GL to any Australians/NZ'ers still waiting! Are there any???

Meanwhile, I just have to say, (in response to latammc's geek shout-out), did anyone else see the quote from rhyme about "Hahaha, that would be awesome. Could I have a cape and mask and all that cool stuff too?" and immediately think "I put on my robe and wizard hat" (bash.org)

Also @ Bangalore Kid: "They're already done with Asia ??!! Damn are these guys Mongol Horsemen or what ??"

By my math they have made 81.92% of calls.
If there are decimal places involved, it must be true!

Today GC has been awesome. Quotes from people were hilarious. I just couldnt get out of the forum...yes I am super geeky, maybe that's why I LOL with The big bang theory!

GL to all who have not received news today, chances are you will receive the email with good news directly...

I'm in!!!! Received the call at 12:30 eastern time. Located in Latam (deep south). Feeling sorry for those without calls... specially Guillermo in Brazil (at least you're in Kellogg!)
This system of calls is awful. They should just give the news all at once to everyone online.
Once again, good luck to all.
