You guys got the ding email?

No, just making some assumptions based on last year.

Wow, if this is truly the case its been a blood bath this morning. I guess the fact that ALL of us haven't gotten any invites maybe raises my hopes that they haven't sent them out yet. You all are far too qualified for not a single one to be received. Good luck guys/gals!

Blood bath or no blood bath, I have a general question. Before writing any essay, I try to fathom the nature of the school. For the multiple times I visited Booth , I felt like this is one school where 'intellectually curious' guys will be looked at.
As coming from that Indian IT Male pool and with one rather weak GMAT for that pool, I tried to show my intellectual side in all those essays(Like paper publication for magazine of Chicago Art Institute, a regular column in one Indian movie-blog portal etc) more than usual professional experince.

Do you guys think that was a boomerang?
Please answer me as for all the other schools, I would try to stick to more professional experience--achievement kind of stuffs.

Thanks for your help.

Nothing for me either.

For us losers awaiting the dreaded ding, let's do a quick stats recap, and see how tragic the bloodbath was!

You guys are giving up way too early. Last year I think I got my invite the day before the deadline. Don't give up yet and just to give you some confidence there were about 9 on campus days available to interview with many time slots each day.

Don't throw in the towel yet.

Well, 24, word on the street is that last year no invites went out after this day. Your experience means this ain't true. But it was based on last year's thread (which I could not be bothered to wade through - taking someone else's word for it!)

Seems to be no hail marys or automatic admits in my very unscientific poll so far. Interesting for the conspiracy theorists!

And can noone please call the office because that would make us look like the sad bunch of desperate losers that we, in fact, are.

:-D
