I think it's working now, but status is the same (under review)

Got a call last night -- I surely was surprised but so grateful! Now I have a tough choice to make between Haas, Yale SOM and Kellogg. If you want to provide any insight into your thoughts, I would appreciate it! kellogg-vs-yale-som-164700.html

Got a call last night from Stephanie Fuji. Admitted! I'm based in India.

Congrats to those who have already been accepted! Of you all who are admitted, are any of you Consortium applicants? I'm curious if they do those earlier/later/at the same time...

rp2013 - what time did you get the call last night (in IST)?

It looks like last year Haas didn't update application statuses (WL or ding) until around 5:30pm EST. I hope they will do it earlier this year, but I think we should all be prepared for a long day of waiting...

maybe means they make some more calls on the last day? don't know if that has happened in years past.

It looks like there were some calls on the decision day last year. Good luck to everyone who has interviewed and is still waiting! Unfortunately, I fall into the hope-for-the-waitlist category :-/
