The emotions you experience while waiting for an acceptance to b-school.

1. Anxiety - decision day has finally come....
2. Happiness - for the people who have received the acceptance call.
3. Delusion - what is going on here? there is a conspiracy going on!!!
4. Anger - for those you felt happy for in step 2.
5. Acceptance - either by the b-school or accepting that you've been rejected.

I'm some where around 3. haha

It's definitely a roller coaster. Waiting to hear is the worst part though. I even got a bit nervous waiting for UCLA to call even though I didn't have plans on accepting their offer.

Looking at Anderson stats from US News, it looks like they only got 638 applications and made 419 offers @ 65% acceptance rate.

The fact that an admit was virtually a guarantee, your nervousness is a great testament to how nerve racking this process is.

In business school applications, nothing is ever assured. If they had too many consultants this year, there's a good chance I might not have gotten in, no matter what my credentials are. That's part of the reason this whole process is frustrating. To a certain extent, this is all up to complete chance.

For schools with a high volume of applicants, that is certainly true. Not so much for schools with acceptance rates close to 70%.

The online status won't be updated until tomorrow. You get the call and probably sometime tomorrow morning there will be an email sent out and your status will be updated.
