Congrats dude! Seems like you were put in the right bucket..

Hi guys, I have been watching the thread develop. I am what you guys call a "Lurker". Thought, I should share the info as I've been reading your responses. I just got a call from Julia. She had interviewed me as well. I applied in R1 and was waitlisted. I took the statistics prerequisite exam on March 15th, and cleared it. My profile: Indian Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience in a major tech company in Colorado. GMAT 750 3 strong professional recommendations Medium-strong extracurricular activities and leadership roles outside of work I had also applied to Chicago Booth and got through there. Good luck to everyone here.

Seems like there's still some hope for you yet. Too bad it may mean you have to wait another day for a decision.

As far as I can tell, pinch was the only one let off the WL so far. The adcom said they're making calls tomorrow too. So, they might not have gotten to the WL people yet. You're in for another anxious night, but it's not over yet.
