haha agree... I've started tentatively looking up the admit weekends (which of course are overlapping with eachother/previously booked commitments) and the start dates for each school to think about pre-school travel options. Its all becoming very real and am trying to cope by planning around the unknown!

I heard it was only two... so not looking so good

As a point of reference, there are currently 466 members in the private HBS 2015 group on facebook. Bear in mind that that number includes R1/2+2/joint degree as well as a few HBS 2014 folks (who have joined to post listings for roommates and surveys for their FIELD projects) and a few turncoats who turned down HBS for other schools but haven't left the group yet.

So may be they will send another 400 offers in R2. And based on previous years' threads, about 20-25 gmat clubbers will get offers.

*sings to self* "Time goes by so slowly x 4 Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call Baby, night and day I'm fed up I'm tired of waiting for you"

Thought I would just add that for those of us based in DC, the spate of activity outside the Supreme Court these few days is an extremely helpful distraction. I find myself reading the Washington Post and watching rallies more frequently than lurking on gmatclub since the weekend!
