I'm sorry to hear that, Rhyme. Kellogg missed out.

But at the same time - congratulations! I'm sure it feels great to shut that door on the "applying" part and fully move on into grad school. You're going to rock Chicago GSB!

I started later than you Rhyme, but I'm feeling the same way. I guess I started preparing in July/August. It was hell waiting for decisions to come out for R2 - I was so jealous of people that had admits in hand from R1. I still have a ways to go before the application season is complete for me - Berkeley and Stanford are still weeks away and who knows how long the wait for the Columbia WL will be. At this point, I'm inclined to make a decision sooner rather than later. I'd love to move past this application phase and start planning and getting ready for next fall.

It's a great relief to have admit(s) in hand, but it will absolutely be a load off to narrow the field down to one. As many might be able to guess, I hate uncertainty, so the day I make that final choice will be a happy day.

Sorry to hear that, but at least you have closure and are going to attend an elite MBA program.

I still haven't heard anything about my Kellog R1 WaitList status.

412 days? that's a loooooonggggg time. Congrats!

I've been on this boat less than a year and I'm already exhausted. Since WL is not an option for me (I'm international and would not get a visa on time), I will have closure next Wednesday 28th, and I'm counting every minute.

Cheers. L.

Rhyme - Congratulations, I know you've been accepted at Chicago for a while now, but congrats on escaping the purgatory of the waiting list and being able to move forward. God I'm jealous.

I dig the bloom county postings, keep 'em coming.

Thanks, sometimes I forget how lucky I am to have had the GSB admit.
