I believe that over the last two years, Johnson called two to three days before the notification date.
Let's hope this year they will let us know earlier. :-D

Woof. This almost makes other schools seem merciful for releasing all decisions on the same day.
I decided I'm not going to worry about anything until next Friday.

Yea, although I think we are all just anxious in general. The timing of the release doesn't affect our individual chances at all, so in a way, them calling ahead of the deadline is a gift. I am glad they are doing it so at least I know there is a chance to hear before the 20th.

I think it's brutal we hear from Darden the day after Johnson. Imagine two dings, back-to-back.

You're a horrible person for even mentioning that possibility.

I agree somewhat. I would be completely fine being the last person notified of acceptance because, like you said, the order of notification has no meaning whatsoever. However, the fact that other people have received acceptances while I have not, introduces the possibility of a ding whereas if no one has received notification, I have no reason to suspect being denied.
In general, though, I haven't begun to actually worry yet.

Lol. Sorry about that one.

Between Duke interview invites next Friday, Johnson's decision the following Tuesday, and Darden the day after, this is gearing up to be the slowest week of all time.

I know you're in the same boat as me, so hopefully I'll be writing to you about which one to choose in about 10 days!

Good luck next week, guys! I'm so glad that the three schools to which I applied scheduled their decision dates on separate weeks - Duke EA on the week of 12/5, Cornell on the week(s) of 12/12 and 12/19, and Michigan on the week of 1/9.

If you haven't done it yet, it would be a good idea to have a Fuqua alum/current student or two officially send in a supplemental recommendation for you.

Im not sure if I know any Fuqua grads. If I find one, I'll certainly ask for that. If not, I hope that it's not a huge deal breaker without one!

It certainly isn't a deal breaker, but it will give you an advantage. Fuqua is big on fit, and there is nothing that proves that you will make a great addition to the class more than having alums/current students recommend you.

Going back to Johnson, I just added the following YouTube video to the first post. It is not specific to Johnson, but it is one of the best tributes to any university that I have seen so far.

Congratulations to those who have been admitted. As a 1st year Johnson student now who was doing the same exact thing last year as you guys are doing now, I completely feel your frustration! Just know that it will work out for everyone. The reason I write on here now is because last year a classmate of mine started our class facebook page after he got his acceptance in December. It now consists all of the 1st years and is a resource that has helped us since February (prior to arriving on campus) through now... it's still incredibly active and it's just 1st years. Admissions/Administration has nothing to do with our FB page. So what I've done is created the FB page for the Johnson Class of 2014

https://www.facebook.com/groups/JohnsonClassOf2014/

Just trying to get some grassroots efforts spreading the word, so I decided to come on here. Best of luck to all! let me know if you have any questions about applications or just Johnson in general! Feel free to email me at rab492@cornell.edu
