The hour of notifications is nigh, We are almost to the end of round one; Whether an admit, waitlist, or deny, At least all of the waiting will be done! This forum has been a source of support, Seriously folks it's been lotsa fun; When y'all are notified please here report, Wishing the very best to all...Hook'em! -teleste '13

Given that they are announcing Dings as well, i guess if you have not heard from them, then your application is pretty much still in review going into home stretch..or its just me desperately trying to be optimistic..

I really, really hope you're right. It's kind of funny, I have mixed feelings about posting my nervousness to a message board I know they read. Still, I want you to know I appreciate your optimism and I'm waiting right along with you.

I don't think they actually read this board even if they do, they have seen this scene play over year after year..Anyhow, Good luck to all who are still waiting..

Question regarding how McCombs calculates your GPA - it says they only do upper level course work. What is that consisted of? What if I held off an easy lower level year course until senior year ? do they only look at the last 60 hours? my college has lower level courses listed at 2000 level, 3000 level for the business level courses (like your marketing/finance/business stat/international business), and 4000 level for your major courses. Appreciate any help!
