Hi all,

I actually live in a Maryland suburb of DC but I work in DC proper. Should I still be expecting a call today?

Ross is my first choice. I think I would have to take some time off if I got in. Totally unproductive.

They said they'd prioritize calls to cities in which they're having admit events next week. DC, San Fran, LA, NYC, Chicago, etc.

DC people should get calls today, I'd assume.

From 11th 4 years ago with a far better placement record to a shared 14th in 2013. Is the continuous decline in the US News rankings a cause for concern? Has Ross not been able to cope with the changing face of the global economy?

As others have said in other threads, you have to look at the details of the methodology. A three rank drop may be a difference of 1 or 2 points... is that really a difference at all? I'm sure some stats whiz could do some statistical significance calculations for us...maybe it'll pass the time waiting for the call.

You also have to look at the fact Ross graduates a month or 6 weeks before most schools so the employment data isn't exactly equivalent.

I just got a phone call from a 443 area code and it happened to be about a job.

THE STRESS IS KILLING ME.


AHHHHHH.

Well, I've been waiting the wait since R1 (waitlisted after interview) and am not tense anymore. But I've become a negative nancy! or a negative nanny (tired and exhausted!) Am an international but live in the US - am not sure whether I'll receive a call. Haven't been getting a lot of work done for a few months now!

I have my phone sitting in front of me and I keep staring at it.

I also refused to go to the bathroom for an hour because my phone would lose coverage in the hallway for 30 seconds....

Lol. I'd go now...once calls start coming in, you won't want to leave your phone then.

I don't think you want to be answering your phone in the bathroom anyways...
