Calling Chicago GSB 2008 applicants

"Fortunately, before leaving I had packed fourty liters of embryonic fluid that I threw over my head and soaked myself in."
Priceless, I tell you...priceless. Maybe I should've mentioned this in my 'Why Chicago':
I hope to refine and hone my wilderness survival instincts with the Advanced Cougar and Rabid Dog Analytics class. My interactions with 1st year student Rhyme at 'the club' have really showed me that GSB is the place where I can grow in this area.

maybe I should abuse my mod powers and delete everyone's posts before mine so I'm the first on the 100th page

Woohoo. Page 100!

I think it'll go to page 130 max...

Wanna bet?

If we do, it would have to be via PM... because stating the bet in public might influence the outcome how many pages do you see it going to?

i want a slot on page 100.

me too

I think I deserve to be here as well as I've contributed very often at this thread.

totally cheating in extending the page count

This waiting is killing me (c) *sigh*

Not that I had any bet with Adcxaway, anyway.

I wonder why this thread is so much more popular than all the rest...are there really that many more people applying to the GSB than other schools?

Also, Rhyme, the Mrs. and I will be there for (hopefully) all of Friday and Saturday. Let me know if you have time to meet up!

Yeah, GSB seemed to draw the most clubber applicants this year but I think some of it can be attributed to Rhyme. This thread was the one spot where you could be confident of having a question answered reliably by a current student. Also its a snowball affect, people respond more and responses get responses and it quickly grows. Its amazing to see the rapid growth at times and lulls at others. When results come in there will probably be 15-20 pages added in a week. There will probably be 5 pages following admit weekend as people write about their experiences and answering questions about it.

Kellogg and Michigan will probably top 100 and I wouldnt be shocked to see this top 150. The action will continue through the summer as next years applicants start participating more and people matriculating continue to talk about it.

we probably will need to start a new thread for next year's applicants so we don't hit the max pages.

river, you and I got our work cut out for us to make Kellogg and Haas reach 100 next year

Agreed, why don't they just forgo the suspense and just admit us both now.

Ok just had my interview. Not sure how it went - the questions were pretty standard and so were my answers, so not sure if I showed enough passion for the school. All the questions have been mentioned here before (thanks all you early interviewees). Everyone seems fascinated by how I have flown all the way from Australia to be here (thanks for the tip djhouse81).

Onwards to NYU and then the wait begins.

Yes, I have the time!

My wife will be on campus Friday as well hosting some stuff for partners, so I'm sure they will meet. In addition, several of us are hosting a little drink get together downtown Friday night for admits. I've pm'd you the location. Just sign up when you arrive and I'll buy you a beer Friday night. I'll also be at the admit breakfast on Friday morning. Finally, I've also PM'd you my ph #.

1 down, 1 to go! Good luck at NYU!
