Rhyme, you got me really excited...I dailed the number and the call went to Eddie Pulliam's vm. Wooohooo, I believe I am in!!! I still need the confirmation, but they wouldn't call me for anything else today, would they??

Dosa, thanks buddy...you had more confidence in me than I ever had in my GSB app.

weird how the human mind works. Today i have gone from optimism to restlessness to desperation to anger. I will live to fight the battle another day though.

I may have to even change my nickname... or else find a very good explanation... If I do not get into Kellogg, I will feel like a high school student who got the name of the hot cheerleader tatooed on his arm and did not even get a kiss on the cheek...

Anyone from Europe received a call today? I am wondering whether I am out...I don't think they will call me that late (its around mid-night over here). Do you think I have a chance to receive a call tomorrow?

They told that they won't probably be able to call everybody, so yes, it is possible. I know how hard it is to wait, but there is still hope.

This thread has gone silent as a graveyard - the silent death by rejection (or lack of acceptance).

I think everyone who was admitted is out celebrating and those who are waiting are just looking their phones

I think the group that has admits is drunk celebrating and the other group, including me, is drinking waiting for that phone call which never came :-(

mNeo I dont think they would call you and leave you voicemail if it wasnt good news. That would be just a little unfair.

I've vaccilated all day between optimism, desperation and outright hopelessness. My phone has been utterly silent when on a average day, I have at least 2 or 3 missed calls when I step out. Oh well, in a little more than 15 hrs, it will all be over. The dings will take a while to digest.

p.s. Congrats wallspotter, Neo & ujjib!

mNeo - Of course it's an admit call!!! My friend at work got the same exact voicemail today, and she was admitted.

Congrats to all the new admits! To those still waiting to hear - I'm keeping the hope alive for you. But no matter what happens today/tomorrow, I truly believe that everything happens for a reason - if it's not GSB for you then there is a better opportunity out there waiting for you!!!
