So have you all started thinking about what you're gonna say if/when you see that 734 area code calling your cell phone? Gonna play it low-key or are you gonna blabber thank yous incoherently even before they say a word and make the adcom member calling second guess the admit?

The same way a doctor feels bad when he's the bearer of bad news, the adcom must feel pretty good when they hear excitement on the other end of the phone. I think I made the adcom laugh on my first acceptance with my incessant "thank youing". And mind you this was for a school I wasn't ecstatic about attending. I did it more so to make him feel good lol

Exceprt from WSJ about the Erb institute

Quote:
Interest among students at the University of Michigan Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise, which offers a specialized M.B.A./Master of Science program from the School of Natural Resources and Environment, and provides sustainability-related education initiatives,has grown in the last several years, says Rick Bunch, managing director.

But his team and the students have had to do most of the outreach to find full-time positions where graduates' skills are valued, he says.

"The majority of our students are not trying to go into sustainability staff positions, but are trying to go into business units" where they can impart these skills, says Mr. Bunch.

Pretty quiet on the Ross thread. I guess everyone is just sitting tight until maybe Wednesday?? Is that a fair guess? A call from 734 on Monday wouldn't be too bad, just wishful thinking.

That's what I'm doing. I'm guessing admissions is probably in the process of wrapping up decisions at this point.

I'm having trouble recalling what phone number I provided to adcom (definitely didn't give my cell b/c I never use it; must have given either work or home). If they call my house and don't get me, would they give my wife the news? If they call work and get voicemail, would they leave a message?

I've read that some people clear their work calendars on days they're expecting these types of calls in order to hover over their phone all day, but I don't think I prefer to torture myself in such a manner.

Just log in on embark and download your application. The phone number you gave them should be there.

I'm a R1 applicant. The R1 decision date was Jan 15 and I got the Wolverine access e-mail on 8th Jan.
So I would expect your access e-mail to be on the way just about anytime now :)

Looks like they are keeping their promise of getting decisions our early. Good luck everyone.
