Definitely not all over. I didn't get my call on the east coast until 11am.

Anyone get financial aid/scholarship information? Eric, the person who called me, didn't have that information but he said that it would be available by 12pm today when the decisions were officially posted (although my acceptance hasn't been posted on their portal yet)

What about the east coast? I submitted with a GRE score ..680 GMAT conversion. Then I decided to take the GMAT and got my official 770 GMAT score to Fuqua on Tuesday with confirmation that the adcom would look at my file again. My GPA is 3.9 from UNC, and I was the valedictorian and got the chancellor's award for the Chemistry department in 2010 after graduating a year early with a double major in Chemistry and Biology. Then I got a masters in Chemistry and Chemical Biology from the #3 school in the field. I worked so hard to make sure my essays illustrated my fit to Fuqua. I haven't heard anything yet... No hope?

Did the Tarheel affiliation played a part? I am just kidding. Your situation is very unique. I re took my GMAT 2 days before EA decision and submitted the new score, however, after I got my admit, the adcom member said that they didn't need my updated score. Typically, the decisions are made few days before the decision day, so it could be possible that they will wait list you and then re consider your new GMAT score. I can't say anything with certainty, but I am surprised that with those numbers, you did not get a call.

I was hoping for the same. But I don't think they have any calls left to make. Else, somebody would have posted something by now. It's been a lull for a fair amount of time right now!!!
