I don't think that it is time to give up. Sloan says on its website that invites can come until february 6. Moreover, the ding day of last year was on the 22nd. It seems like things do not happen the same way every year. Maybe tomorrow's news might be good or bad or we might even have no news at all... Keep trusting yourself. Btw, you guys did not explain in your essays that failures could bring interesting lessons?

i was answering his question.. yeah sadly a ding...

Even after the ding day a few got interviews last year...

was today even really a ding day? was there more than one ding out there?

looks like this year is different..

You mean that's when you received the ding last year right ? This year you haven't heard back still ?

That was my first thought too after reading his post, that he was talking about last year. But now that i read his reply, i think he is talking about this year. Anil, you may wanna clear it up please. But nyways, tomorrow is the last working day before the school takes a couple of weeks off till the first week of January. We may have an answer tomorrow.
