D-Day was Wednesday as well. Got the call on Friday and was over the moon back then. Then nothing happened, no change online, no email... so that eventually I got scared I imagined it. :D Good luck everyone! I believe they started with Europe...

Kind of throwing in the towel for Haas- would be very pleasantly surprised to get a waitlist spot

Glancing back it appears International calls started Friday and Domestics came about Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday of "D-Day" week. Haha. Both D-Days were Wednesdays - though it seems someone was told by adcom not to expect to hear anything early this round. I'm assuming its in their best interest to say the deadline as to avoid the overly anxious contacting them (like myself). Good luck everyone! Hope to see some some good news in here today ..... and especially next week

Did everyone see his Facebook post by Haas admissions? There is still hope!

Number of R2 admits on the stats page went from 2 to 4. The two were there last week, so perhaps mistakes, but the two new ones?...

Does anyone know whether the R1 offer was rolling base as well as interview invitation...? Just heard someone in Asia got the R2 offer on Monday morning local time....I have to say it's weird..because it's Sunday in US... Finger crossed for all

Yes R1 was rolling admits. First calls went out on Friday, continued over the weekend according to forum posts, and up until a few hours before the deadline time. At 5pm PST an email went out to the remaining applicants including waitlist (like me).
