I never got an answer for my thank you note, is that normal?
Hi. I wouldn't worry about it.

In general, I would not expect a response to a thank you note, but it seems that some people did get a response from Sloan. It probably depends on the interviewer and their busy schedule.

Fyi I got a response from Sloan but not from Wharton. I don't think you can read anything into it. Relax!

Hi everyone. I joined the MBA chat with Admissions earlier today (still going on actually!) and they confirmed to someone that:

"In the past, all R1 admissions decisions were released on the same day. These were electronic and by the afternoon. Admitted people get a phone call as well from us and a call from a current student later than night or the next day."

Hope this helps to clarify what to expect on 17/12! Good luck!!

That's strange, their website says 12/17 not 12/16... damn, which day!

My mistake! It is 17/12 (was daydreaming there for a minute). I corrected my post above so hope that clears up any confusion.

I joined the chat late, but was told that ALL admitted students, even international, will get a call or at least are supposed to get a call.

I'm anxious about the decision, one more week to go!

I hope they leave a voice mail if you do not answer because some times my phone glitches and I do not receive phone calls but will see an alert about a voicemail.

one important caveat to that, and correct me if i'm wrong, is that not everyone gets a call on that day. all admitted students receive a call, but not necessarily on the day decisions are released. some people will find out through the website.

My conversation with admissions is that you will get a voicemail from them if you aren't available to pick up. However, I believe you won't get a decision over voicemail, but something along the lines of calling them back or checking your email. Regardless of the content, if you get a vmail from MIT on 12/17, chances are it is good news.

Results will be announced on December 17, starting at 9am ET, so far correct?
Will we be able to see the status online prior to receiving a call?

Anyone familiar with how FinAid works at MIT? Do they actually give out merit packages, or are they only need-based like some of the other schools?

They're merit-based.

Although you probably don't care too much about that, given your accepts at HBS and Stanford ;-)
Congratulations!!

Less than 48 hours to go. Last year they started calling admitted students very early in the day (~08:00am EST) I pray that they call me early in the day.

The past few days have been very stressful for me. I cannot concentrate on anything until I hear the decision.
