Good luck everyone. I am not checking this place tomorrow.
I will be curled in my office waiting for the call, if there is one for me.

Based on the majority of people on this thread that experienced daily date changes....I think its not representative of admits. Unless we have just self selected ourselves at which point we should cheers at admit weekend :)

I think at this point, everyone has seen daily changes (at least no one has posted they did not have any daily change). So I don't think getting daily date changes means a ding by any means. We will find out tomorrow. I've been refreshing this thread everyday for the past week. Good luck everyone!

Found a blog post from Ross about how their decision process works. Maybe some high aspiring round 2 applicant will be able to someday crack the video date mystery. Until then best of luck tomorrow.

Quote:
We’re wrapping up Round 1 admissions decisions. Here's how our final stage works: Senior Associate Director Diana Economy reviews the team's recommendations and does the initial shaping of the class. Next, I review the decisions to ensure alignment with the Dean's priorities, then pass it on to Senior Associate Dean Valerie Suslow for approval of admit decisions.

Then, Diana and I go back and review applications to make scholarship decisions (which we finalized at 2 a.m. this morning.)

Finally, admission and scholarship decisions get updated in our database and the team will make admit calls on Wednesday, Dec. 17 (U.S.) and Thursday, Dec. 18 (international).

So its the 18th for international students?
That's not fair! The wait just continues :|

This is totally in the wrong thread. It's for Ross - Michigan, NOT Kellogg

Seems that I'm the first one to post the admission info.
Got the call just now although it's the midnight time in the US. Hard working AO...
Admitted with full scholarship, feels like a dream right now.

Oh, my video essay date change pattern for interested R2 applicants:
Stuck on Oct. 30th first then started to change daily from Dec 12 to Dec 16.

Good luck to everybody here~

Super Duper Stuff. Heartiest congratulations! A full ride shows just how much they love you.

At work already, and the wait is super painful. Feel so completely unproductive. R2 Applications haven't moved at all, because of all these speculations. Hoping and praying for some good news. Really need something positive in my life right now.

I'm pretty sure all 2Y applicants everyone saw daily video date changes from Dec12 - Dec16, so I don't think that means much. BUT it also eliminates the theory that those seeing date changes from 5th Dec onwards are clear admits (it might now point to something else, which is personally a little disappointing). Given that you are a full ride admit, you were probably the first few selects on the adcom list.

Enjoy your day.

WOW!! Congrats buddy, that is as good as it gets. Absolutely out of the world.
Your date-change pattern gives hope :D When did you interview, if you don't mind sharing?

zzchina congrats!!! Your surely are the CHOSEN one!!!

For others, my date change pattern is similar to zzchina but I haven't even been interviewed. I am expecting a DING. So this date change theory isn't worth anything I guess..

A gazillion posts on the theories of date change and the first result refuted all of them :wall

It's weird because they precisely state on their website that "Due to confidentiality constraints, we cannot release your decision over the phone"...

if it's a fake, not funny to play with people heart! :)

reaching out to applicants whose interviews have been waived - do we stand a chance? I never got a request for a follow-up call.
Is there any official communication anywhere that waived applicants who did not interview later are not accepted?

"we cannot release your decision over the phone" just means that they can't give you an answer if you call them, not that they can't call you.
