Now that I have jumped, cried, called my loved ones and well-wishers.. here I am!
Go a call 30 minutes back from an Illinois number! I AM INNNNNNNN

(Indian woman from Mumbai, India, healthcare background)
I could not believe it and I started crying!
Now about the video essay: Interviewed with alum in India on 16th Oct. Video essay date was stuck on 22nd Oct. I sent an update on my profile on 4th Dec - date changed again. Then, 13th Dec onward, changed everyday like for the rest of us.
Everyone out there still awaiting a call - be strong! I have been in your place. I have been dinged many times and my confidence was at an all time low before this call came. It's very easy to lose faith in yourself in such a competitive process. Please trust yourself and persevere.
Best of Luck to everyone
