We already have plentiful confirmations those decisions were the real deal. I guess it's nice you're willing to play cheerleader with the rest of us.

LSE probably saved lives just by admitting him. Imagine if he didn't get in.

Yep, he must have learned how to bomb his citizens more effectively.

As to the MichGlitch acknowledgement from Ross - as much as I trust it (as I never doubted the initial reports posted here), I am just anxious to find out how huge my scholarship really is. :shock:

Ha, that is probably why I didnt get into Fuqua! Good thing I set up my Michigan email address while I could and tried to weasel (wolverine?) my way into the GBR before they figure out I am a R2 terrorist.

Since we are all on pins and needles right now I thought I would share the entertaining thing that just happened to me. My iphone, my one and only telephone number the adcom has, just totally died. This is probably due to readingthe forum while in bed, but the phone is totally dead and no reviving easily and I have to run to work. Let's just hope the adcom sends emails too. It's almost funny.

I heard if you miss the one and only phone call from admissions they will give your offer to someone else. :twisted:

No news on the calls front yet. But I did recieve this piece of information today, relevant for international students.

I hope you’re having a wonderful break!

The Ross School of Business is pleased to announce that a no-cosigner loan for international students will be available for incoming Full-time MBA students. The interest rate will be variable at prime + 3.50%, with a 6% guarantee fee. The loan application will be available on July 1, 2011. Further details will be available on the Ross Financial Aid website <https://www.bus.umich.edu/Admissions/FinancialAid/NoCoSignLoan.htm> in April.

From what I know, this is definitely one of the better loan options offered to international students in US Business schools.

Last night, I dreamt that I was accompanying Edith Piaf on guitar. We ran out of tunes about halfway through the set, and I suggested she sing Desperado. She whips out a saxophone :shock: and starts reading the tune horribly while I try to follow her. Then I woke up. Does this have anything to do with Ann Arborgate? Am I just worried that I won't be remembered as the originator of the appellation, "glitch?"

Great news...!

I also remember KingKREEP that you had mentioned in one of your earlier posts of sometime back that Ross fully supports their admitted students in their search for financing options.

Being an international, now I hope even more that I get in!

This reminds me of the year that parents of graduating seniors on the baseball team at my high school donated footage signs for the outfield wall (325, 380, 400, 390, etc.). They had our names and numbers on them. To me, these signs seemed more befitting of a memorial for a group of kids who'd perished in some horrible yet stereotypical drunk driving accident.

It might be a good idea for a virtual memorial for non-admitted applicants as well: nickname, ding year and GMAT score.

It's past noon already and there are no signs of any activity (on the blog or otherwise). I get the feeling we are heading into next week with the calls.
