All,

Many congratulations to those who have been admitted. Welcome T16s

Those who haven't heard, keep your chin up. There's still some time to go and you all are awesome candidates. So even if the final decision today is not in your favor, there are others that certainly will be. I was in your boat last year, trying to figure out the order in which calls come, what does each call mean, who was calling etc. Its a good way to pass time but let me assure you - there's no pattern at all. If you are in, you will get to know, no matter where you are

I'm a T15 from India currently camping in new Jersey for my winter break. If anyone wants to speak regarding anything, or even meet up, I'm happy to schedule something. Please feel free to reach out.

In the meanwhile, relax and enjoy your Holidays. The next 2 years are going to be a lot of fun and work

Cheers!

oh wow. amazing acceptance rate for GMAT Club members. For those who haven't heard back yet, my co-worker got his call at around 4pm ET (he had absolutely given up hope, and was shocked to get the call - he is based in Houston). It's not over until it's over.

I mean to be honest, I am not that impressed with the rate this year (maybe we have incomplete data). The last three years' acceptance rates were 28%, 26%, & 29%. Right now our EA is sitting at 18%.

Hmmmmmmm.

oh sorry, I just saw your list and the number of admits who have reported so far. Seems like we need one last push during the next hour or so to get our acceptance rate up to average.

I think that may be attributable to the growth and popularity of Gmatclub. Total EA applicants went from 107 to the 190s this year compared to last. Tuck's class size isn't growing, so I would expect the # of admits to stay about the same (30s), but the % to obviously decrease. Still rooting for you all for the next hour though!
