congratulations ankit on all the admits. Have you already decided from your list of acceptances?

Thank you!!

I haven't decided because i am still waiting one of my results and one application i submitted in round 2...i'll decide by Jan end. What about you?


_________________

I haven't heard from the adcom. Did the tell you when your file was complete? My file has been complete for the whole of last week, but i haven't heard from them. I guess i will call them and check.
Congruts!

they asked me for my degree certificate on around 17th of december. then i was informed that my file was complete.



_________________

I emailed and called them! Turns out that they are waiting for my official test scores...i thought i had read somewhere where they said they adcom will move forward with unofficial scores. ah, well.

They also sent me an email, saying they will be here in Chicago for get together of applicants, alumni, admission committee members etc. I don't think i will go. I can't go, though it would have been nice to go.

here is the email:

I’m not sure if we’ve had the chance to meet, but I see that you have submitted an application to the Illinois MBA.



I wanted to let you know that we have planned a dinner in Chicago next week so that our Chicago-area applicants can get together to meet each other as well as a few of our Chicago-based alumni. Assistant Dean Darcy Sementi and I will be in attendance also. We would definitely enjoy having you at this dinner event. Here are the details:



Date: Thursday, January 17

Time: 7:00 p.m.

Restaurant: Fogo de Chão

Location: 661 N. LaSalle Blvd, Chicago

Website: http://www.fogodechao.com/index.php?id=162



Feel free to e-mail me if you would be able to attend this dinner. I’ll be sure to follow up by phone to see if you have any questions about the event.



I hope to meet you soon!



Sincerely,

Ben Moreland

i dont know unofficial scores but unofficial transcripts, yes. Official scores are a must for every college i guess. I reported my scores the moment i decided on the colleges i'll be applying in round 1. I reported in september.

This is just a formal invite to an event because they our coming near you. I got a similar one as well when Associate Dean Stig Lanesskog came to India. It turned out that he was also taking a few interviews so i gave my interview then itself. My application was also a part of the usual application process so i also got a skype interview invite. They mixed up somehow. But the interview opportunity was mentioned in the event invitation mail. It doesnt seem the same in your case in this email.
