"CONGRATS" and ***SPECIAL DIRECTIONS*** for all who get the call today at https://mbaover30.com/2013/03/26/congrat ... on-admits/ And for those who are still waiting....there are ~600-700 calls to be made today and it is still 7:05am on the west coast. Definitely chill out....it's going to be a LONG, LONG DAY of one phones ringing after the other around the world. Good luck!

@nianlun021 agree with you. What about the Lauder Global Track? Anyone applied for that?

@mbaover30 i really admire you man! did you say "around the world"? waiting for mine to ring

I am a global track applicant. No acceptances about any global track applicants on GC. Posted from my mobile device Posted from my mobile device

Just got the call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Puerto Rico I'm in!!!!!

IN in NYC. Got the (215) call few minutes before 10am. Said to expect an email with more info in about 30 minutes, and that my online status wouldn't change until later today. Good luck everyone!

I know this got buried in the past 24 hours, but I wanted to rehash an earlier post for the nervous ones out there. I certainly was one of them at about this time three months ago. -- On the day the decisions are released, admitted students will start getting calls in the morning (eastern time). There seems to be little correlation with calls, except that I believe international applicants often get calls earlier than domestic ones (that's an observation, not necessarily a fact). Domestic applicants started getting calls around 8-8:30 a.m. eastern time (again, an observation, not necessarily a fact). I am on the east coast and I got a call just past 11 a.m. - so don't read too much into timing, especially if you're in the States. The calls came from admissions officers as well as the second-year admissions fellows. At least as far as the fellows are concerned, they don't get a list of whom to call until the day of, and they get it at different times, depending on their availability. The status changed around noon (I got an email at 12:11 p.m.) the day of, and I believe some people who got in had not gotten the call before that happened. Good luck, everyone!

Thanks jwcardinal11! Hope "status changing before the call" is the standard pattern for Lauder Global Track Still haven't lost hope though it has thinned
