Huh. Well, it seems like we have 10 worthy applicants here in this thread. Hopefully we get famed TLS boost.

Amen.

To my country club as a junior member. Should I notify H with an updated resume?

Just got the admission? By phone or email?

i wouldn't want to be a member of any country club that notifies admits by email

[Slobberson]

No they told me over a dinner at a nice restaurant.

Sorry about the dings in here today. I was hiking a trail at Sedona National Forest and didn't have reception. I thought for sure when I got back I would have at least an email ding from Harvard or Chicago. Or a call from NYU. But nothing today. Very unexpected.

So all that to say no ding for me today. I don't get my ding until next week, I guess.

[Skyblaze]

Ironic that the dings came out on Friday the 13th.

Looks like we are in similar positions...I'm still waiting on Harvard and Chicago as well.

Let the hand-wringing resume.

Just happy to be here. We'll see if I last the day...

[mileslibertatis]

Just leave this up here on the counter, and if you get any news go ahead and ring it:

I prefer this personally: http://inception.davepedu.com/.

[mileslibertatis]

That one doesn't make a ding noise, though.

truth. but it does sound like a semi or maybe an aircraft carrier rolling over you, which captures the ding feeling pretty well for me. [you can click the button btw].

[mileslibertatis]

I want to know how an aircraft carrier can "roll" over someone?

There's a big enough hill somewhere. Arguably, this is a tumble though.

Prediction: we've never seen movement on back-to-back business days, so I think we'll get a final mix of acceptances and dings either tomorrow or Wednesday (instead of today). Sound right?

I think the first seat deposit date for admits was 7/18 (although I recall reading somewhere this referred to the postage date), and also, Yale is supposed to be making decisions beginning on or around 7/18. So, I think we can expect to see some movement late this week.

My wife makes a good point -- if the deposits just have to postmarked by the 18th, the school will very likely not know who they have committed until early next week, right? I'd be surprised if there is anything other than rejections this week.

I would pay a not-insignificant sum of money to hang out in their admissions office for a day and see how their process works.

Yeah, I think you're probably right. In the interest of wishful thinking though, I'd just posit that most people who know they are going (and this is probably most people who got in) have already submitted their deposits. I know I would. I would overnight that shit in case just in case the offer was accidental, and then I could Lucy v. Zehmer their ass if they tried to renege. Anyway, my point is, they may have a general sense of whether they will need to admit more or not, just because many people probably already paid their deposit. I want to be clear that I don't actually believe this reasoning myself.

I don't even want to believe that reasoning. Because the only way it advances anything is if a ton of people are accepting their seats, which is antithetical to our wishes.

but they don't really need to wait until the 18th (or 18th + mail transit time) to wait and see who is definitely not putting down a deposit. they can tell by the % of people who have deposited already (and experience with previous cycles) roughly how many attendances they're likely to get, and plan accordingly. remember that even some of the people who paid the $500 will end up taking offers at Y or S.
