You know... An accent from behind the Iron Curtain

Judging by the number of websites advertising mail-in Russian brides, I figure that's a desirable characteristic

Some people waiting to hear back are from Ivy UGs, so I don't think there's a trend here...

I don't think this information cuts off the possibility of such a trend. The "some" to which you refer could be diverse in other ways.

e.g. Cold War accent

#desperation

Sorry to break the news, but I think the admissions committee is predominantly, if not all, female...

Just an idea...but those that haven't heard back...is there something in your backgrounds that might make you special? Perhaps they're filing in some last minute "diversity" seats and we're going to get KB1s in a few minutes.

I'm a pretty standard applicant -- the only semi-diverse thing I can think if is my undergrad school. I am certain there is no one else from my school they are considering.
Same actually. They're probably busy googling our UGs.

im the same as well- this is the first theory that actually makes sense to me as to why they havent answered me yet

There is a bit of a sub-trend here.

at this point i dont know if a WL is a good or bad thing at this point...the fact that they are still handing out kb1's is still confusing

No. It seems like the two recent KB1s have been URMs. Probably just squaring URM numbers before having to get into the WL.

Well, there goes 5pm.

Did anyone from the April 4th Hold group see any action today?

Seems most people were earlier holds. I haven't even seen any March holds action, though I might be wrong.

I'm not even sure if anyone with a February hold saw any action today...

Did most of you who have yet to hear back send in an LOCI recently? Maybe that pushed our applications to the end of the decision list automatically.

Anyone else want to at least get some entertainment out of this and speculate as to why we haven't heard back yet? I don't feel cool being the only one...

(Also, most of us are early submitters/early holds, they know our application like the back of their hands at this point.)

This is an interesting thought. I was a mid-Nov submit, early Feb hold, and sent a LOCI on 4/3.

Overnighted a LOCI last Tuesday and was WLed today...

Held jan 27 sent LOCI feb 7

Doorkeeper · Post by **Doorkeeper** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 5:14 pm

Wow. I'm really surprised that many of us didn't hear anything. I have no idea what that means...

I guess I get to be ridiculously anxious for another day. What fun!

4/4 hold and sent a LOCI they would have received around 4/12. It sounds like I wouldn't have heard back yet anyway, but that LOCI could have pushed me back a little as well.

I am still unscathed. Held in January, didn't send a LOCI.

Doorkeeper · Post by **Doorkeeper** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 5:28 pm

January hold as well with no word. LOCI in January, resume update a month ago.

Held Jan, sent one LOCI in late Jan and another two weeks ago. Maybe that's why I have yet to recieve any emails?
