And nope, no jr1. Submitted late Sept. So I was expecting the ding..

I don't understand how with your numbers you didn't get a JR1?!

[thecilent]

I have a few negative softs (a bunch of arrests when I was 17-18). While I think it's not that bigadeal at most schools, YHS prob doesn't like it too much.

I kinda thought I was still going to get one though. Ahh well. I'll be happy with top 5% at CCN

I'm pretty sure if you were updated to 01/07 it means you are getting a Rubenstein.

I know it's well established at this point, but I too have now gone to 1/7 ([early UR date I can't remember]----->12/19---------->1/7).

Didn't you read the thread? If you updated for 1/7 it means you are in! Congrats if you did and see you at ASW!

So, do they call on multiple days... or if your phone is silent on Monday is that a bad sign?

[jman77]

12/8 -- 1/6 -- 1/7 here. I guess I'll be hearing on Monday as well.

They admitted 750 people last year. Since it's so late in the cycle and they want to do a "big batch" that'll probably be half the admits at once, so about 325. If they're going fast and making 20 calls an hour, then it will take them 16 hours of call time to admit everyone. Theoretically they will go in order of complete date, so September should be Monday, October Monday / Tuesday, November Tuesday / Wednesday, and December will be Wednesday / Thursday if they hear at all.

If you don't hear on Monday, don't freak.

If you don't hear by Thursday, freak.

While I don't disagree, I doubt that they will have only one person making calls if there are 325 to make.

Solid speculation. Although if they wanted to, they can make 200 calls in one day. Business school admissions seem to be able to do that (not saying they are the same, but stating just for a point of reference) I'm October applicant, so I'll probably freak if I don't hear by end of Tuesday, lol.

Man... pls stop making such ridiculous statement...
Be responsible and speak like a lawyer..

I'm pretty sure if you were updated to 01/07 it means you are getting a Rubenstein.

[HowdyYall]

For some reason I doubt they will come out with decisions for people from November next week. Just seems odd that it was a full month later (2/5 and 2/10) last year for those submitting in november

They specifically said on Twitter they this batch will include Sept Oct and Nov complete dates, so that's how we know. They're releasing the decisions 2 weeks later than last year too; operating on a different cycle.

I don't know about December for this batch, but I'm a September complete, so I'm just going to be content with assuming a W/L or Ding after COB Monday if I haven't heard otherwise.

[4102011]

Just got in from a 4+ hour drive, looks like everyone has been freaking out for pages because... the same thing happened to everyone?

It's not even really freaking out (well, maybe except Dulc - making a spreadsheet for some reason lol); it's just boredom and anxiousness for Monday, I think..

I just wanted to do something slightly useful, as winter break is a wasteland of boredom. Psh.
