169/3.68, complete 1/5.
I just missed a phone call about 15 minutes ago, and my voicemail isn't working!
Did the call come from a Boston phone number, or was it anonymous?
When BU called my iphone late last month, the number came across as 'Unknown' so I didn't answer...! When they left a VM it showed up as the 617-353-2000 number, which is what I think shows up for everyone IIRC.
Aargh! Now my phone has stopped working altogether!!
How long was it between the phone call and the acceptance email (assuming that's standard procedure)?

I got an acceptance call last Tuesday. An email about a reception and the admitted students site password the next day. Got the acceptance packet in the mail either Friday or Saturday. It was waiting for me this morning when I came back from out of town, and since there was no mail yesterday...

Edit: NYU got back to me 1/21 after applying 1/1. BU got back to me 2/15 after applying 11/26. It happens.

There isn't a true acceptance email that I can recall; Looking through my inbox I got a "Welcome from the Dean" email on Feb 9, after they called on Jan 31. I think I received my acceptance packet in the mail on Feb 5...

In!! Just got the voicemail. I have terrible reception @ work and my phone didn't even ring.

I enjoy the excitement of looking at the screen to see the area code I've been waiting for.

I submitted early/mid Jan.

I'm really considering submitting an official status check, even though I called them not too long ago. It seems like many people who submit requests get an actual decision rather soon after.

I've sent two- one in mid January and one last week. Both said the same thing. Figures.

Argh, I just sent another status request. The first time I sent one, I never got a response, which led me to call them. They told me they didn't have it on record that I requested it so hopefully, it doesn't look like I'm annoying them. Don't wanna annoy anyone.

They still didn't send it after you called?

No, but they told me on the phone I was "ready for review".

Some people did get decisions soon after, but not everyone. I submitted a status check about a month ago and was told my file was ready for review. Still no word and now sitting at complete for 5 months.

Sweet, got the call today. Numbers, etc., in LSN.

Would you consider the $20k/yr over T14's/UCLA, etc? I might not have the same choice but...just curious.

I wonder if we are the winners for longest complete time?

LOL. BU asked me to explain my criminal addendum. Tonight I opened it up so I could remember exactly what it said and realized I made a really obnoxious typo in the second sentence. Wonder if this affected me at all this cycle?
