Who on here thinks they could go a whole business week next week without checking the status checkers of schools they're seriosly considering?

For whatever it's worth I did it last week and quite a few weeks before that as well lol. Most weeks I only check mine on Mondays. It helps keep me sane... I know I'm in the minority, though!

I can and will do this, with the exception of if I get an email telling me to check (i.e. to see my decision).

Let me know what happens and if you do it. I don't think I can. I know I can't, actually.

Is there $ associated with this wager?

The one school Im really waiting on has no status checker, so it wouldnt be hard.

I'm in! I personally hate taking the time to check them anyway. I make myself do it once a week. I normally do it on Fridays, but I'm sure I can resist.

I decided to stop checking status checkers in December and it's been a really good decision. But, the first thing I do whenever I get on my computer after work is check my email haha.

I check on mondays and fridays.

I check TLS just about every hour though.

Yes it seems that I too have become addicted to TLS over the last month or so. I'm litterally on here 5 or 6 times a day. I've practically stopped Facebooking :shock: :shock: :shock:

Good job! I know I can't do it...I went under review for a school I am very interested in on Wednesday, so I guess I probably would have been like "man, things always happen when you don't check," had I been strong enough to do it.
