Insanely tense.

Anyone know if they call international numbers?

Oh God! How are you guys handling this stress? I'm through with my nails ans starting on my fingers now.

 

[drunknwild]

I am halfway through a bottle of Johnny black. Just kept it aside. Will finish it either in depression or celebration now.

 

[sk_mfin]

I'm following your lead! Good Luck Mate

Maybe bookmark the tracker and keep refreshing every 30 seconds to see if any MIT trackers change color

I think that the 10 things to do while waiting for admission result should be on the next version of the QuantNet Guide. It´s a great article.

something very frustrating just happened- i study in the UK (and am there currently) and put my home + home mobile (singapore) numbers on my application. my mom received a call on my home phone from someone at MIT, but before she could give them my UK number the person said they would email me and hung up! she didn't even tell my mom if i got in or not! anyone received any calls?

Imran can you share your profile if you don't mind?

 

[ImranJ]

umm.. from cambridge uni, doing a joint undergrad degree in economics, environment and law, gre quant 170, verbal 166, writing 5; on track for double first class honors, varsity sportsman- what else do people write in these things?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

First admit showing up on Tracker now

 

[Jake_Shah]

@ImranJ- you probably got in. i dont think they call people who don't get in

 

[ImranJ]

have not received an email yet though- this is killing me!

 

[Derekchen]

they call European applicants first? I am still waiting

 

[Jake_Shah]

email will be sent out after 5pm ET i assume. they will finish calling everyone who got in before that.

 

[drunknwild]

I guess the best applicants who got a scholarship are called first..

 

[Dennis Choi]

Last year an admit got a phone call after the email so everybody don't just jump to conclusions that a call must come before the notification. Relax.

 

[ImranJ]

got in- with a 30k scholarship! so psyched!

 

[Derekchen]

got in- with a 30k scholarship! so psyched!

Via phone call? are you in U.S? what's your background?
