Hey teething,
I am still waiting for UW to contact me. I interviewed on December 9th and I haven't heard a word since (good or bad). I did go in and check the status of my application about a week ago. They said that my application had not gone to the committee yet. That means that my app. has been sitting for about six weeks now.
When you say you got the call, do you literally mean a phone call, or did you get a letter???
If you don't mind my asking...when did you interview?
Congratulations,
CA
