HAHAHA I am one of those "lurkers" who reads stuff and is always like...eh I should post...and then I don't. At this point, I am just going mildly insane and it cracked me into the club.
From: Florida (reason for the o so annoyingly spelled name). Went to Penn
Going to: Northwestern...

Haha, I will call definitely. Tomorrow though. Gonna wait until this evening passes before I bother them 🙂

I think that's fair. We should all call tomorrow.

EDIT: The Facebook group has 63 students, whatever that means.

We are the Borg. Lower your shields, and surrender your ship. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service ours. Resistance is futile.
 
Tomorrow might be a bigger day than today. If they didn't really do much work during the weekend, today's the day they are tallying the students who are matriculating and figuring out how many need to be taken off the waitlist. Hope for some good news for tomorrow.
 
On a happier note...I was just taken off the waitlist for.....Birthright Israel! Haha, so I'm spending 10 days in Israel this July and definitely quitting my job a few days before I leave. Woot!

Hm, not sure if that's available for free. But I do remember hearing that they're working on a version for Facebook, which probably will be free.

In the meantime, may I interest you in some Starcraft 2 Beta? :laugh:

Lol do you have an extra beta key?
 
haha, i can't decide if i'd rather believe that it's:
a) a fake post and waitlist movement hasn't actually started yet (and maybe won't ever) or
b) a real post that means the waitlist isn't really moving much at all this year

i should probably just go with option c) don't read too much into it and not worry about it

Lol, come to think of it. He/she did get WL on April Fools. So maybe a cruel lurker preying on our neuroticity?

But I'd like to take option c too.

I predict this afternoon. Seems right to me.

It does feel like the right day. Yesterday they had time to compile the withdrawals from Friday. I think if the don't make waitlist offers today then either: 1. There isn't going to be much waitlist movement or 2. It'll happen in a completely unpredictable manner based upon some other factor beyond our understanding.

Hopefully something to brighten up this rainy day?
 
I may or may not have just sent an email to someone in the admissions office. So anxious and neurotic haha.
 
Not to be that girl, but I just got a missed code from 650 area code? I think its san fran though not Palo Alto... plus I'd assume a message would be left, right?
