thats me, I called last week, several times to get any info out of em that I could... not much going on except that J Welch said she was going on vacation and that the list was moving but slowly. Also there are still people holding onto multiple acceptances but they usually have a few weeks to decide.... and that they had called "about" 50 people or so from the HP list thus far... but could not tell what movement could occur in the next few weeks. Doesn't 50 people sound like alot? I thought maybe I was in the top 50!?
That sounds right. We now know they were almost half-way through the list when you call last week. On a personal tangent, she told me I was in the 'grayer middle area.' What does that mean? I won't speculate... Regardless, my gut feeling is-- we just had a quick spurt and are moving into a refractory 'lag-phase' while these people make up their minds. (but of course I'm biased by what I see on SDN).
---> So far: Trizi*, Geek666*, MrBobool*. PatricaNJ, idq1i, Geldrop*, and Gryphon
BTW Davo, we all know the
true answer to this, but are the secretaries still saying yes or 'unpredictable' to hold-by-committee?

Well, if one doesn't mind living in a dorm again, then Clark tower does have rooms that have kitchens/kitchenettes. Clark has suites or studios (which have kitchens and full bathrooms), in addition to standard double rooms.
It's probably easiest just to live in Clark for your first year at this point, if you get off the HPA list.
I'll be living in a studio (double) in Clark.
I think geldrop should consider this too, since people who live in Clark can to keep their car in the garage for 33$ a month. Yea, dorm-life brings with it the tremendous opportunity to network and get to know fellow classmates -- going out downtown to Armory Sq. together on a weekend night, sharing copies of old exams , or even lecture notes, etc. Also the proximity to classes and the library is great.
And with all that being said the price isn't bad. But at 603$ a month for a studio at Clark, I can get a 1-bdrm with everything! (full kitchen and all the fancy appliances). This makes it a hard call. I guess it all depends on when they call, if ever. . .
Clark is looking more and more likely.. Unless I want to go crazy and spend 800$ a month. Of course, I could always work out of my car in the R-lot for a couple weeks.
