Yes, I know what you mean. extremes of sweet and sour!

I read somewhere that it's common for waitlisted applicants to hear in May and June. sometimes admitted students decide not to enroll last minute. I sure hope it doesn't come down to this though. too cruel.

I'm hanging in there, barely! Thanks for starting this post. I don't think I've ever known such stress before, and I worked in sales, marketing and HR at mutli-nationals! Keep the faith everybody!

yes, it's this week. it's my birthday today, so hopefully, it's also tonight

First rejection from the university of Utah. bummer!

yup.. February is when it all happens!

nope..just the eerie quiet

Hello Everyone, thanks for starting this thread. It's good to connect with fellow applicants. Now I''ll share my profile as well. It's probably not as good as it should be. but I'm shooting for the black swan here. Type of Undergrad: Pharmaceutical Sciences - Top University in Cairo, Egypt (GPA: 2.75) Type of Grad: MBA with a major in HR/Leadership and Marketing. Top Business School in Cairo, Egypt (GPA: 3.45) GRE: Score not out yet. but according to the averages, >1500 Research Experience: worked as a research assistant for a year didn't do much research but worked on many projects with the faculty. LORs: From the Dean of School of Business, the Chair of Management Department and the last one from the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies. They are supposed to be the top business scholars in Egypt, emphasis on supposed. SOP: I think it's well written. Schools: 11 programs (8 PhDs, 3 MAs) I went mainly with good fit regardless of school prestige. PhDs: Uni of Utah, Rutgers, UMich, Uni of Washington and others Masters: Queen's University. Tilburg University, Columbia QMSS. That's pretty much it. I know my profile is sub-par for most of these schools. but again, I think it's worth a shot. Good Luck to all of us.
