<p>Ahh thats so nervewracking! I might just turn my phone off and stare at my computer screen. Not sure which one is worse, waiting for a phone call or waiting for an email! And ugh thats too bad :frowning: at least they send out emails though</p>

<p>Yes the calls come on Friday also</p>

<p>@kei04086 were you an applicant last year?</p>

<p>Lol, my essays were so bad that iā€™m not even nervous /sadlife</p>

<p>Idk if my essays were goodā€¦ Only one other person read them!</p>

<p>@persondontexistā€Œ No Iā€™m applying this year but a friend of mine went last year</p>

<p>@PrincessFaerie Mine,tooā€¦</p>

<p>Does anyone know anything about the admissions committee? Are they professors? </p>

<p>If they call you, do they leave a message if you donā€™t pick up? :open_mouth: Also, excited for results! :slight_smile: Best of luck to all!</p>

<p>Iā€™d assume so! </p>

<p>1 day!! so nervous</p>

<p>Iā€™m trying to get my hopes down.</p>

<p>I think the essays are really Imporyant so not feeling too goodā€¦</p>

<p>I feel like I might be unoriginal since all of the non URMā€™s probably chose the diversity essay as I did and tried to write about it. I tried to show me and my willpower through it but no idea if it could be perceived as rude for hating the system at hand for increasing diversityā€¦ :/</p>

<p>Iā€™m non-URM (middle eastern) and chose the EC prompt :)</p>

<p>Does anyone know when the calls go out (if accepted)? </p>

<p>I also chose the EC promt.
I guess it all depends on who read the applications and what they think of it.
I hope Iā€™m not too disappointed when I get rejected! And I probably wonā€™t even be home during the time they send out the emails, so if my parents donā€™t inform me of a phone call when I get home Iā€™ll automatically know I didnā€™t get in! </p>

<p>@graceunderfireā€Œ you literally had to go to the previous page ā€¦</p>

<p>@ankwen what EC did you write about? :)</p>

<p>@kei04086ā€Œ I think graceunderfire was wondering about a specific time rather than just tomorrow. (i.e. emails are released tomorrow at 5 PST, but calls are released tomorrow at _______)</p>
