<p>graj08,</p>

<p>when did you recv your acceptance? congratulations!</p>

<p>Here is a "prediction": if there is a new wave of acceptances, we will find out in EXACTLY 60 minutes, at 2:40pm PST, when the mailman hits the SoCal streets.</p>

<p>I know, I know, I am just wasting electrons :-)</p>

<p>I'm praying theres a wave and I'm praying the people accepted went to "in review" around 2-22 =P</p>

<p>The magic time has come and gone... Oh well, there is always next week :-(</p>

<p>lol wait out the evening. Last weekend decisions were mostly posted later in the evening.</p>

<p>Nope, the big burst started at 2:49PM PST, by 3:30PM there were 5 decisions posted on this thread. I would bet you lunch, but you are in OH :-)</p>

<p>Yeah, now is definately too late :( oh well, hopefully next week?</p>

<p>hopefully next week.......I hate waiting</p>
