Who knows…
The finalist emails this year came out much earlier than last year. It seems that they have improved the system.
And, the Match round has less applicants than the Finalists round. Therfore, the Match results should come out even earlier(at least at the same time) than the Finalist ones.</p>
<p>pnptruong, that is definitely good reasoning.</p>
<p>However, the emails will not go out before the calls. It is reasonable to estimate a window of at least two hours between the calls and the emails, as last year the window was three hours. Even if not, we can’t expect emails before someone gets a call. So basically, all we’re waiting for is for someone to get a call.</p>
<p>Just wanted to drop in and say good luck to everyone! I’ve been following off and on since not making finalist, and i really hope as many of you as possible get matched! 
i’ll be checking back and hoping for good news!!</p>
<p>special luck to CO buddy pnptruong! hope you get matched! :)</p>
<p>@cellochick92: Thank you buddy! 
@applicannot:
Who told you there would be calls this year? Your QB contact? I read somewhere that there would be no calls this year.</p>
<p>Hope for the best, guys.</p>
<p>@applicannot:
never mind, my deduction is totally wrong: it’s 11:40 now and Ive not received any email.</p>
<p>Best luck to all. My question am I correct to estimate that about 12% of finalists will be accepted early decision and about 40% regular decision? Anyone know?</p>
<p>@applicannot, i have to second pnptruong. maybe it’s just a rare occurrence that calls occur. maybe, what, 10? and having 1/10 of the match recipients on here is very rare.</p>
<p>last year, finalist notifications came out later as well…</p>
<p>Where did you read there would be no calls? Did anyone from last year’s discussion get matched through an email?</p>
<p>coco, someone called qb and that’s what they said.</p>
<p>of course, they said that last year and calls still happened. so…</p>
<p>and yes. people did get matched through e-mails last year</p>
<p>shoot i didnt write my cell phone number on my application. crap
they would leave a message though i bet…</p>
<p>Just joined today, lol! maybe too late for advice. I am inspired by the energy! I wish I had known about this forum before the “8” were selected.</p>
<p>I think that if they were to call, they would call by house phone, which was required on our app.</p>
<p>Mia12 : let’s hang out @ java city if there’s a miracle today! :))))))</p>
<p>hahasassy, definitely! :)</p>
<p>Last year QB said there would be no calls as well, but there were calls. Yes, the number of students who get calls is small and the people who are called appear to be chosen arbitrarily. The word from QB is that QB team members can choose to call some of the Matchees (or all, I guess?) who were matched to their alma mater.</p>
<p>somebody got a joke please?!?! meanwhile waiting for the FINAL JUDGEMENT</p>
<p>Here’s a joke. Good luck everyone! :D</p>
<p>A computer scientist is walking along when he meets a frog that speaks to him. The frog says, “I’m really a princess, kiss me and I’ll turn into one” The computer scientist picks up the frog and puts it in his pocket. a few minutes later, the frog says, “I really am a princess, kiss me and i’ll turn into one and i’ll stay with you for a week!” the computer scientist pulls the frog out of his pocket, looks at it, smiles and puts it back in his pocket. a few minutes after that the frog speaks again. “I’m a princess! just kiss me and i’ll turn into one and i’ll stay with you for ever!” The computer scientist takes the frog out of his pocket and says “i’m a computer scientist, i don’t have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is so cool!”</p>
<p>1:00PM Central time</p>
