I got my email yesterday and had to make my choice as well. After careful consideration and everything I went with St. Louis as well. I will tell you I called OKC yesterday and asked to be put into the PEPC for next week in Chicago and I am on for Thursday next week. I would call and ask, it worked for me. I guess we will be hitting St Louis together.
My plan is to call OKC and ask for a slot in the Chicago PEPC next week. I hope they have availability. I don't want to spend the money to fly to LA in June plus another month of waiting.
Timeline:
OTS back in June/July of 07 for every announcement
AT-SAT 10th or 11th of December with results (well qualified) about a week later
Referral for Michigan in Feb 08 but declined that basically put me dead in the water until yesterday's e-mail
I still have a ways to go to get to OKC but things are definitely looking up. If anyone is interested in trading St Louis for Memphis or Tampa please let me know.
