When do we think notifications go out?

When do we think notifications go out?

We're obviously well past the data we have on our acceptance statistics page of February 16.

BTW - I'm updating the software to add a "Latest" statistic on that page too so it'll show the latest date of a notification in a calendar year. Hopefully, that change will be ready soon.

Initial offers go out mid march! I'm guessing with how many accept/decline determines second / third round offers.

I don't recall there being third or fourth-round offers. Usually, it's acceptance first day then the waitlist, and then rejections second day.

Could be today or tomorrow and if it doesn't happen this week then next week for sure! How'd your interview go?

I'm hoping decisions go out this week!! I noticed that USC goes out on Spring Recess all of next week, but I'm not sure if that affects decisions.

oh, they're definitely coming out today or tomorrow then lol! I doubt the staff will work during spring break, maybe they will who knows.

I asked Bailey from the Stark office and she said initial offers would be out mid-March. Final admissions decisions would be end of March.

has it always been like this or is the process a bit delayed this year?

I think they're behind a bit this year.

They always say that since they can't reveal the dates. If it's not today, its gotta be tomorrow. Past 3 years, it's always been end of the second week of march.

 

[franklin12]

I think they're behind a bit this year.

Definitely could be, but I don't underestimate them. They're usually really good. Might be Monday or Tuesday of next week if the worst comes worst.

i wish we knew an exact date. the uncertainty is stressing me out lol. can’t focus on life rn
