2023-2024 Arizona - Phoenix

[JukeBoxHeroo]

They’re accepting so slowly this year

It's intentional. In the interview they mentioned how research is showing them that the best way to fill their class without worrying about over accepting is to be more conservative with the As they give out at first. The Dean mentioned that being on hold/waitlist is a good thing.

Definitely don’t give up hope yet, it seems like this year they’re doing one AVD per month and send the II’s a couple weeks prior. And they interview through the end of February.

Do they reject people post-II here? Dr. Fogerty did mention that they try to reject people after interview asap out of consideration and courtesy so that applicants know where they stand in the cycle.

Anyone hear anything today yet?

 

[onwardsandupwards468]

Anyone hear anything today yet?

Nope nothing yet, I’ve been on hold since 10/16 haha

 

[GETBUCKETZ]

Nope nothing yet, I’ve been on hold since 10/16 haha

Do they continue to update every two weeks after putting someone on hold?

 

[onwardsandupwards468]

Do they continue to update every two weeks after putting someone on hold?

Yeah they send out the same email every 2 weeks if you’re still on hold

 

[ACLegan7]

Got the call!!! OOS A! Interviewed in Oct.

 

[GETBUCKETZ]

Got the A call!! First of the cycle!

 

[burneracc]

We thinkin calls for oct. interviews are done for the day?

 

[onwardsandupwards468]

I wonder how often they accept people off “hold” during the cycle or if the majority of holds get reevaluated during the waitlist period

 

[sdfwr312]

same T_T august interviewee here

 

[stanleybobanley]

[onwardsandupwards468]

Just got the hold email again too. Also interviewed 8/21

 

[burneracc]

10/30 interview, placed on hold. Seems like theyre sending out initial acceptances then will circle back to those on hold. Has anyone been accepted off of hold yet?

They send admission offers about every two weeks, with the current numbers:
30 (10/16) - Total 30
10 (10/23) - Total 40
20 (11/07) - Total 60

Unknown (11/20)

Last year, they sent about 180 offers with 120 acceptances, so we'll see!

Admissions tracker just updated to 74 admission offers, so looks like 14 were sent out today

 

[sdfwr312]

They've offered 315 interviews and given out 74 offers. 74/315= 23.5% of interviewers offered As so far

At the end of the cycle last year they gave out 513 interviews and gave out 167 offers. 167/513=32.5%

I think about 10-15% of people on hold (assuming they didn't reject anyone yet) will be offered acceptances. If half of the people on hold withdraw from this school, it may be more like 20-30% .

181 figure includes those pulled from the waitlist, I think. Using that, about 15% will be accepted

just got the WL/hold email again. interviewed 8/21

what does the email say? Does it say hold/WL verbatim? Im a bit confused if I am on hold or on CR since they gave me a date to hear back again from the committee.

+1 on 11/9. Haven't heard from them since... Anyone know if they will they send out Pre-II Rs? or just wait til the end of the cycle?

 

[PhoenixAZ]

I see from earlier postings that folks who interviewed in Oct had heard back with either acceptance or hold. I am wondering if everyone who interviewed in Oct have been notified. My cousin interviewed on 10/30 but she hasn't heard anything (no acceptance, hold, or reject call or emails). I am wondering if somehow she was missed by mistake or only part of the interview groups in Oct have been notified and the rest is still waiting. Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

 

[applied2toomanyschoolsxd]

good luck for us hearing back today : )

It depends on which interview group she was on. If she was in the first one, she would’ve heard back on the 20th of November and if she was in the second group, she will hear back today.

 

[Dragonite7]

A, interviewed 10/30.

 

[sdfwr312]

[onwardsandupwards468]

been on hold (August interview) and expecting another one today sigh :s

Yep me too and also expecting the same. Why do I get the feeling we won’t get a definitive decision until like February or March

There's a lot of people on hold rn and looks like they send 10-20 As (of which majority are from the newest interview date) for every decision date. Maybe once they complete their interviews in February?march? we will see more movements in the people in hold
