I’ve seen them release as late as 9:30pm est and even into Saturday… no idea if that will happen but the most we can do now is stay hopeful

I don’t want to give false hope and I’m not exactly sure what I heard, but I’m pretty sure the person who called me said they’re gonna “send out emails in a few days once all calls are made”.. so idk if today is the last day or not

Interesting…
 
i get the whole calling thing but tbh i'd rather it be like college admissions where they just say we're going to email all y'all at this date this time, and then you open the portal. im so anxious walking around just waiting.

For others as neurotic as me, two years ago people got calls till around 1 pm CT on Saturday… doesn’t seem like any were reported last year, though

For anyone who has attended any of the previous official campus visits, I know the email said "casual dress is completely acceptable," but what were people actually wearing? I don't want to be the only one showing up not wearing dress shoes lol.

People were typically business casual :).

If you are at all worried about them identifying you, they don’t even ask for your names. Truly has no bearing on admissions

In the same situation… I saw in past years there have been a few people in the February and March waves that interviewed early and were accepted but it doesn’t seem that common. Still holding out some hope tho :)

Does anyone know if second look is something the school pays for (housing, transport, etc) or is it out of our pocket?

Does anyone know if the merit scholarships are given out at time of acceptance? A scholarship would be so clutch but they didn't mention anything when they called so I'm hoping they are still deciding lol.

Do we think any other MSTP decisions will be released today? The silence is killing me....

Accepted OOS!! I hope this isn’t a mistake though, since I didn’t get a phone call. Did anyone else get accepted without a call?

whats the first couple sentences of your email? Because the verbiage in the email I got today references the phone call ina way, so if you got a different one + plus have a tab in your portal I think you are just fine

that wording had me EXTREMELY confused for like 30 seconds when I saw it lol
 
Accepted IS. LM 73.5. No phone call. Seconding gekyumewrld in hoping this isn’t a mistake. This is wild.

Hi everyone, I was one of those who got the call late :). For those who received the merit scholarship offer--- was this only over the phone or in the offer letter too?

Same..I also interviewed early November😭 But I remember admissions staff saying that ppl interviewing in Nov are kinda tight for first wave decision and it really depends on how fast our interviewers/reviewers submit their reports given the holidays. So she said even for the same day interviewees, the decision turnaround can be different!
