Hellooooo

What do we think WL movement will look like here? Also did anyone get that weird email lol about fin aid and getting accepted, only for that to be a mistake?

Yup lol I am WL but got that one which opened with "congratulations on your acceptance" but it was a mistake... sad

Hopefully a lot 😭

I know same. Msar states that 250 people will be put on the WL… wondering if WL movement will start earlier or in may

do we think they're done with interviews for the cycle?

When are next decisions coming out?

should be tomorrow, they've been releasing decisions every fridayy

Oh ok, hm wonder when they'll get to the mid Feb interview decisions

Í interviewed this week and they said they we’re backed up and to give 4-8 weeks after interview for a final decision.

I would sssume there’s still some hope?? Secondary deadline hasn’t even hit yet right?

Yeah ok thanks!!

i interviewed 2/12 and this 4-8 week decision timeline sounds miserable

As someone who interviewed on 1/29, YES.....

Omg praying you get good news tomorrow

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yeah having to wait until the end of April is not exciting.

Does anyone know what time usually they send out decisions?

I'm assuming they're sending decisions out today because they said 4 weeks, and seems from the past they release decisions on Friday.

Hi! Anyone who interviewed in December still waiting on a decision? I see that they've released some on Friday but also WL people already. I got an email three weeks ago saying I was still under consideration and they haven't made a final decision.

I interviewed mid-december and got that email 3 weeks ago too. I sent an update letter (conference posters/more volunteer hours) but I never even heard if they received it :/

I wonder how that works. I interviewed in December and got accepted into the first batch.

Anyone on WL get fin aid email again? Lol

Did you send an email? I put a LOI in my portal and then also sent an email with it attached and they responded that they received it.

Okay maybe this is copium but... I saw on sdn that some people that interviewed the same date as me (1/23) heard back if they were waitlisted or rejected last Friday, but I heard nothing. Chat, is it crazy to think that not hearing yet is a good thing?? Only interview this cycle, I am begging the universe to not make me apply again :')

Same I had 3 II but haven't heard back from any yet I'm begging i don't have to apply again

Damn, really surprised to hear that esp with your stats!

Yeah idk what i did wrong tbh. Probably didn't apply broadly enough. I just applied to places I wanted to go to lol bad move

Best of luck to you! If i don't hear back I guess we'll be back here next year haha 😭

I feel like you have a good chance of coming off a WL!

Would it be better to upload an update letter before or after a decision? I interviewed with them two weeks ago and I have a couple of volunteer activities that I started a week ago that I'll be continuing for a good bit, but didn't know when it was best to mention them in a letter

I read that the optimal time to send a letter after interview is a month, so as to not seem to eager. But tbh, who knows

Before, try to send within the next two weeks.

Someone else told me that they recommend sending a letter of interest now, then if I’m waitlisted, sending them an update letter with my volunteer activities. What are your thoughts about that vs. doing a one letter that’s a mixture of both within the next 2 weeks?

Honestly, that makes sense. Or maybe other way around 🤷🏽‍♀️ or send both now, then letter of intent later

Ahh I'm not sure what the best approach is. Do you think now is still too soon to send one, or would it be fine to send something now? Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Send it a little later (2 weeks). Don’t want to seem desperate, but Also dont want to be late missing any committee meeting

Thank you for your response! Idk if you saw my other message but in 2 weeks, do you think I should send a letter that's a combination of a letter of interest and updates, or should I do what the other person recommended (letter of interest first, then update letter if waitlisted)?

Did anyone, who interviewed on 1/29, super nervous about tomorrow…

What’s tmr? Decisions?

They usually release decisions on Friday

Me personally, I’m impulsive so I’d send something now

That’s how I am lol. I think maybe I’ll send a letter next week. Thank you all for your help and I’m praying for good news for everyone tomorrow!

It looks like one person got off WL today. I submitted a letter of intent in February so crossing my fingers….

anyone in a similar boat

idk if it's the same person but I saw someone on sdn get accepted off WL today. I sent a LOI this week so praying for a spot. Fingers crossed for both of us!

When did you interview? Trying to figure out which group is getting decisions today.

1/23, afternoon session. Some people from 1/23 interviews heard back last Friday though

I interviewed 2/12 so ig too much to wait for anything today?

Yeah, I'd think to give it a few weeks!
