As a chronic WLer who interviewed here recently… how did those who got decisions feel post interview?

Begging for the A, knowing it’s gonna be another WL or R.

Anyone else get an email saying that after all the date shifts, admissions decisions will be released tomorrow, but not get any of the decision shift emails? I've been in my own little bubble thinking it was going to be the 5th, but apparently the dates have been continuously shifting.

I received an A as an OOS applicant, but I have ties to California so not sure if that helped. I do think I did pretty well during the interview though, but I think as OOS it's always a long shot as I believe their OOS post-II acceptance rate is lower than their IS post-II rate (according to admit at least).

What does a pre-ii hold even mean this late in the cycle?? This is just a soft R right??

Someone earlier here said pre-II hold is a soft R and basically no one ever gets an II from it. Similar sentiment on SDN :/

10-15% is the typical amount, but it varies year by year. Admissions staff said this after my interview.

If I remember, if we get accepted, it’s a call in the afternoon. Otherwise it’s an email

From previous years, it seems like calls/emails usually come out around 12PST/3EST. Good luck everyone!!
