Academic acceptance?

<p>My D submitted her application mid-September and still hasn’t received a reply. It has said “Ready for Review” for about 6 weeks. When she calls the school they say it is in the pile. She has checked to confirm she will hear before her MT audition if she is accepted and they say yes. How fast has everyone else’s application been processed?</p>

<p>My D submitted in mid October and we heard about her acceptance (and generous scholarship) within just a few weeks. She also applied to the Honors College, though, so maybe the timing is different…?</p>

<p>I’m so sorry this hiccup is happening! I would hold tight and not fret about this situation. With the large amount of prospectives students looking at Ball State, I’m sure our admissions office is really swamped right now. Give it time, you should hear something soon! :)</p>

<p>My daughter is not an MT candidate (but my son attends BSU) and she applied early October and got her acceptance over the weekend. I would call your admissions rep and press the issue. You should’ve heard by now. You should talk directly to the rep that is specific to your area of the country, not just whoever answers the phone and explain why you need to know (for auditions). They can move you to the top of the “pile.”</p>

<p>My D applied a couple weeks ago and they have been sending emails with updates so if you haven’t heard I would at least shoot a quick email or a phone call.</p>

<p>You are right. I called and spoke to a super helpful, nice person in admissions who moved the application to the top of the pile and it got processed today - yeah!</p>

Great! I’m glad they straightened that out for you!</p>
