This is all new to us and we are running into every school being different so this site has been a huge help. Can anyone tell me if this is normal. My DS received an email from a school he applied to in November asking if he is still interested and if so to be sure to upload all documents.
He responded yes he is and they said he would have an answer next week. This is his top choice school, when he toured & met with admissions they said if he applied before Dec. 1st he would know by end of year, then it was January 19 now they are asking if he is still interested!!
It sounds like the school may be missing some information they need to make a decision. Have your DS login to the portal to see what is missing. If it’s not obvious something is missing, have him reach out to his regional AO. They could be waiting for first semester grades, GC and/or teacher recs, test scores…
I emailed them last week asking if they could clarify decision but didn’t use his name. Coincidentally he gets that email asking if still interested. He checked his status, shows all documents are received so he responded then they came back with he would hear by end of week.
Today, I got another email saying they won’t be making decisions until end of February / early March which seems so late! I don’t know what to think. I guess we just wait, if it wasn’t his top choice it would make it easier.
