Hey everyone! I thought that I’d make a page for Regular Decision at American so we could all talk!
Hello! thank you for making this thread. AU is my top choice and I’m so excited to get replies! Does anyone have any idea when they are said to send out acceptances?
Last year RD acceptance letters were mailed on 3/20 and people started receiving them 3/22 and posting on here. Some were able to create a student account on myau.american.edu with their AUID earlier than 3/22 that showed they had been accepted and they could see the financial awards as well - but not everyone could do this. Rejections and wait listing letters came a day or two later than 3/22.
Net I would anticipate something similar this year week of 19th of March.
I’ve heard that about a week before the letters are mailed out you receive an email saying you have good news coming
Thanks so much, that’s super helpful. Even just a general idea of when I should start running to the mailbox every day is great haha
Late March @meyersonmakeup
Really excited! Hope I got in! I love AU so much!
Do the honors program acceptances come at the same time as the regular acceptances?
do RD applicants usually do interviews? I think my friend said she got an email about one and I’m worried that I did not receive one
Some Admission Counselors will offer interviews. They are not mandatory and are non-evaluative. My son had one and it was more intense than he thought it would be. I don’t think it will hurt your chances that you did not interview. Have you demonstrated interest by visiting? Or keeping in contact with your AR?
My S18, who applied RD, hasn’t received a notification from AU yet, although Common App showed submission was complete and timely. Have other applicants received emails or portal links? If so, how long after submitting their application?
@pickledginger I got a letter or postcard the next week, then I just got an email this week. I think it is the only school where I didn’t get any portal information. Is this the same as other’s experiences?
you’ll get a portal eventually. i think i got mine within a few weeks
Hmm I didn’t get a portal or a postcard/something in the mail. I however did get emails for the interviews. I signed up for the interview this sunday!
@BurningSmirk did you sign up for an interview somewhere? I never saw that.
Please chance me for RD!

@terp22222 I don’t know much about chancing people but I gotta say that seems like a very impressive resume! I hope you get in 
I applied RD to AU and received a postcard in the mail about applying but have yet to receive any emails in reference to me applying. So they send decisions by mail?
Is there anyone else who hasn’t gotten a portal link? @clairemiles is that the situation you are in? I got a postcard right after applying, but nothing else.
I’ve heard people in the past could create an au account with their ID number in the most previous email sent, can anyone do this? I can’t and am taking it as I did not get accepted
