I received the postcard but not an email. I almost forgot about the postcard and was worried that my application hadn’t gone through. I think they’re just very traditional because I haven’t heard anything about portals but main,y that you receive decisions by mail.
When AU says decisions are coming by April 1st, does that mean they can come out any time from now to then?
Last year some students were able to create an account on the AU portal showing their financial award on 3/21 and then decision letters started arriving in the mail on 3/22. Net I would expect something similar again this year - Wed 3/21 and onwards
am I the only one who didn’t receive any info on creating a portal just “your application to american university is complete” email
How important is the supplement essay? I didn’t do it because I felt my common app essay was strong enough.
@seniorhs123 I hate to tell you this, but it was really important. During the admissions session, we attended the counselor stressed that it was important to submit the supplemental essay. The supplemental essay indicates to the AC that you value the school enough to put the extra effort in applying. I really don’t want to cause undue stress to you, but I felt it was important to tell you this because future applicants may read this thread. The RD acceptance rate is 23%, so not submitting in the RD round significantly reduces the chance of acceptance (IMHO).
how are u supposed to know your AU ID number? I received the postcard and think i threw it out so i hope it wasn’t on there lolol
@fergie24x you should be able to go to the prospective student website and sign up with your email. if you use the same email as you did for your application, it should come up. if not, you can call the admissions office.
Just wondering, did anyone else for the Sakura Scholars program??
How do decisions come out? Email, snail mail, portal??
hi! according to their admissions twitter account, they’ll be sending them out via snail mail. they said everyone should have heard back by April 1st.
where do I find my AUID? I need to change my address and I need my AUID to fill out the form on the student portal.
Did anyone else receive this email from American?

@bschmitt18 Yes I got this email as well!
I got that email about the webinar today and the wording seemed positive. I just hope they’re not playing us by making it seem like we got in
I get a lot of generic webinar emails from American. This one seemed pretty basic as well. I wouldn’t read too much into it. Someone one another thread said they got the email and they didn’t even apply to American.
It should be at the bottom of all the emails you receive from them-- below the name of the person signing the email it says “Your AUID is ######.”
@snr2018 ^ re: finding AUID
aye at least decisons are coming out next week
