Let me know my chances please! I’m so nervous, can’t wait to find out. good luck everyone!!!
i called the admissions office earlier today and the woman said that we would get an email when decisions were posted on the applicant link but that she wasn’t allowed to tell us the date/time they’d be released
I also called the admission office this morning. The guy told me that the decisions are posted before the 15th. And I asked should I be around on Friday, or weekend, he said I cant tell the exact date, but should around.
Hi guys! Have your applications been reviewed or has the message on your applicant link changed?
@nickb568 My status at the applicant link didn’t change. Its still “Thank you for your application to the College of Art and Science as an Early Decision candidate for the September 2016 semester. We will email you during the application review process if we are missing any required credentials for your application. You will be directed to check this page to see which credentials are not yet received.”
@nickb568 yea thats the same with me it’s still the same since I sent in all the required documents
My applicant link has said this for awhile: “Thank you for your application to the School of Education as an Early Decision candidate for the September 2016 semester. We will email you during the application review process if we are missing any required credentials for your application. You will be directed to check this page to see which credentials are not yet received.”
Did anyone turn in their first marking period senior year grades and still have this message: “Please note that all students are expected to submit senior year grades. If you have not already done so, please arrange for your counselor to send them as soon as they are available”?
I’m getting so nervous to find out!
apr012 I sent my first quarter grades early November and then again December 1st since I got an email saying that they haven’t received them yet and it still has the same message. It doesn’t say anything specific about missing credentials, so I assume we’re in the clear? Unless other people don’t have the same message…
I called them to make sure they had my first quarter grades and they said they have them! We’re probably all good, then.
The past few years decisions for ED have came out the friday before the 15th around 3pm so hopefully you will all hear by the 11th! good luck to you all!
My applicant link just now changed to “thank you for your application, we’ll email you if we’re missing anything, be sure to submit your senior grades if you haven’t done so yet”, etc. Before, it was all it really said was that my application was complete and to keep checking back to make sure everything has been received.
