D just got her ED2 decision and if its any help, the date they post is the latest date that they send the acceptance letters out by US Mail. It then takes a few days to receive depending on geography. We are on the WC, we understand mailings were sent on Friday the 12th, we received the letter on the 16th and the stated sending date was the 15th.
@ellesea No worries. Just so exciting. I twitted AUAdmissions asking for an update regarding the Global Scholar “round 2” decision. No response yet.
@ellesea Good Lord I meant to say “tweeted” LOL!
Pretty sure that DD14 was told results would be mailed out and I found out the results earlier on the portal but kept it a secret until she received the big envelope so I wouldn’t be surprised if results this year are the same (unofficially on the portal) - though they may have changed that…
@myjanda Are you referring to the Global Scholars “round 2” decisions? I understand the RD decisions won’t be published (mailed) for a while.
@HappyFace2018 - I am speaking about our regular admission experience for D1 in 2014.
@myjanda Gotcha. We are still trying to figure out GS “round 2” decisions. GS website says 2/16/16 but no confirmation yet.
Did everyone see the email with the “application review update?” If anyone didn’t, the news is that “We will notify you the week of March 7 as to our expected Regular Decision mailing date.” Less than 3 weeks until we know when decisions will be sent!
@HappyFace2018 sorry about that - I was answering a post upthread a bit but should have been more clear in my response. Good luck all.
@papaannaxoxo and @gonewiththeair I called Admissions today regarding Global Scholars 2nd round notifications. I was informed that email notifications have not gone out yet. I didn’t ask when they would be out.
For anyone who applied to the Frederick Douglass Program- I emailed them regarding 2nd round notifications, and they informed me that applicants should hear something by Friday, February 26.
@Elevey1 I talked to my rep this morning and she said it would come out in the “next could days” (meaning today or tomorrow). And that they actually chose the finalist for FDDS Wednesday night. No idea what’s true-- just passing info.
They did choose FDDS Finalists or Semifinalists earlier this week, and sent out rejection emails as well.
Rejection emails? I thought AU only did decisions by snail mail? Or is that only acceptances? Anybody know? Thanks!
@Hopefull16 They’re talking about acceptances/rejections for special AU programs they applied for, not actual admission decisions.
Once again, D14 received her regular admissions acceptance via snail mail at the end of March BUT I had already seen the acceptance on the website, so unless they’ve changed it since then, it isn’t publicized but it does happen
While the Global Scholars website says “round two” decisions would be published on 2/15/16, my D has received nothing.
@HappyFace2018 I emailed the Global Scholars program about the notification date. They informed me that the information from the website is outdated and that there isn’t a second round this year. Applicants will find out whether they were accepted in the beginning of April.
@Elevey1 Thank you so much. I should have read your post before I just called them. They told me the same thing. Wonder how many applicants believed the information on the website is correct.
@Elevey1 Funny, I just clicked on the link I previously posted and it’s been updated.
