Applications that are postmarked or become complete after December 15 are considered on a space-available basis beginning in March, after all applications submitted by the priority deadline have been considered. If your complete application was received after December 15 but prior to March 1, your decision will be mailed by April 15. If your complete application is received after March 1, your decision will be mailed within six weeks from your complete date. Please note that after December 15, space is very limited and admission is more competitive.

I think your chances would have been greater if you applied before Dec 15th as myself. Your admission now will be considered on a space-avialable basis and will hear by April 15th.</p>

<p>Other than your grades, you are very active etc… which will help alot.</p>

[Cody2010]

<p>That sucks. I had all my supporting documents in by like the end of November, but I didn’t submit the online application until 1-2-10. Am I still considered to be “after” the deadline?</p>

<p>Think about it…</p>

[Coolbrezze]

<p>you will be considered as spce avialable basis, which is horrible</p>

<p>I was admitted to the U and we have pretty much the exact same credentials, basically the same test scores, both ran for four years, and I applied in film. I would say that you have a really good chance of being admitted.</p>
