<p>On the portal, it says its missing my M&T essay even though they have my form 1c? Anyone else have this</p>
<p>nope, i’m all in.
have you tried calling?</p>
<p>yes, they say if were missing smthing well call you. but im worried! 10,14 or so days</p>
<p>Don’t be worried. They would have contacted you if something was legitimately wrong. All the dual degree decisions have already been made, anyway. Their filing is just slow, which makes sense because it’s a new system as far as I know.</p>
<p>how to u know the dd deciosns were made? why cant we see them?</p>
<p>Joint degree program decisions go through a slightly different process than single-degree program decisions. First admissions officers remove clear rejects/deferrals and those who are clearly not fit for the joint degree program. Next the program’s advisor and associated directors pick who gets into the program. Then the rest goes back to the regular admissions officers for single-degree final decisions (admit or defer). I believe the joint degree programs made decisions during the week before Thanksgiving break, and the regular admissions committee should be making final decisions right now.</p>
<p>As for your second question, nobody will be able to view their decision until the release date (Dec 15 or whatever it is this year), but they definitely finish making decisions at least a couple days early so they can prepare mailings and perhaps tabulate statistics.</p>
<p>theoneo: Im applying M&T and my sat score jumped from 2200 to 2380. i rushed my second-sitting SAT score to penn, who recieved it on the 21st of nov…:S would that have been early enough to reach them BEFORE they made a decision for me…</p>
<p>theoneo, I don’t think the program’s advisor/associated directors actually pick who gets into the programs. I asked the assistant director of Huntsman about that when I visited, and she said they look at the top applicants (like you said, admissions has the first look) and they give their say, and then admissions, taking into account the program-people, make their decisions. Though I guess that’s not <em>that</em> different from what you said.</p>
<p>bat - I don’t know. If they knew it was coming I would imagine there was a note in your file and they were looking out for your score. But a 2200 is not an auto-reject-worthy score anyway. I really can’t say anything for sure.</p>
<p>scribbler91 - Perhaps it’s a little different with LSM because it’s such a new program and the admissions officers aren’t as comfortable setting their own standards for applicants. I imagine that it isn’t as strictly black-and-white as I described. But at least for LSM the advisor and two faculty directors meet with admissions officers for a full week and certainly has a significant influence on program decisions. I would also imagine it depends greatly on the personalities of the advisors and directors and how much time they want to invest in the admissions process.</p>
<p>haha screw you i applied with a 2040. I am not saying i will get in, but there are things more important than SAT scores, and when I apply for a job they aren’t going to ask what SAT score I got. “2200 is not a worthy score” pshh thats a great score and puts you in the upper echelon of score, coupled with good extracurriculars that is spectacular.</p>
<p>Clarification: “a 2200 is not an auto-reject-worthy score” = “a 2200 will not automatically put you in the rejection pile” = “that’s a good score”</p>
<p>And by the way, depending on the industry you pursue, you may be required to list your SAT score on your resume.</p>
<p>haha i feel dumb… sorry about that…</p>
<p>do they superscore?</p>
<p>yes, they do superscore</p>
