I’ve seen threads on here for past years, and with the first Fall 2015 deadline coming up tomorrow I figured why not start the 2015 admissions thread.
Yeah, why not~ International applicant here, who really really want to get in GS :))
Not many people weigh in…. Have you guys started the essay? @xiao97 @ccp2lps
@nrivera12 I have submitted the application before Jan.15th for a March 1st decision, and I guess @ccp2lps is the same.
@xiao97 @nrivera12 I have completed my essay and submitted my app this week. I should receive my decision on March 1.
I also hit the Jan. 15th deadline; good luck to everyone else who applied. Does anyone know if the decisions are sent out on March 1st, or if the admissions for the Jan. 15th deadline are rolling?
I believe its both. There are specific decision dates for both early action deadlines ( 3/1 decision for 1/15 deadline and 5/`1 decision for 3/1 deadline). I think its rolling for those who apply between or after deadlines, hence the “6-8 week” decision timeline.
swing by and leave my paw mark here!..
Have you guys checked “Track Your Application”? The status of my transripts is still “Not Yet Received/Processed”. My high school counselor mailed them on Jan. 3rd though… All other materials are received.
And it is weird that the “Application Management” of GS website tells differently: My high school transcripts are “Received” there, but SAT/TOEFL score says “Awaiting”…
I guess I would just wait for a few more days and if the transcripts are still not received next week, I will call them.
Xiao: I wouldn’t worry, I think there’s just a delay in updating the system to reflect material that they’ve received. Some of my transcripts weren’t showing up but were all updated this morning to show they had been received (I requested one weeks ago and was worried it was never sent; wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened to me).
Does anyone know if GS is receptive to students who reapply after being rejected?
I’ve completed everything on my application, and took the SAT Sunday. Here’s to hoping!
@kennebec22 I think re-application is good because it shows them your determination. I’ve read about someone who got in the second time. Good luck!
I am a international GS applicant and i am from China. Does anyone know about the interview? Does anyone get invited to it? I’ve got little confused about the interview cuz i got different info
Thx
@eddnyc Good luck to you as well! Haven’t heard anything yet, but I’m definitely nervous, considering my options if I get rejected. Has anyone else who applied early been asked to interview?
@Kennebec22 Did someone already get an interview invitation?
@eddnyc sorry that was worded poorly haha; I don’t know of anyone who has been asked to interview.
Has anyone who hit the January 15th deadline been asked to interview?
@kennebec22 I submitted my application a few days before the January 15 deadline, but my decision is going to be delayed a week or two because there was a snag with my app. But to answer your question, I haven’t received an interview request. I think they’ve already started the review process though.
Just counted days and today marks five weeks from Jan. 15, meaning decisions should start rolling out towards the end of next week.
