<p>I applied on the 5th of November and I checked and they already have all my app materials. Has anyone heard back yet? I'm just not sure how long it is supposed to take! (My major would be journalism btw if that would help)</p>
<p>I applied September 7th and heard back November 4th. Most kids hear in January - it doesn’t matter if you applied in September or November - but generally the ones with high stats and/or those in certain majors hear earlier. I don’t know about journalism in particular, but you should expect to hear in January and be pleasantly surprised if you hear before then. </p>
<p>Some people have heard back already. But it is a random process I hear and may go by major/school but it is hard to know. Either way some people get their decisions fairly quickly and others have to wait for the next few months until January. But to keep track of your status, this is a guide from a couple of years ago.</p>

<p>My application was considered complete on November 5th and I heard back 10 days later. It might also depend on your region too.</p>
