guess maybe my SAT math score wasn’t high enough, guess I will never know why. This was my first waitlist or rejection. Was accepted to Northeastern and Virginia tech engineering…surprised by this decision…oh well…guess it wasn’t meant to be.
Does anyone not have the decision notice on their portal? I don’t see any decision anywhere. Where is everyone clicking to see their decision? Maybe it’s because I just made my portal account today…
Do you mean next to where it says banner or under that? Right now something says “You will be receiving an Applicant Checklist channel within 24 hours.” Maybe because I just created my account.
that could be…I think that is why they sent out a reminder email the other day to set up your account so you would be able to see the decision today. The Deans Message is on the left box and the Admission is on the right above the checklist box. You might have to wait to get decision.
you wont find out about the IBE or IDEAS programs until you get the letter (sorry i know i keep posting but I was this confused in november and wished someone had explained it to me) When i got the letter It says I got into the program in the first paragraph BEST OF LUCK!
