Recommendations: probably pretty strong, I know one of them was really really strong

Essay: Average.

@Lionstransfer3 you sound like a pretty strong applicant! I value your honesty about your essay. However, in my research regarding the holistic application process, everything goes into account. Therefore, even if your essay was average don’t be discouraged in the least. Not everyone is an immaculate writer and your grades speak for themselves. I have a pretty good feeling about your chances.

Today’s the (maybe) day! Hopefully some of us will become baby commodores :slight_smile:

Is it just me, or us everyone been crazy anxious all day?

Has everyone*

Definitely not just you, @Jameson5!

@Jameson5 Had a couple of tests today, so been focusing on that. But, now that I’m finished, yes the anxiety is back.

Hope you did well on the tests!

You all are not alone I’ve been checking my email all day!

No news…

Nothing here yet either.

Nothing yet

Are the decisions typically only released between 5-6 pm? Or can they come later than that?

Its most likely every Monday, gonna have to sit tight for a while longer

Guys, it could take months for some of you to hear back. It would really be in your best interest to just relax and wait for the email. There is no sense in being stressed from now until June over hoping that you will hear back on any particular day.

@MJP2018 true. Its less stress, and more anticipation. Though to be honest, I might be inclined to stay put at my current school in the end anyways.

It probably will be Monday. A lot of recruiters were out of the office including mine, because they are having welcome receptions for all the Freshmen.

I was waitlisted on April 6th if that helps.

@collegebound666 would you mind posting your stats.
