<p>I’m also coming in as a transfer and haven’t gotten anything. My status is still pending. My friends who applied straight from high school said:</p>
<p>“they dont send an email. they list your status on web advisor, and the status changed to approved. then like two weeks later i got the packet in the mail :)”</p>
<p>so im guessing the people who get the decision complete around now are getting wait listed and people who find out later are being accepted or rejected. If you are applying for the film school, you need to remember there aren’t a ton of spots and your file needs to go through Chapman and Dodge as well. </p>
<p>hold in there guys, we will find out soon enough.</p>
<p>Here is where it gets really annoying. My son got his waitlist letter on April 16th. It was dated the 9th (again, what sort of mail service are these people using? 7 days for a letter to arrive!) In the letter it says you have ten days from receipt of this letter to state your intentions. That means if he wants to craft a thoughtful letter and get feedback from the admission people, perhaps the regional counselor, he has three days (two of which were a weekend when admissions are closed) to make up his mind how he wants to approach things and get the letter out. I find this completely insensitive to the kids. As someone else said, what does this say more broadly about the college, how it is run and how much it cares about these young people? It certainly isn’t their shining hour and has completely disillusioned me. And I won’t even go into the horribly cliche, dreary, saccharine videos on youtube of accepted students- there I would really spew!</p>

If it says that he has 10 days from receipt of letter that means he has until April 26 which is a week away, not three days.</p>
<p>Sorry, not receipt of the letter, date of the letter… so three days, two of which were a weekend, and the weekday he received it, friday, he got the letter when our postman delivered at 3PM. So he had until this morning to state his intentions. Just shoddy, poor admissions management.</p>
<p>Our waitlist letter was dated April 9, received on April 15. It also said he had ten days from the <em>date of the letter</em> to accept a place on the waitlist. He emailed the specified party on the 15th, the day the letter was received and–get this!–received an autoresponder notice from the specified party that said he was “out of the office until April 12.” (April 12 being three days earlier.)</p>
