@usualhopeful you’re right 100%, doesn’t matter!

Let’s just keep our fingers crossed for the notification, that does matters.

Step 4 right now! Good luck everyone!!

Everyone probably know this, but just in case: make sure all your financial aid documents are in including any required by IDOC if tagged for that- if they are not all in that will delay your possible acceptance.

Does UoR announce in the first week of march or is it second week?

Just got a decision but can’t access the page

@t19305 My friend also got an email notifying him that his decision was out. I haven’t gotten the email yet. My dashboard isn’t loading though.

mine still says I’m on step 3… I’m not anticipating get my decision anytime soon

Got an email saying I have a decision, but the page still isn’t working. Is there anything to do?

I’m having the same issue as @t19305 and @ekb1998. Now I’m just nervous knowing that it’s there and not being able to see. :-/

I contacted them and this is what they said, in case anyone was wondering:

A number of Admissions decisions were just sent out, and the volume of students checking their accounts has unfortunately caused problems with our system. We are very sorry for the inconvenience, and are working on fixing the problem as quickly as possible.

I’m in the same boat as many of you- got the email, but the page isn’t loading for me. Good luck to everyone, and I hope the issue is resolved soon!

Hey, did recipients of the email apply to one of the special programs e.g. GEAR, REMS, etc.?

I spoke to admissions. Their IT department is working on it and I was told you should be able to get results before bedtime tonight.

I got an email but didn’t apply to any special program

Has anyone had any luck logging in yet?

@caty122333 I was just able to get through. It took a long time (15-20 min.), but I got to see the whole page. My son is still on step 3. He has not received an email yet. Good luck to you all!

Was able to login, still on step 4 (been there since early jan), so I guess not everyone’s decision is up

I got an email that the decision is available. I also applied to REMS but was not invited for an interview. I was in step 4 for more than 3 weeks. My dashboard is still loading…
