hello guys! does anyone know about the decision release process? it starts in april on a rolling basis?

3

I believe so. I think they specifically say 4-6 weeks after submitting your app you should have a decision on their website, but Im not 100% sure. The only thing that concerns me is that they give each person a unique reply deadline that is ~6 weeks after your decision, which could be before you get all of your decisions back from most places if youre applying to additional schools

Thank you!

I applied as a Neuroscience major on premed track

HS gpa: 3.9 uw/ 4.1 W (barely any APs but explained i took the max my HS offered)
College gpa: 3.9 (honors program) with 35 credits by the end of this semester

  • GPAs definitely not perfect, I had multiple Bs in high school (in honors/AP stem courses) and a B+ in college S1
    Did not submit any test scores

I’m a rising sophomore and currently enrolled at cc

My strengths were definitely my EC’s, essays, and recs. Most of my EC’s came from high school (currently just working part time 2 different jobs, one is in Neuroscience research lab) and these all had significant depth and a clear focus towards the career i wrote about pursuing in my essays.

If you want any specific answers about my EC’s, essays, etc Id be more than happy to provide any info i can to help via message!

Goodluck to everyone else applying! :slight_smile:
