On Adea guide it said only about 350 interviewed altogether minus 260 that's about 90 on waitlist then you have about 120 post dec that's alittle over 200 then u subtract the amount of people that declined waitlist, got rejected after interview, I would say about 200 people on waitlist

Definitely this. Speculation will drive everyone wild. The waitlist moves fast, and they said everyone who interviews pre-dec has a real good shot. Let's just leave it at that and wait

In the end... we'll end up where we're meant to be.
Accepted on not, it'll all work out in some way or another.

Let's not overthink this and just hope for that phone call. :)

Does anyone's portal still say "received/under review" and not have an interview with them? I read that interviews are over but I just find it odd that I haven't heard a peep from them as to a rejection yet either

I guess they have enough applicant this year since they are done interviewing compared to last years may interview...
 
Does anyone know how many calls he will roughly make the first day he starts calling??
I remember Dr. Jeffers said something about it during my interview but I don't remember the estimate he gave.

yea but I think those were the selected people that get accepted right after the interview rather than being on the waitlist first. They were the needle in a haystack that shined. The next official round of acceptances is early march. (source: admissions)

yep. Remember how Dr. Jeffers said they save so and so number of spots just for the late interviewers? That's that I'm pretty sure. 2 weeks left!! Anyone ask admission how many seats are filled at this point?

how many is he saving? not fair!!!!!!! no point to apply early!
 
whats the point of being private school when they only take instate and canadians??

I don't think they ONLY accept those students. I've seen some CA residents get accepted in earlier pages. Maybe it happens to be that canadians or a few in states had better overall stats this cycle? I doubt they would look at a well rounded student but OOS and say, hmmm this guy is from Ohio so lets reject him. (idk where Ohio came from but came to mind)
 
anyone call and ask how many seats are filled? I forgot to ask that when I called and now gotta head to work.
 
Just got added to waiting list. Interviewed on last day, 2/6/16. There were roughly 50 of us there.

Bottom line: they determined the applicants they called last week fit their criteria better than those they have yet to call. Everyone on the waitlist had their chance to impress so I don't think it was unfair by any means. If anything, those that interviewed early had the advantage of not having to be initially compared to the later interviewees/have to deal with a larger total interviewee pool.

they give false hope thats the problem. they claim 5 ppl didn't get in and 20 ppl didn't get in 2014 and 2015 respectively. i personally had a great interview and had to spend couple hundred dollars. I'm not saying they should accept everyone but they should be doing some detail screening application before sending out massive interview ppl they are not even going to accept. waste of time and money. you don't need to specifically attack me and assume i didn't impress them. everyones situation is bit different.

False hope? You're not entitled to an acceptance at the school because you interviewed.

I think they were just being objective and not attacking you specifically. You stated it wasn't fair, so they're expressing their opinions on the matter: why do some people get accepted right after the interview before going through the waitlist? I don't see anything that's personal...

I am on the waitlist as well. Many people spent hundreds to interview there including myself. It takes a lot of twisting my words to construe what I posted into a personal attack.
