Talk about a nice way to start your day! Phone call and e-mail with snail mail a few days later. Minnesota does have early acceptances. Those applicants who applied via EDP (early decision program) gets notified around September.

I finally remembered where I saw this...:)
This list is about last cycle and made by other sdners.
It might not be the exact ways they do it now, but it should at least give you the general ideas. If you see errors, feel free to fix it.

As for UNC, what I heard was they have the meeting in Dec, so Dec 1 might not be the date they call you... let me know if I'm wrong!

guys... haha...
I thought it was a common sense when a certain school on the list says RIGHT NOW or TODAY, that means dec.1 or later. It does NOT mean that you can call and ask on the day I posted this thread. :laugh:

anyway, didn't mean to confuse you, sorry..
 
As for midwestern, does Dean call every accepted applicant? wow
 
Thanks because THANK-YOU!

:thumbup:


Are there anyways that I can bookmark this thread and come back whenever I need it? :laugh:

Check the U of MN website. Those applicants who applied via EDP (early decision program) gets notified around September. I believe "regular" applicants get notified Dec. 1st.

whoa is this like ED to college, ie is it binding? i stand corrected....
 
Penn mails out all acceptances (not just deans) on the 1st. So the earliest you could get your letter is the 2nd and many will be later due to mailing time.
 
schools will surely release their conclusion on December 1st for pre-december interviewers?

(Accepted/waitlisted/rejected)


:luck:

Nope. Many schools just hold onto rejections as long as they can.
I believe Columbia is one of them. ;)

Maybe because if someone is really excited they can put it on their fridge. Or frame it. Or give it to their parents for memories. It seems more personal. Or maybe they just want you to wait a few extra days because they are EVIL!!:smuggrin:
 
Tufts also updates via AADSAS Dec. 1st am, although not as early as some schools... I was dissappointed until after my first class only to come home to check again and see Accepted! Good luck everyone! :)
 
I can't stop saying......this thread is $100 worth.

:laugh:
 
I interview at Ohio State on 11/8 and they said that out of state applicants will recieve and email and phone call on Dec 1st and in state applicants will be notified on Dec 8th
