I just checked this thread to see how they were doing in terms of completion. I submitted on 9/7, guess I have to keep waiting.
+1 (10 weeks ago and still nothing)
Did decisions come in? Mail phone or email? Interviewed very early like you, but dont have access to my mailbox. No email or phone call received
I am sure they won't penalize you for this! Hurricane is in no way a fault of your application. I'm sure tons of people missed interviews.
no acceptances yet? interviewed back on oct 5, pretty nervous here... and judging from last year's thread, the range of dates in which i could possibly hear back from them goes anywhere from mid november to mid december. definitely is not helping with the anxiety!

Totally agree. I interviewed a week before you!
I wouldn't sweat it. I interviewed Sept 12 and haven't heard. They said "I would hear back in 6-8 weeks. but more likely 8 weeks."
When did you interview?
🙁 November and still only 3 notices that we've heard about (and those being hold notices...). What's taking them soooo longggg
I interviewed sept 19th

I know a friend of mine has received an acceptance from PennState. So some acceptances have gone out.
I also interviewed on the 19th! Hoping to hear back sometime this week
Do you know when your friend interviewed?
Yea when did he interview and when did he hear back? This certainly changes things :x
Makes it even more nerve wrecking......

i'm pretty sure they don't take updates. don't quote me on this, but i believe someone on this thread or last year's thread said they don't accept updates. I sent a letter of interest after my interview and they never replied so I'm assuming it's true.
I do not know when he interviewed or heard back though.
Congrats! Very exciting!
Congrats! Interviewed 10/1, so I'll hopefully hear something in the next two weeks!
Wow! Congratz.
Getting...so...close...........
Yea... anyone know how often the adcom here meets? I hope it is not once per month haha
My interviewer said they meet every Friday

If you get an acceptance is it in a big envelope? And rejections and wait list are in normal envelopes?

just got put on hold pre-interview (snail mail) 🙁
Does everyone who does not get an interview get put on hold for rereview? Do people even get rejected pre-interview?
How many people put on hold actually go on to get an interview?

I'm in the same situation. I'd like to know some of these questions as well.
Am I the only one who submitted and paid in mid-august and is still not marked as complete?
I SS after the August the 15th. I would consider emailing them, just to make sure they have recieved everything (this is assuming you have not already done so).
Congrats!! If you don't mind, what are your stats? I interviewed the week after you...the waiting game is so difficult!
Same. I sent them an eMail... this isn't acceptable.

I hope your language wasn't too harsh. Being in the good graces of the administrative staff is usually a helpful thing.
I submitted in the first week of September, so I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. It can take months before schools review applicants send interview invites. It's just easy for us to get overly anxious- I'm doing everything I can to be more zen about this process.
I submitted around the same time around you and still am not complete. I'll send an email asking if there's anything else they need from me (aka whyyyyy am I not complete).
Congrats! When were you complete?
Accepted! Interviewed 9/19!
Congrats!! Must get home to check mail nowww :x
I find it odd that in their FAQ on the secondary website there isn't a listing for "When the F will my app be reviewed!?"

I was put on hold but got an II a couple weeks later.
