Continued Question:

I'm told we are allowed to update with letters of recommendation, but the secondary portal says the deadline has passed. Does this deadline apply to continued candidates? If it doesn't, what's the best way to send them in? Thanks Pritzker.

I'm not sure - I'm guessing snail mail, but email or call the admissions office for clarification (and post what you find out, please! - I'm sure others have the same question).

Okay so I called, and they said continued candidates are allowed to send in letters of recommendation still. I was surprised to find out that we should have the letter writer email the letter to the admissions office.

Thanks again!

I've got a few new letters I want to send in too, so thank you for sharing. 😀 Good luck!
 
Did everyone receive their scrub top with their acceptance letter? I got my acceptance packet on Wednesday, and have been anxiously looking in my mailbox since then. As silly as it sounds, I'm really looking forward to getting it!

I got the scrub top a few weeks after the acceptance letter. Hang in there, it is well worth the wait! 😀

off topic, but when did you interview and when did u get the call?
 
I interviewed October 30th and got the call last Thursday. Seemed like waiting a century
 
Interviewed Nov 15 - got the letter today that I was continued.
 
Hey SDNers 🙂 !!
My friend is on the continued list for Pritzker post-interview, and I know from previous posts that a) most start to hear in March-June and b) they're rereviewed at every committee meeting, but she's wondering if anybody has been accepted after being continued yet! Thanks!!

For others concerned with my posting, I won't end this with a heart, but instead a 😎 😎

She says thanks!!
 
From my stalking-- I mean observations LOL... I think the next batch of acceptances should come out tomorrow. It seems people have been getting their phone calls on Thursdays and yesterday's tweet read:

"Admissions update: It is our last week for interviews & the exec committee will meet this week as well."

I'm wondering this as well, anyone have any insight? Thanks!
 
I GOT THE CALL TODAY! I'm so excited - interviewed mid-November! 🙂🙂

Good luck everyone!

Were you initially "Continued" or did you just not hear back until now?

There was someone who was first continued and then accepted a few pages back - I think I remember seeing the post either around the beginning of January or just before the holidays. So there is definitely hope for your friend.
 
Got the call yesterday too! Super excited 🙂
Such an amazing school and I am very very honored to be accepted.
Tough decision ahead. Def a top school for me (and anyone really)!!!!!!

When did you interview? Are there any December interviewees that have heard back yet?

Thanks!

Congrats! When did you interview? Anyone who interviewed after Nov 19th hear back yet?

I just interviewed last week...guess I'm in for a long wait 🙁

You and me both, my friend. Though it's probably worth noting that the holiday break figured into the time these guys had to wait, so hopefully it won't be quite as long.
 
Hey guys,

A few people asked about continued applicants, so I have some info for you on that front. About 15% of the latest round of acceptances went to people that were continued at one point. There were also some people accepted in the last round that were continued. You're encouraged to send in updates (if you have any) to the office if you've been continued but still have an interest in Pritzker.

Good luck, and congrats again to the recent acceptances!
 
Hey Nick, do you know if everyone in the Nov. 19th interview group has been discussed and given a decision? As in, if we didn't get a call, do we assume that we are continued/rejected? Or do you think they haven't discussed all the Nov. 19 interviewers yet? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you get a status update if a decision has been mad about your application, whether it's accept, continue, or reject. I interviewed October 18 and I only heard back last week. I was not continued at any point; my status went straight from "interview complete" to "accepted." Those facts being given, I highly doubt all of the November 19 interviewees have been discussed yet. If my story is any indication, you may not hear for another month.

I'm not sure either way, but it's definitely possible that they haven't gotten to your group first.

So, I want to send something to supplement my application, but I'm not sure of the appropriate address to send it to or who I should address the mail to. Does anyone know? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Send it in via snail mail addressed to the admissions office. It'll get to your file or to the correct person once there.

Thanks Nick,

Ah, sorry about that - I'm terrible about keeping up with PMs! I'll shoot you a response sometime today.
 
What are the possible post-interview decisions (I'm talking about the initial update)? I know about accepted and continued, but do they do outright rejections as well?
 
Really still digging through November, huh? 🙁 hope to hear something soon!
