Finally under preliminary review after submitting on 7/31 (at least that's when I paid).
 
Small-pooled sometime this past week (I've been resisting the urge to check my statuses every day all day). Submitted 7/25, went under preliminary review ~9/26
 
Has anyone gone from "preliminary review" to a status other than "small pooled"?
 
I'm looking to book a flight out of Burlington after the interview on November 1. The latest option is 6:00 PM. Has anyone that has interviewed so far made it to the airport right after?

I booked a ~6pm flight after my interview, nov 1st as well. A buddy of mine lives up there and said it should take no time to get to the airport.
 
Finally pooled sometime in the last week or so. Submitted 7/26 OOS. Hope it taking so long isn't a bad sign.
 
Has anyone's status changed from the "your file has been reviewed, check back after October 15" to a "please check back for a decision, which will be posted shortly" post-interview status?
(I paraphrased, those weren't the exact words)

Good luck to everyonewaiting to find out results today!!

Haha, I know!!!! I keep checking the portal every few minutes-- very distracting during work!

I interviewed on the 20th of September...
 
It's been over 12 weeks now since I submitted my secondary and still no status change. I'm starting to give up on this school. 🙁

I wouldn't sweat it. I was told that it's taking this long to review applications.

+2. Can't understand it. At least let me know I'm complete?!? It's almost like they are completely overlooking a huge chunk of applications sent in August.
 
Has anyone sent an in the area email to this school? I am already small pooled, so not sure if its a good idea or bad idea
 
got the "pool of applicants who can be given an interview" status the other day. is this the infamous small pooled status? should I lose all hope now? haha
 
Yes, that's the small pooled status. The question is: "How much longer until an II or a rejection?"

lol that's just great. guess ill stop checking the portal every moment I get. lameeee
 
For everyone's information, getting through the burlington airport is a breeze. Usually get there and to your gate in 10-15 minutes (there will rarely be a person in front of you at security), so a 6pm flight should give you more than enough time.
 
Just checked my status and have been "put on hold due to questions with required coursework" and was asked to email them. I did...but I checked and I'm sure I've completed all the required coursework. Has anyone had a similar issue and could tell me how long it took to get it resolved?
 
congrats to those accepted! do they give you a timeframe within which you need to make a decision?

Two weeks to respond. $100 deposit fully refundable until like April I think.

I submitted my secondary on 7/21 and still haven't even been marked complete, let alone reviewed. Has this been the case for anyone else? Three months to mark an application complete seems excessive. Would it be obnoxious to call or email and ask about why it's taking so long? By the way, congrats to those accepted!

I was complete around the same time but realized that their lors requirements were different than last year and submitted more letters. I was small pooled within a couple days.

I just re-checked the requirements and I definitely meet them. I don't want to email them and seem impatient but I was super excited about this school...
 
People who were complete after me are being small pooled. Ahhhh! Is there a status change for people who ARENT small pooled but have been reviewed? My status still says its under preliminary review since early Sept
 
I've been complete since late August and it still says my app is under preliminary review..I'll reach the 8 week mark this week..it doesn't look too good

I think my app was under preliminary review for ~9 wks. I was then small pooled, and received an II a few days later. No need to lose hope until you actually receive the actual rejection.
