Any information on OOS acceptance rates?

MSAR said something like 300 interviews with something like 60 matriculating.

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

Ugh well the office is closed now we'll probably have to wait til tomorrow :/

 

[bestAWPerworld]

On last year's thread it seems like people's portals were updated on this Thursday. I actually think I'll die if I have to wait another day.

If it changes online does that mean it's in the mail?

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

I have literally no possible way of knowing.

II today. LizzyM ~74. OOS. ...But there are no interview slots available listed on the online portal?

 

[aNarcolepticPenguin]

I will now check my portal every hour... instead of every 10 minutes like yesterday.

Give them a call. I called and they scheduled my date over the phone, which was nice because I was given a Chicago day even though the portal didn't show it was available.

 

[Spriteling]

So...who wants to volunteer to call the admissions office to see if the adcom met yesterday?

II OOS this morning as well. I am also not seeing any interview slots available. I called and the lady instructed me to check the portal throughout the day and call them back when something opens up.

 

[bestAWPerworld]

They didnt answer :/

When were you complete ?

 

[Spriteling]

I can't handle this waiting. I just can't even.

I'll call them around 4CT if we haven't heard anything by then.

 

[Spriteling]

😀 Thanks!

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

No need. I just called. She said "sometime soon," and I asked her if the committee had met recently. She said that they don't inform the office people when they meet, so she doesn't know.

 

[bestAWPerworld]

What a LIAAAARRRR

Argh. That is BS.

 

[jsdot]

When were you complete ?

I was complete 8/18 and received the II at 9:30 am EST.

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

What a LIAAAARRRR

I'm not lying 🙁

 

[bestAWPerworld]

Haha no i meant the person on the phone saying she doesnt know!

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

Haha no i meant the person on the phone saying she doesnt know!

Oh yeah. But it just seems like such a stupid thing to lie about!

 

[bestAWPerworld]

Id guess they arent allowed to disclose any information?

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

Maybe. Two years ago, decisions were posted after 4 pm CST. So maybe it'll be the same? It does seem like they're running behind this year though. IIs went out almost 2 weeks after last year, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're running behind on this, too. Though HOW I'll wait another week is a conundrum.

At my interview, they did say we should receive decisions by the end of October/beginning of Novembr. If we have to wait another week, though, I'm going to cry. A lot.

 

[lxlus]

Around 8/25

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

OMG MY STATUS CHANGED!!!!!

Edit: For posterity (aka next year's neurotic posters), it's 12:04pm on the 4th Friday of October.

Got Final Decision Made + Additional Correspondences!

 

[Spanuc]

Check now!

 

[rukia013]

UGH mine is still decision pending 🙁

((I made the 666th post, I hope I didn't jinx myself LOL))

 

[aNarcolepticPenguin]

Check now!

Still at decision pending =/

 

[Spriteling]

Still decision pending 🙁 At least we know they met, I guess?
Also, my heartrate just shot up like 30bps...

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

FYI, Chicago on 9/23.

What was your interview day?

 

[rukia013]

What was your interview day?

9/14
I'm just hoping that maybe they are manually entering statuses as we speak...

 

[bestAWPerworld]

Mine was also chicago 9/23

 

[Spriteling]

FYI, Chicago on 9/23.

I simultaneously love and hate you. Hate, because your status has change, and love because at least we know the committee met yesterday...
