Ha ha I was talking the end of spring break will be tomorrow. So maybe we will hear back Friday because the admin members might take a while to get together.

I'm anxiously hoping so, but there's no rule that they have to give you an initial acceptance or waitlist decision before May 1st, correct?

Nope you can be waiting until August theoretically. But I won't be I need to hear something soon or I will be pulling the trigger.
 
Just accepted off the waitlist!!! I received the "Status Update" email back in February. Oh my goodness, I'm shaking

So they're going to the WL before they do any more outright acceptances for anyone who interviewed in mid Jan or later? What the hell is going on here.

I think they might be considering the WL + everybody after mid Jan.

Ah, sorry. Didn't realize my post would come off as vague. I was accepted back in February. I sent an withdrawal email last week and I finally got a reply confirming my withdrawal from AECOM. Good luck!
 
to people who got a status update email asking how you felt about attending einstein, did you ever get a response back after sending a letter of interest/intent?

I replied to the status update email last week and haven't received any response. When did you send in your letter?

Was this email following an initial waitlist email or was it the first you had heard anything at all?
 
Why u no love me AECOM? ?? Where my acceptances at?

Also it's strange that they do waitlist before straight acceptances once again AECOM surprises me.
 
Its pretty strange to accept people off the waitlist before even giving any sort of post-interview decision to other people anxiously waiting, whether it be a rejection, waitlist, or acceptance.

I wouldn't say rude it's just against what one would think is the common way of doing things. But I'm not a adcom and I don't want to detract from the posters happiness /acceptance by dwelling too much on it. I just want mine to come soon lolz
 
I agree, I realize there must be some method to this for the adcom: thats why I had the parentheses and question (?) mark. The whole thing just seems odd just like you said, especially with traffic day just 10 days away.

My theory is that they ranked each applicant and put us in line. Once there is a vacancy, the one in the front got pulled off. Kinda like going to the public bathroom

After all that post interview waiting they just rejected me outright. Pretty heartbroken..
 
Is there any correlation between how someone thinks an interview went and school's decision?

I thought mine went pretty well. My interviewer and I got along well, suggesting to me at least that it was a matter of fit.

My interview was horrible. Interviewer attempted to cut me off multiples times throughout the interview, rushed to the end of it, and was visibly put off when I told her that the company I work for outsources labor.

Then again, my Rochester interview could not have gone better in my eyes and I ended up waitlisted.

I interviewed early February. Has anyone from early February received the update status email or been accepted?

There's probably a correlation but I know people here that had terrible interviews and got in. You never know for sure.
