Members don't see this ad.

So from the looks of it that last reported II here was Nov. 17th. Is that right? Are we expecting more anytime soon?

Same. Its seemed like the last few years people have come off hold early to mid December and nothing yet

 

[kb1900]

i find it somewhat hard to believe that complete silence (no hold) means they "look forward to reviewing my application" lol

I'm in the same boat (since late Aug./early Sept.). It seems like other people are in the same position, too! Hang in there.

I haven't been put on hold. Complete late august and still app complete. They have been past my date for rejections so generally confused.

Woke up thinking "today's the day!!!" and now this is stuck in my head...

 

[Ampharos]

I feel like I'm just going to sit and stare at my cell phone all day...

 

[IJumpYouJumpJack]

So what happens if you're out of the country and can't accept phone calls? Do they update the portal right away too?

Do only accepted students get calls? Or will they call to notify people of their "continued" status as well?

You'll get an email of you're continued, not a phone call

 

[coolio1394]

For those who have received acceptances today, are your applicant portals already updated? I'm out of the country and can't receive phone calls. If I get accepted, I'm hoping to find out through a portal update 🙂

My portal is not updated, but I received an e-mail a little while after the call.

You're not continued until the email says you're continued - chin up!

I'm not going to despair until people start posting that they received "continued" emails. We can probably figure they're done with phone calls at that point?

 

[keystones26]

Got that "Continued" email. What are the chances of being accepted in March as a "continued" candidate?

brb refreshing my email 100 times

 

[FindersFee5]

Continued as well :\

 

[NeuResurgens]

So if you get continued, are the chances much higher that you're headed for the waitlist than getting accepted?

 

[BBQ7]

Continued for the second time! Interviewed in August.

 

[fightontrojans]

Hmmm do y'all think rejections are coming after the continued emails? I don't have anything yet 😕

 

[Chip Whitley]

Continued 🙁

 

[artemis7]

I thought they don't do rejections during interview season. It's either accepted or continued and then you get on the waitlist. But I might be wrong.

Was anyone who received a "continue" on the last decision day accepted today?

 

[Gurby]

All day. Anybody else still waiting to hear from them?

 

[gailstorm]

me!

 

[fightontrojans]

me!

+2 ahhhh

 

[NeuResurgens]

As if being continued on the first date wasn't bad enough, they just sent me another email to remind me I'm still continued.

Yeah Pritzker, this lack of mutual respect is not going to work.

 

[Gurby]

Just got continued. Bye Felicia.

 

[NeuResurgens]

Just got continued. Bye Felicia.

Let's become Pritzker Jalbies!

tbh I'm considering just withdrawing because even if I get in at this point I'll keep telling myself that they didn't think I was a good enough fit during the first two rounds

 

[drenuf]

Did anyone else get a call but not an email?

During the interview day, I think they said that they review continued applicants at the very end! So don't give up hope yet! Sorry that it's such a arduous process though. :/

Same here. I was really high on Pritzker after the interview but being continued a bunch tells me they think I'm an expendable candidate that might easily be eclipsed by coming interviewees. Even if I get in late in the game I don't know if I can get past that.
