Does anyone know how many acceptances are awarded during the second round in February?
 
Axed pre-II...really wanted to try the hot chicken 🙁((
 
Do we know what day the December decisions are being released?

edit-- looking at last year's thread it was the Monday before xmas so I'm gonna guess we get em one week from today

That would be my best guess too. Getting nervous!
 
Does anyone know if everyone from an interview date gets a decision at the same time? I.e. Are they sending out my rejection with the acceptances in the next week or two, or do I have to wait until the bitter end?
 
FYI everyone last year there were people who interviewed in early/mid november and heard back in December. Also the calls stretched over a few days.
 
Just got an II! My second one and I am sooooo happy right now :soexcited:
For those wondering there are (5 dates) available throughout the month of January.
 
Are they going to continue to call tonight and into tomorrow or just tonight?

So it's been a few hours since the last acceptance phone calls... does this mean they have all gone out? If we didn't hear, have we been passed over?
 
reiterating: FYI everyone last year there were people who interviewed in early/mid november and heard back in December. Also the calls stretched over a few days.
 
Congrats to those accepted!! So exciting 🙂 do you mind sharing who called you? Was it your interviewer?
 
Any wild guesses at what order they are calling by? Interview date, last name, random, region of residence
 
Accepted by phone call just now! Lizzy M 77, interviewed October 10. Anyone remember when they said we would hear about scholarships?
FWIW a friend of mine was just offered a substantial scholarship when they called to tell them they were accepted. Not sure if people receiving less comprehensive scholarships have yet to hear or what. I know that they do have pretty robust need based aid though, and that comes out later after you apply for it!


Also, in response to mandoggy, the same friend's name is earlier alphabetically and they found out after me, so I'm not sure there's necessarily a rhyme or reason haha.

My call was from the that older guy on the admissions team.

Got the call too!

For everyone else accepted, does it show up in your portal yet? I'm still convinced this is a joke. :wideyed:
It shows up on my portal, but maybe it takes a day to go through the system? Maybe yours will show up tomorrow?
 
Just got the call today as well. Very appreciative that they are taking the time to call on a Saturday.
Congrats! Are they still calling? How do we know if we've been pushed to February, waitlisted, or still in the running to get the call?

No one gets WL in December. If you don't get a call today or whenever they stop calling for this wave, then you're still in the running.
Very unsatisfying, I know.
 
Anyone got accepted after December interview?
 
Thanks! I was mid-November too and they said we likely wouldn't hear until February so was just checking
Is there any way to know whether we were deferred versus not considered in this group at all?
 
Hi, they were making calls today! I got the call today too, maybe around 4pm-ish Eastern time. I was accepted wth full scholarship and am still in disbelief! Don't give up hope guys!
Interview date?
