This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For those that got rejected today did the rejection come as an email or as just a new status update?

For those who have interviewed, what was the turn around time until you heard a response on acceptance/rejection?

About two weeks. Came in the day the said it would which I very much respect considering it's been nine weeks and counting since my interview at another school.
 
Also, I'm assuming they go through applications in the order they are received, but can anyone verify this? Sorry if already asked.

I don't think that they go in order as I was complete at the beginning of August and I have not heard back yet.

They probably do review in the order they were received but do not necessarily reply in that same order. It likely depends on a myriad of factors we as applicants do not see.
 
Complete 9/28
congrats! do you remember how long it took for your status to go from 'secondary received' to 'complete'? My status changed to 'secondary received' almost a month ago and I thought it was only supposed to take about two weeks for it to go to 'complete'...

Thanks! It only took about a week to get the complete email. Have you received a "your file is now complete" email? I would call and check on everything if not! That seems like a long time...

No I have not! I will wait until the official one month mark and then give them a call. They are probably just slammed.
 
They accept updates, but cannot guarantee review.

Edit: came off too harsh the first time

This has been asked multiple times. Next time, please just look back in the thread.

I did but could not find it - obviously why I would ask again. No need to be harsh.
 
@Pathdocmd (or anyone else who may be able to shed some light) does there tend to be a significant difference in turnaround time for reapplicants versus first-time applicants? I'm a reapplicant and was complete mid-August and I'm trying to figure out if I've survived a rejection wave or if my app is just in a different stack waiting for the guillotine...

There is no difference in how first time applicants and reapplicants are handled.
 
@Pathdocmd, I am OOS and flying down Friday Dec. 9 for interview Monday Dec. 12. What do I do over the weekend in terms of seeing the school and talking with interesting/ knowledgeable people?
