Congrats to those accepted! So exciting!

I guess Western committing to the "2 week results" timeline. Seems like people are waiting ~1 month?

At the interview, they said it takes about 2 weeks for committee review then about 1 week for final approval and notification. So 3 weeks is actually what they’re saying, and it seems it has been around that.

Many people have heard back already. I was on an interview last week and saw someone from my 10/12 interview who was rejected last week. Not sure why some of us haven't heard yet. I suspect the remainder of us will hear back this week

Damn we all in that same boat huh
Yup, sounds like it. I am tempted to call for an update, but I feel I should wait after reading about someone with an August completion date getting a Nov/Dec interview date invite.

Will probably be getting to preview late tomorrow and directly from plane. Anyone know how admin/adcom view disheveled lateness to preview?

II Lebanon! (received Monday, apparently, but I didn't see it until this morning because it was filtered to Promotions in my gmail... everyone check all of your folders always!)
LizzyM 68, OOS, some weak ties to the NW.
Submitted late September, complete early October due to LOR issue.
Only available date was January 20th.

Sad to say this but I probably will be withdrawing my II with Pomona due to financial reasons. Good luck to all those who are looking forward to studying here and can afford it :)
 
Has anyone gotten pre-interview rejections? Still silence. Completed mid August. Just looking for any sign of hope at this point ‍♀️

So sorry @Octossy, I hear you, this program is quite expensive. Best of luck!

For those requesting a COMP Lebanon discussion thread, I've contacted a moderator to get that thread started. They replied and said that they'll start one soon :)

Thank you! Having mixed threads when a school has two campuses drives me nuts. People rarely post which campus they're referring to :wideyed:

Interviewed here 11/9....overall I thought it was a pretty good interview day. Friendly interviewers, decent campus, and the students seem pretty happy. Every school has its drawbacks (mostly the surrounding area, but that can be mitigated once you drive 5-10 minutes out), but overall I thought COMP-Pomona was a good interview day (lunch was freaking atrocious tho). Positives: Super strong curriculum, strong in-state ties, and excellent rotations with the ability to customize essentially your entire 4th year for audition rotations.
