Has anyone from 1/23 heard ANYTHING?

Nothing so far. This is just speculation on my part but after April 30 they'll be able to see if we have other acceptances so they might wait till after that to protect their yield. Once again just speculation, they might just get back to us in the next few weeks.

interviewed 1/4 and I'm in the same boat. although someone from my date heard back already last month. 99% sure they are gonna send out a lot of WL and just decide in May when people start withdrawing apps. So I'm expecting the same thing too. No clue why schools are so caught up in how many A's they give out to look better, but hey, it is what it is! Just gotta wait another month and a half

I'll most likely be attending Tulane. Nothing against Rosy, just wanted to be a bit farther away from home (I'm from 20 minutes south of North Chicago). I interviewed on the first interview day and heard back on October 22nd.

A lot of people called last year to ask and then got decision the day after. Don't know if that's worth though

i don't want to be that annoying applicant that's constantly asking about decisions....but i wanna know already!! lol maybe it comes off wrong if you keep asking about your app
 
All speculation, even if some of us call we likely won't get a real timeline still. Im just hoping its before April 15th that we hear something of a status including a waitlist notification if not accepted/rejected at that point

probably closer to May because of the new traffic rules. It's a little trickier for schools to gauge how many of their applicants already have other acceptances, basically how many more they should accept in case they take other schools over theirs

On one hand though, how do you know if a student wont accept your offer unless you extend an offer?

I know people accepted to other schools that wont choose RFU, but they wont withdraw because they still want to see if they get that acceptance. Then, once they see an A (ego boost) they will withdraw

Can you please tell them that there are people waiting to find out if they have to move across the country when they get their A and will attend RFU? The more people that RFU has offer pointless acceptances to, the longer it takes for them to fill their class.

yea that's sad. There's no way to really know anything like that for sure, just helps speculate i guess
 
What was the date that the last accepted batch got interviewed on though?

Thats not how it works. They seem to review many different interview dates. Some havent heard since interviewing in September/October. Others who interviewed in Feb have already been accepted/rejected

Not a current student, but from the interview it seemed there were three main options, two apartment options were right on campus (in walking distance), and a third which would be cheaper than the first two was a 10 min drive away, I think they said.

M2 here. I'll just put this here, since you're not the only one who's asking...

Just you? (No SO, don't have anybody to be roommates with)
-student housing or woodlands and play the roomate lottery, $900ish/mo

Just you? But you do have friends to live with?
-woodlands or student housing (if 1 friend), $900ish/mo
-navy (if 2+ friends), $4-500ish

Have a SO?
-woodlands or navy, $1300-1600ish/mo
-apt complexes in Gurnee, $1000-1200ish
-Wisconsin if you want to avoid people and drive a lot, but also have super cheap rent. <$1000/mo., but extra gas money

Have SO & kids?
-navy is probably your best option

Prices include utilities, in the -ish.

EDIT: If you're interested in Navy, but not sure what I mean by that, here's their website: Military Homes | Great Lakes Family Housing | Welcome

Navy housing is the 3rd one. They're both across the street and up on the other side of the VA hospital. So either walking distance or a 5 min drive, depending on which part you're in.
