What's the consensus on IIs? Any likely to go out for late February or march soon? Do we know anything based on their meeting schedule?

Also, I tried calling to get a little information last Thursday afternoon, and was told only that my application was complete and under review. Has anyone had any success getting more info via another method? Better yet, anyone have any inside sources on how things are moving?

Thanks, all! Good luck.

Advocacy meeting is mid feb. so there will probably be a break for interviews until end of feb. as the person said above, feb/March interviews have gone out they usually give you interviews a month out

I’m not convinced you’re right. What makes you think all February and March IIs have gone out and that those months are fully scheduled?

The advocacy meeting is to sum up people who have interviewed already, no? Why would it concern pre-II candidates? Correct me if I’m wrong. Just trying to get an accurate picture.

I think it’s just speculation since we all don’t know 100% what the situation is. At this point in the cycle it could be that they have filled a good portion of their 200 spots. This advocacy meeting should help them decide what NFA students they want to admit. Following the advocacy meeting and the next regular meeting, it’s likely that there won’t be many spots to offer left if any. Their goal is to offer all 200 spots before the deadline on March 15, afterwards if anyone decides to decline the acceptance and attend another school, then that could open up more spots. It’s still possible to get an interview as we approach March, but statistically it’ll be tough to get in with the few remaining spots.
 
Just spoke with Ms. Paulette. She said February is booked and March interviews (except early March) will be sent out near the end of February. Last interview date is still scheduled for April 17th. Hope this helps some people in the same position as me (those who applied late). Seems likely you’ll get an II if your application is good enough.

Going off last year’s thread, most people who interviewed in the last month or so will likely get NFAs until their last advocacy meeting in late April/early May. Although they did send out some acceptances after this February advocacy last year.
 
Thanks for calling! This is useful info and might help some people (like me lol) start making plans for next year. Much appreciated.

Yes they have filled approximatley 145 spots so far (based on the fb group). So you could expect easily another 55 offers to go out by march?

Someone called and said that all interview up to the beginning of March are out ... and just thinking along the lines of the fact dr Eubanks said the advocacy meeting is feb 22
 
Will share status once I get mine. The wait is brutal.
 
Eubanks said mail would be sent out mid week when I interviewed? So I’m thinking we will get mail this weekend or next week if that’s true!!

Yes maybe Friday , no later than Tuesday. But they could have sent it Tuesday so if you live locally it could be any time now
 
I received my mail the thursday after the friday meeting so good luck!
 
Hopefully tomorrow is the day. I live in Nola and did not get a letter today.
 
It'll be at least Saturday for me because I do not live in NOLA. Surprised y'all didn't get it today.
I have a hunch that not all of us will be NFA. Some of us will be very happy in a few days.

I knew today wasn’t gonna be it, if they keep their word about when they mailed it then maybe tomorrow maaaaaaybe. Good luck y’all!!! I hope we all become tigers!! Or hope lucky tigers on hold, but eventually tigers

I sure hope so. I am so ready. Just hope I'm one of the lucky ones. I think tomorrow will be the day as well for the NOLA folks, so smile when walking to the mailbox tomorrow.
 
Not to rain on anyone’s parade, but I seem to remember while perusing through last year’s thread that someone said the mail came out of Baton Rouge and not Nola. Not sure if this is true, but if it is, you might need to budget an extra day to get from BR down to Nola. Don’t know, just offering that up! ✌️

x2... dang. I was sure I had stood out enough to get accepted out right. I guess it's just so late in the cycle for that. Well, I cannot remember the exact date of the huge advocacy meeting. Was is like February 15th or something?

NFAd as well. We are not alone lol. When is the advocacy meeting? I guess I will start planning to reapply at the worst.
 
I guess there isn't much to do right now. I just want to know when I need to start holding my breath when I check my mailbox again. Later this month after the meeting?
 
Early March

That's bizarre. Is your mailing address in a rural area? Or out of state? Maybe that could cause the delay. I'd definitely call the admissions office if you don't receive something by Wednesday.

Only about 20 minutes away from Nola in a regular suburban area 🙁 weird! As of yesterday another friend of mine in my interview group didn’t get his either

Maybe… But I hope not because we interviewed the first week of January 🙁 i’m afraid to call
because what if they’re like… You’ve been rejected, you didn’t know?! LOL

I don’t know what to think. It just seems weird that they would discuss, accept, and NFA other January applicants, but not us! We shall see what happens.

My letter came like 1-1.5 weeks after they said my letter would arrive. It drove me nuts, so just try to relax and find a way to occupy your mind
