OOS with LizzyScore of 71 and good ECs. Haven’t received a secondary yet. Should I be worried?

IS lizzy~80 and good ECs, verified super early, also waiting. Nerve-racking, but I think the order in which they review apps/send secondaries is just a bit weird. All we can do is be patient and try super hard not to be neurotic

For everyones own edification I called the admissions office and they said they send ~2/3 of applicants secondaries. They don't read letters of rec until the secondary is recieved either.

I heard they take Letters of Rec very seriously here so they may use them more when deciding IIs.

Is there any trend in turn around time for these secondaries? It's been ~2 weeks, starting to get nervous even thought it's probably just my neuroticism showing lol

I think it’s like 1/3-2/3 of the app pool IIRC.

Still waiting, OOS, slowly losing hope lmao

Me toooo

 

[Choco_chips]

Just received secondary!! LM 74 IS. Seems like they're still slowly going through them so don't lose hope!

 

[bball0718]

Secondary received. LM 77 OOS. I was transmitted to schools on day 1, so there really doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason to the order they’re sending them out. So I would recommend patience instead of doing what I did and wondering where the red flag in my application was.

 

[theKingLT]

+1 for secondary received. OOS LM 80+

 

[zimzamzoop]

Holy crap FIIIIIINNNNAAALLLLYYY got a secondary here. After visiting SF earlier this summer with some friends I fell in love with the city. Hopefully they show me some love back!

I was verified 6/1, have pretty high stats (LM~81), and already got some success at other schools so I was really confused about this secondary not coming in yet. They're just slowly getting through everyone's application I guess so don't lose hope!

 

[Blob_459]

+2 Secondary!!! Just as I had given up hope

 

[queencaffeine]

Also received secondary last night. OOS

 

[jakefromstatfarm]
