Interviewed 3/12, got the A pending a seat 3/26, and then the official acceptance also on 3/26. Similar to some previous posts, I was given my score out of 9 and once I put the $1000 acceptance deposit, they will let me know where my CHC is. As of now my top 3 choices are full but I'm second in line for them so she said it's very likely I receive at least one of them. Hope that helps!
Did you have to accept before knowing where the CHC was? How does this work so late in the interview cycle? Do conditional acceptances choose CHCs and then wait for those specifically or do you just get whatever seat becomes available when they get to your name?
So basically you have to put down the $1000 acceptance fee to be placed in a CHC. They told me which ones were available (it was the less popular ones) & they’d put me there for the time being. But then work through the waitlist as people give up their seat for other schools. I was also told my ranking on the waitlist for my CHC choices (all the CA ones). Priority is based on the waitlist and how quickly you put that initial deposit down.
Which did they say were the least popular?
To clarify least popular, that’s my personal opinion as someone from southern CA. They were South Carolina and Ohio I believe.
That’s a long wait lol Im sorry
Hang in there!! All the good vibes xoxo.
In the same boat as you!! Got my notice of selection around the same time and have been waiting ever since. They've been saying that they historically offer acceptances to everyone on the selected list, but I can't help but feel nervous.
May I ask which chc was your top?
Of course you can. My top choice was Mesa. Note that, based on my list, I started from the bottom (Alton) and now I’m here! Lol sorry, had to add in some Friday humor.
I think it was a notice of selection call and email, then shorty after received full seat acceptance
How long did you get the email after the notice of selection call? The person I talked to said I should receive it today. Should I call or is it not a big deal?
I am feeling just as nervous as you! Really hoping all of us “seat pending” will get an official seat. It would be very disappointing if not, as I have my hopes up very high!
Did they say how long until you get the email? I have asked about the popularity of Hawaii a lot because it is my first choice and you will get multiple answers. A current student said it isn’t popular and students try to get out of it but I am unsure about this cycle
I've heard that all the CA sites are popular. Hawaii has a high cost of living so a bit less desirable relative to some of the other sites including CA, Seattle, AZ, Brooklyn, etc
They didnt say anythig about when I will get an email. Still waiting!
So I don’t remember exact times, but I got the call for notice of selection, email for notice of selection, and email of offer of acceptance all on the same day 1/29. All of these came a week after my interview which was on 1/22. Desiree had said I ranked really high on their internal ranking, so maybe that’s why this all came in at once?
Okay. I am just confused. I missed the notice of selection call because I was sick this week but the voicemail said I would receive an email on Friday. Maybe I will send an email to verify just in case. I got the call a week after my interview also. Thank you for your help!
So they will tell us where we rank if we call them?
They told me!
Yes! All you have to do is ask
They’ll even tell you if you’re in the top 20 or whichever you’re in!Thank you so much for the update! I remember Desiree saying I was a 7-point-something, just can’t remember the decimal!!! Fingers crossed! When did you speak with her?
Yes, that's correct.
Do you call admissions for that or someone specific?Yes! All you have to do is ask
I think most people called but I just emailed admissions and was told.
Oh so you can email admissions and they will let you know. Okay thank you!
It's been quiet on this thread regarding student's dropping their seats, but I am hopeful! Fingers crossed it goes the way the past cycles have!
Prob don't expect much movement until May
Who did you email and how did you phrase it? I emailed them about my position and they told me nothing.
Best of luck to you!
I don’t recall the checklist including a drug screen. Background was done for sure.
Not to sound too negative, but I’ve read from a lot of people saying they are in the “top” part of the list. I wonder what their cutoff is....? I hope adcom doesn’t tell all that.... 😒
That’s why I’m questioning it. There is no way everyone can be in the top 20
