Make sure you are checking your customized applicant portal, not the portal you submitted your secondary through. The customized portal should say “Congratulations on your acceptance, ________” and there’s a lot more information, although it doesn’t seem to be fully updated for 2021, but I assume it will be the same as last year.
Yeah that's the one I'm looking at. I actually just checked on my phone and I can see the extra tabs like onboarding FAQs and orientation but it's all from last year so maybe that's why it's not visible on the desktop site yet. Thank you!
Same, and I'm IS with 2 connections to the school and stats around their average accepted profile :/
Following.
So is Arizona behind or do they typically take a while to accept their students by putting many on continued consideration?
If I recall correctly, at my VAVD day Dr. Fogerty mentioned not to be too stressed if you get put on continued consideration because they only accept a few people right away and then extend more of the acceptances closer to the end. I also know someone currently attending and she said most of the classmates she knows were put on continued consideration for a while before being accepted.
That definitely confirms my assumptions, the number of accepted seemed very low for the out of state applicants.
I would't say I have a bad taste in my mouth for waiting around (thats pretty normal throughout), but I agree with the VITA only ii standpoint. I feel like applicants and admissions both lose an important opportunity to better understand each other. All of my other interviews provided unique insights into the program and I was able to better express myself as an applicant. Hopefully they reassess for future applicants.
+1 and complete 8/3. OOS low stats applicant shooting for the stars 🙂 wish you all the best of luck!
Yeah, that’s a fair point. I just couldn’t believe that after working that hard for years for a chance to interview, the experience was reduced to a short recording. To not even have an opportunity to ask an interviewer a personalized question was huge for me.
... so, they never watched your VITA, right?
I haven’t received a VITA invite from any of my schools, so I haven’t done it yet.
them VITA feelz
Sorry to hear but would you mind sharing complete date? Trying to see when my R would be coming haha
Second this! I switched between feeling like I did okay and doing super poorly. Hoping for the best for those of you still waiting to hear back 🙂
I haven't received an interview here, but another one of my top choice schools also required VITA, which I took today. I feel mostly okay because I know I said some good things, but I was sooo awkward. I really don't know how anyone would walk out of that thinking they rocked it. Seeing these messages made me feel a lot better because I was reminded I wasn't in this alone. Thanks for that!
I haven't seen anything yet!
+1
+2
Hey, I spoke with Dr. Fogerty he says the are working on setting up the page maybe we can expect it to be done in the next month or so!
I am in the exact same boat. UA has made me one sad applicant this cycle
A couple things to remember... 1. they’re increasing their incoming class size to 120 this year. So there are 20 extra spots this year compared to last year.
either 1/25 or a date in early February
I heard back 7 weeks after my VAVD! They gave us a specific date that they would release decisions, it sounds like they didn't do that at your VAVD?
should be today and next monday yup!
Anyone else freaking out for decisions today!?
We've been seeing around 10am-12pm AZ time by phone call.
Congrats! I wonder what order they go in. As the day progresses, I always hope that they do it in alphabetical order by last name, as I'm towards the end of the alphabet. 🙂
When was your VAVD?
Dont remember the exact date, but it was right before thanksgiving and there were 80 people (usually there are 40)
