It’s crazy that everyone before 10/22 heard back. Why the cut off 😫
Dude I know. Crazy thing is though that some people even after 10/22 heard back, but it’s only been WL from what I know. I interviewed 10/28, so my 12 week cutoff date should be 01/20, which is tomorrow 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m hoping they don’t keep us waiting even longer
 
at this point I think our later oct Interview dates are going to be grouped with early November interviews too
 
I emailed admissions and got an auto response saying that they reopen on Jan 21st (after the inauguration), so probably won’t receive any news until then :/

Do you think it’d be worth sending a letter of interest before then? I’ve already submitted an update letter (and lash paragraph in that letter is expressing my interest).
 
for the virtual presentation - it says that it'll last until 1:35pm - does this mean we'll be able to ask questions after the presentation?
 
email thread condensed about my portal being closed to updates:

me: hi I would like to submit a post II update but my portal says a decision has been made on my app and that it’s closed to updates

them: oh you should be able to submit one at any time

me: but i can’t, it’s closed on my portal

them: nah you should be able to, a decision has not been made

me: but I literally can’t...

them: no, you can

uhhh

oh goodness, this sounds very frustrating! sorry to hear that (I have been underwhelmed by their admissions committee as a whole throughout this process...)

If I were you, I would just send them your update in an email at this point (reiterating that your portal is closed). Maybe they can add it to your file for you!

Yes I would agree! I had a similar issue with another school (portal was down for days) so I just sent an update through email! 🙂
 
I hope so but I’m thinking this Monday is actually probably actually probably it. Lol
 
+1 WL interviewed 10/23. Anyone writing/ has written an update that is cool with me PMing them for advice? I kinda talked about my gap year plans on the secondary so I'm not sure how to really frame my update!!!
 
Can anyone give me advice as to how to go about LOIs after being WL'd? I submitted one update after my interview but pre-decision, and was waitlisted 01/22. I am thinking of submitting a letter of interest right now (end of Jan), then send a letter of intent at the end of Feb. Only reason I'm not wanting to send a letter of intent right now is bc I haven't heard back from almost 70% of my schools. What do people think?
