11/5-6. I know someone in my interview cohort heard back a while before I did

A friend of mine is currently an MS1 and she said that they give you an iPad! She said you have to take exams on the iPad, and some people only use it for that bc they have their own preferred devices but she uses it for more than that!
Oh whoa that's amazing! 🙂 Currently debating which devices to get so this is good to hear, haha.
Has anyone from the Nov. 20th interview heard back yet?

I haven't yet, but someone on the thread said they usually call on Wednesdays so fingers crossed for us Nov. 20 pals.
Thanks! I can’t remember if Dr. Chan said our date would hear back before or after New Years. I’m feeling extra neurotic today haha

I interviewed Nov. 6th and it seems like lots of folks don't hear back until much later -- like not till March(I still haven't heard anything so I'm clinging on to this thread of hope! ha!). Did Dr. Chan say to expect to hear before then?
I think about 1/3 of accepted students hear before March while the majority hear in March
I unfortunately don’t think this is the case anymore ): Utahs website also says they utilize rolling admissions. I’m a reapplicant and last year almost everyone I knew and here on sdn who heard back on March 15th were waitlisted or rejected. I think if you are accepted, you usually find out around 1-2 months after your interview (there were 1 or 2 people accepted in March on sdn last year tho, so I don’t know for sure!)

Oh good to know. I’ve also head that a WL spot at Utah is almost as good as an acceptance. Probably a little bit of hyperbole obviously. but do you know if there is more movement on the Utah WL compared to other schools?

ahh thanks for the info! whelp, guess all I can do at this point is keep those fingers crossed!! Good luck to everyone else also, this process is so grueling!
I don’t know much about the waitlist movement here!
Same!! I kind of wanted to get a desktop computer for a study room at home but I’m unsure of what kind🤔
Just build one!

It doesn’t take too long! If I remember correctly about 15-20 minutes 🙂

Depends on how many times you practice it. Without any practice, no longer than 15 minutes. I would practice at least twice though, so probably 30-45 mins.
I haven't seen one but it says processing on the acceptance materials page.

Thank you!
I vaguely remember from my interview day they said we should start hearing by March.
ok thanks! I also thought the scholarship applications would be open by Jan 1st but I guess not?
Oh sorry I thought you meant when will we start hearing about offers. Yeah, the scholarship application should be open now, have you checked your portal?

I emailed the admissions office recently and they said they would send out an email when the portal opens!

Hey yall, so I haven't even been accepted (please!) or WL yet, but I just realized I forgot we are supposed to fill out FAFSA for financial aid. Does anyone remember the deadline?

Just do it ASAP I think
Haven't yet but mine also says processing on the applicant page.
😂😂 yea, unfortunately computer science/building never made it onto my AMCAS app or into my extracurricular activities
I think I remember January 15th as a recommendation but not sure if that’s a hard deadline or not.
Who did the email come from?
for the background check? application station (i haven't gotten an email about the scholarship app. someone just said they will email us when it is available)
Yes the background check! Thanks so much.
Hoping we get some calls this week!
I'm gonna be in a perpetual state of clenching from now until March. I'm starting to fall more in love with Utah, so I'm getting even more queasy thinking about getting the call.

Got the acceptance call this morning and interviewed 11/20!!! Still shaking with excitement 😀
I looked through this thread and I saw a couple weeks where people got calls on Wednesday and Thursday!
Has anyone been able to access the scholarship application already? I received an email yesterday saying that "The Supplemental Application for Institutional Scholarships and Loans is now available on your applicant portal" but after accessing the portal, it says the app is not available.
yeah i emailed them and they said that there was a problem with it so IT took it down for a bit to fix it

Any A’s sent today? Any guesses as to how many have been sent?
Are there any Idaho applicants lurking out here with acceptances? Is there anyone that personally knows an Idaho applicant who has already been accepted? If you or your loved ones have experienced an Idaho acceptance in the last 5 months, you may be entitled to (imaginary) financial compensation. All you have to do is shoot me a DM, please!

Got an II today? Thought for sure they'd be done, but there were dates offered on Feb 1 and 5. Kind of thrilling!
Pre-II R just now. Good luck everyone!
