Does anyone know when the next round of decisions is coming out? At my interview they said 6-8 weeks but looking thru this thread it seems like most people got a decision within a month of interviewing

My best guess would be 12/27 if we're following the trend of every 2-weeks on a Monday. BUT that's also assuming that adcoms continue working/making decisions throughout winter break

yea they told us during the 12/15 interview that the 4-6 weeks would most likely be 5-7 weeks because of the holiday break. So i think that alludes to them not doing anything this upcoming week.

Can confirm admin is out for the break. Have a good holiday y’all!
 
Has anyone received scholarships/merit aid?

Or when do they typically get sent out? I recently interviewed and it wasnt really discussed so Im just curious.
 
I think it’s in the spring? I be vaguely remember one of those pdfs they shared with us mentioning Fin Aid being released then.
@JustJackie Hmm I thought merit aid/scholarships were different from regular financial aid (which is released in the spring and includes loans and need based scholarships). In previous year Cincy threads students started reciving merit scholarships in early Dec even though financial aid is given in the spring

I heard back about scholarships/aid (or lack of) from my other schools so Im just trying to get an idea of the merit scholarships Cincy gives, and when they might give them.

Has anyone had trouble doing the interview on a Mac? I have no idea how I'd even get my hands on a PC.
I used a very old Mac (09) for my interview here and had no problems. Just make sure to do the system check that's on their site and follow their direction regarding pop-ups.

Can anybody speak to the interview stress level here? I'm interviewing this week and am a little nervous since I really have no idea what to expect.

They really try to make it feel relaxed in the beginning and end! Of course their M.M.I. format is different than the traditional interview, but I still thought it was pretty chill. Just be yourself and be confident in your responses. You got this and best of luck!

Honestly it’s really chill. They understand you’re nervous, So you won’t just log in and start interviewing.

It wasn’t stressful. Maybe around a 3 out of 10. Everyone was really nice

Thank you both so much!! This makes me feel better 🙂
 
Does anyone have any idea when the 12/17 people will hear back? I thought they told us 5-7 weeks but it looks there were still some late November people getting the call just yesterday 😢

12/15 gang checking in. Hoping for next week by the earliest.

It's possible that they're running a bit behind? But I just went through the calendar based on the pattern we've seen on this thread. It looks like a decision is sent out every 2 weeks on a Monday (with the exception of holidays). In that decision timeframe, applicants from 3 separate interview days are evaluated. Since 11/24 and 12/1 interviewees heard back yesterday and today, I predict that you'll be hearing back in the next two batches. At the earliest, that would put you at 1/31.
