Delayed decision :/
Interviewed early October
Interviewed early October
I think you can still do them as Altus was changing the deadlines like 5 times and finally they just left it open.
Did you guys get an email notification?
Yes, email
Does anyone know from previous cycles what is the likelihood of being accepted after a delayed decision?
I haven't checked previous years' threads, but -- UIC accepts like 70-80% of students post-II, and that includes all the delayed decision and WLs. I wouldn't give up hope!
Thank you.
just got the A! over email. IS, interviewed about a week ago 🙂
Quick question, for those who've interviewed did your status change once you completed it? I just realized my portal still says your interview is scheduled for X date under the interview tab.
It stays like that after your interview and even after you receive a decision!
Thanks!

Bestie what's the secret for 18 IIs
If I got this correctly they essentially go over all candidates with “delayed decision” every meeting and compare them to the ones which didn’t have any decision yet. So practically you can get an A any time the committee meets (every third Thursday of the month).
I interviewed the same day as people above and haven’t heard anything, delayed decision, A, or R. So maybe decisions are still going out
Yeah
They use the system to mark people into statuses and their system sends emails automatically. So the order is probably as they talk about people.
Delayed decision 😔
Got the delayed decision. I felt great about my interviews, no regrets. While I was hoping for an A, there’s not much I would change.
Also a delayed decision :/

Is it just me or does anyone feel like there are a lot more delayed decisions this cycle? Probably a result of people not cancelling any virtual interviews
Is delayed decision a rejection 🙁?
This and also most likely a result of last cycle. Apparently they overfilled their class and asked people to defer a year, although barely any did. They are probably making sure that doesn't happen again.
I assume that means we likely won't see a change in delayed decision until much later in the cycle :/

Delayed decision 🙁
+1 🙁
I have no idea. I heard they overenrolled from some M1s this year, so maybe maybe not
Do you know if delayed decision turn into acceptance?
seems odd to have so many delayed decisions when they emphasized on interview day how ~80% of interviewees get accepted...
I'm not sure, but based on their website, it seems like you are re-reviewed at every committee meeting.
Judging from previous year's posts, very few individuals had their delayed decisions turned into acceptance.
My guess: it’s only been one week, so not much has changed. I imagine we will start to see movement for Delayed Decision applicants more and more as the cycle progresses. But that’s all just pure speculation.
edit: looks like this might not be the case, based on the previous post
You are right. I was very grateful for the interview opportunity, and I did feel good afterwards. To that end, I would change very little about it even now. Oh well. Here’s to hoping…

Per their website, delayed decision means you will be re-reviewed at every committee meeting until May 1st. If you have not been accepted/rejected by then, you will be put on the official waitlist may 1st.

Got the A. So grateful! First acceptance. Re-applicant. International. Interviewed on 10/13.
i'm pretty sure were all still in it, there's like 13 delayed decisions in this group from today alone. if you look at previous years, they usually get like 1-2 per decision day, most responses are acceptances. it seems like this year they are being more careful with A's due to the issues they had last year, but I think we all still have good odds of getting accepted
