It's a Fact Book about UPSOM. I got this email just now; there are probably delays between sending out batches of emails.

Also anxious! Pretty sure they said before January 31st. Based on the last few years they've released decisions a few days before the 31st, but the exact day of that week is unknown.

 

[brainperson1]

Wait the exact release date isn’t Jan 31?

 

[a1324566]

Based on past years they're usually early. Stealing the data from last years thread but

For those of you who have interviewed a while ago, have you sent update/interest letters? Or are you waiting until we get decisions back soon? I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this as I interviewed here in September.

I interviewed in November and sent a combined update letter and letter of interest yesterday. On their website, it says "Our Admissions Committee welcomes letters of intent/interest and updates to your application. The most appropriate time to follow-up with us is following your interview or after the receipt of your official admissions decision."

+1 Haven't sent it yet, but am planning to very soon. Idk if it will make much of a difference one way or the other but I think it's worth it to try

 

[bernedoodle]

The holiday email / fact book. I interviewed 8/31

 

[stargirl_interlude]

[dudlee]

Where did you send your letter? Was it directly to admissions?

 

[Snoop32]

Release date is the 21st of January per what I heard during my interview.

Can anyone else confirm this?

 

[jumpingsilent]

Late January is the information I got at my interview.

I think they said we’d hear by January 31st, so that’s pretty consistent
