That is fair. I know someone on here posted that they were rejected post-interview, so that does happen but most of the people are probably just not posting that (or just not on sdn).
Are they talking about coming off the waitlist or 20 spots in addition to waitlist movement? I’m a little confused by this statement.
same also theres two WL's. one is basically high priority where person is accepted pending seat opening and one is regular WL.
I believe it was 20 spots total based on what he said. That would be total from todays interviewees and waitlist combined. For example could admit 10 from todays interviewees and 10 from the waitlist.
but again, how about the high priority WL, where people were accepted pending seat? Did they already go through all of that?
That’s interesting because they had a lot of movement last year on the waitlist from my understanding, like close to 50 people. As someone on the waitlist, hoping he meant before WL movement, but good luck and wishing you the best.
i didn't hear any mention on APS so can't comment on that
APS is an acceptance so they have gone through that before the WL
APS is basically accepted pending seat, so its not an official acceptance cuz it doesn't go out til a seat is available. idk if they have gone through everyone who was placed on APS.
I am APS and I have not heard anything. If they have gone through that list already, I got left off it haha.
I'm going to start by saying I don't really know and this is definitely just inner musing on my part. That said, it doesn't make sense to me to consider accepted pending seat a full on acceptance if they have seats open. If this is an acceptance and there are truly 20 spots left to split between those interviewed in the last round and those on the waitlist, then why wouldn't those 20 have just gone to those accepted pending seat?
Hey Guys! Current student here. First off, please reach out to the admissions team for further clarification on the APS and WL designations. They will be straight up with you. Second, regarding the 20 open spots that Dr. Dougherty mentioned, Noorda has been really good at leaving open spots up until the last interview. Trying to give everyone a fair chance. Depending on what they saw at today's interviews, they may offer acceptances to some of those students and the rest of the open spots will start going to the APS. I have no idea how many APS vs WL spots there are but I think its a fair assessment that APS is a higher-ranked WL.
If it counts for anything, I was accepted in October and had the identical experience.
Ok I feel a bit better lol I know my answers were genuine and well practiced as well. So I was wondering what was going on lol. Now I wait. 🙂
They said that the admissions committee meet next Thursday so they’ll have a decision at that time. Please correct me if I’m wrong
That’s what they told me as well, they meet on the 30th and will try to let us know by email on the 31st
I just paid my enrollment fee and ordered my medical kit at the same time, I think my wallet has whiplash 😭 But anyway, really excited to see some of you on accepted student day!
Oh man big same, at least I'm getting travel points out of it lmao
excited to meet you too! When are you going apartment hunting? seems early now but so excited! Planning on moving in July 1st to settle in before starting class
I live in Provo and wouldn't recommend waiting until July 1st. With students and LDS missionary parents looking to find their kids places to live it gets difficult to find well priced housing.
Oh really? when would you recommend ?
Oo, well, that’s a bummer for me haha. I feasibly wouldn’t be able to move until mid June at the earliest, I’ll try and contact places and see if they’re willing to work with me. Thanks for the heads up!
May! I’ll look then during accepted student day! Then I’ll sign the lease and move in mid July!
I'm gonna be moving in early July, hopefully that works out for me. Gonna start looking for roommates in April. I'm going to try to fit in some apartment tours while I'm in Provo for accepted student day.
what kind of fees?
All the apartments have required fees like media packages, common area utilities etc.
I think that's normal especially for utilities and stuff, also noticed this
I would recommend looking into private room student housing or basement apartments depending on your situations. Provo has a free bus called UVX that drops off near the campus
I also think that's pretty normal. It's actually funny, I am from California and live there now (so blessed to see these lower prices in Utah) but I did live in NYC for awhile where it is the STANDARD to pay 1 mo rent, 1 mo rent for security AND 1 mo rent for the broker even if you didn't use one!
Yeah I'm on my second apartment in Utah and that's pretty normal, although how much and what is or isn't included can really vary from place to place.
Yea as compared to chicago the prices really aren’t that bad either!
I'm also from the midwest and this is much more affordable! I think it just depends on where we all come from haha
Zuntafi personally seems the best, I’ll probably go with them over Sallie Mae
