Secondary received July 13, 2022 and submitted same day. Interview invite received July 14, 2022. In-state applicant with work experience on campus.
 
Got rejected today at 3:51 CT time. OOS, ORM, LizzyM 70.4. Not gonna lie, this one hurt as it was my first R and this is my first cycle. I'm going to submit an appeal, not sure what good it will do but I have to try.
 
OOS (ties to state) II received 8/05, complete 7/19
 
Has anyone tried to appeal a decision and worked? I got no ties to Nebraska.don’t know if it’s worth it or not.
 
Pre II R received today. OOS with somewhat state ties/ family alum. LM 73. Thats 2 pre II R's to 0 II's sigh
 
II received on 9/8! OOS, ORM, LM 70. I got the rejection email on 9/1. Decided to appeal because I had nothing to lose. I submitted my letter of appeal on 9/5 and received an interview invite on 9/8 with very few ties to the state/school. So, don't be afraid to appeal if they give you the opportunity!
 
Any OOS applicants already interview? Just curious what kinds of questions they ask to OOS applicants, since they're a p heavy in-state school. Also, does anyone know how long it takes to hear back after the interview?

I'm OOS and interviewed last week. Its closed file so I don't even know if they know we are OOS. Didn't ask anything about it. They said they will release decisions in 2023
 
They mentioned that decisions would not go out until after January, and at the latest, March 24th.
 
I was also accepted around December 12 and LM is 76. In state.
 
Anyone hear back this morning? The Tuesday after MLK day seems to be when they start sending decisions out again.
 
Does anyone knows if they are still interviewing or they are done with the interviews for this cycle?
