Hi I'm new here and just panicking about this stupid process.

I'm confused about how DD works because it seems that there are no postII Rs but the email says this means you are either "waitlisted or accepted"? So does that mean that they just aren't rejecting people at all after IIs? That seems like a crazy thing to do lol

I was put on DD in late Jan and have been losing hope. Has anyone this cycle heard back from DD? Even to be put on WL?

They don't officially WL or R people til they've done a review of all interviewees from my understanding. So I imagine your position becomes more clear around April-May.

the website suggests DD cannot go to R. Maybe previous forums indicate otherwise. "Candidates in the DD status will be presented to the committee in subsequent meetings until a decision, accepted or waitlisted, has been made. While this status may be disappointing in the beginning, it is a temporary status."
 
Are they looking for a whole essay in the campus selection section of AMP, or just a short blurb about why I prefer a particular campus? I feel like I remember them saying it won't play a role in general admissions, just in consideration of which campus to place me at. But I don't want to ruin my chances at the school by submitting a 3 sentence blurb lol.

It has no bearing on admissions, it’s truly your preference. I wrote 3-4 sentences and got an A to my preferred campus!

Anyone have any insight into how great the CT Campus is for research? I prefer the more urban environment of CT, but I also don’t want to miss out on research in case I go for a more competitive specialty

Yes I feel that it means you’re accepted or waitlisted. I suppose there’s no point in giving you an R if you might be waitlisted or accepted as you say. That’s what I’m telling myself
