Does everyone get the Preliminary Review Complete email? Submitted September 15th and literally forgot about this school

When do we think early mid/late December interviews will hear? Hard having no timeline from them...
IS applicant. Yes forgot about this school. I live about 25 min drive from them. I submitted my secondary in the end of September. I just got the email last Friday saying preliminary review finally complete. Holistic… What does this mean? Do they send rejections too during preliminary review or does everyone get this? Do I have a chance? How soon after your prelim review was complete did you guys get an interview?

I'm pretty sure once you finish the preliminary review, now you're eligible to get an interview because you meet their application requirements. I got the preliminary review email mid-September and got an interview invite in early November.

Preliminary review completed on 08/20, no II. Am I cooked?
I live close to this school too. Preliminary was completed 11/24. No interview invite yet.

Was 3 weeks for me, prelim review 10/7 and then ii 10/28, I don't think they send Rs until end of the app cycle so starting in March
On admit.org it shows waitlists/Rs starting in December last cycle
I hope we all get IIs soon and hope we r all classmates.

How long do I wait before calling the office about not receiving the A email after the call?
It wouldn't hurt to call today or monday because the email also asks you to "accept" your acceptance via the AMP portal by a certain date. u might want to try logging into the AMP portal today regardless.

Thinking about writing a letter of intent to this school. I interviewed 10/30 and haven't heard anything since then. Do you think I should wait until I hear back from them or send the LOI?
When did you interview?
First 11/4 second 11/13

According to admit its like an 80% post-ii A but that includes applicants off the waitlist, chances are good i think
Would it be worth it to send an update letter if just got that holistic review email?
Do they accept update letters by email?
No idea
you can upload it on the portal

OOS Interviewed 10/30 haven't heard anything yet I am so nervy wishing the best for everyone
Can’t speak to current trends but like 3 years ago like 70%+ of the class got in off the waitlist however movement doesn’t really start until April I fear (I got in May 1st)

Is anyone else also getting frequent emails from them about attending their q&a and financial aid sessions even though we already attended during the week of our interview?

Yep. 10/26. I was wondering if it would be worth calling/emailing admissions for an update. I already sent an update letter, but at this point I just want to know generally when I can expect to hear back. Or would it be a bad idea to ask?

I am tempted as well but I think I'll just wait at least for now.. they seem to slowly be going through apps both pre and post II so it's just another waiting game! I might consider reaching out within the next 1.5-3 weeks if nothing happens
In the financial aid info session today they mentioned a turnaround time of 4-6 weeks and to email them for updates.
BUT I Interviewed at the end of October (13 weeks ago??) and have not heard anything.
I think this statistic is a good confidence boost, but I would recommend those of you interviewing not to let this make you complacent once you get the interview. This interview is not a vibe check. The interviewers will evaluate how you respond and react to the questions, as well as the substance of those answers. Say this as a forewarning, not to be an alarmist.
