has anyone who submitted after 9/23 heard anything? R or II, just curious. not sure if this school reviews in order anyway though
I submitted much before and still haven’t heard anything if it helps. I got rejected in April last year
 
That sucks I'm sorry 🙁

What did the email say? I'm IS and have heard absolutely nothing from them, radio silence
The Admissions Committee completed a thorough review of your application and has placed it in the "Continue to Review" Hold category.

Your application will be reviewed periodically during the remainder of the process until a decision is made whether you will or will not be invited for an interview later in the cycle.

any re-applicants that got II’s before hear back yet? nervous as I’ve improved my app over the last few years but it’s still silent. they’re my first choice 🫩
 
Just got put "On Hold"/"Continue to Review" category as an OOS student. Application was complete on 7/22. I have heard that this school interviews a large amount of OOS after the new year, but does anyone have any input on this as to how good/bad my chances are of getting an interview?

My II was also weird. The interviewers were oddly super dry.... Not at all interested in what I was saying, it was very standardized. Wasn't the best experience, but it may be their style
I am so glad I am not the only one who had this experience. I left feeling absolutely awful, but I really liked the Dean and student sessions. Have you received a decision yet?
