For people who got accepted, how long did your portal say "awaiting decision" before you got the acceptance?
It was a few weeks for me


Has anyone gotten any sort of further communication after the acceptance? they mentioned an admissions data form they need filled out in like 2 weeks but i cant find anything?

So if I just got "awaiting decision" today, I can assume that I didn't get passed over for the first acceptance wave and they just reviewed my application recently?
 
+1 IS II

i really thought my cycle was over so i'm overjoyed that they're even giving me a chance. but since they're rolling now, are my chances lower because im interviewing so late in their cycle?
It’s anyone’s guess!!

My daughter interviewed in October but hasn’t heard back while others have. I don’t know if that means she didn’t get in … we just have to wait!

Best of luck!!!

I interviewed in mid-November. Does anyone remember if they said when we could expect to hear back? I am trying to figure out how to time my update letter to them.
 
This might be a bit ridiculous but during my interview they seemed to say that we could call and potentially check where our application is in the process. Did anyone else get that impression? Has anyone called? Just curious…

Interviewed on 10/29/25

No call, portal says “awaiting decision”

Is this a waitlist? A rejection? They DID already reject people, so it’s not like I’m rejected but they didn’t tell me. They would have updated me if it was a rejection, so I’m guessing waitlist?

I assume many others are in this position

When did your portal switch to awaiting decision?

I also interviewed on the same day, and apparently the people who interviewed before us got awaiting decision much earlier than me. I didn't get the awaiting decision on my portal until after people who previously got awaiting decision had received acceptances.

So I believe that they didn't make a decision on our application before the first wave of acceptances went out. Hopefully, we're in the second wave.

Congratulations to all those who received an acceptance. Is anyone deferred, wait listed or rejected post interview yet
