Members do not see this ad.

I did some searches from years past and apparently they send out acceptance via overnight DHL packages (maybe they've changed for this year)

If this is still the case, people should have heard today if they sent them out yesterday

Nobody has posted in the wall of fame thread, so I'm curious if anybody has heard yet

DHL would probably come separate from regular mail since it's like FedEx

i just registered with DHl to see if there was a package being shipped to me....it wasn't as clever a plan as i thought. you need a reference number. But if anyone figures it out, please tell! 🙂

Also, they won't necessarily send out everyones on the same day. It depends on when the committee meets to discuss you as an applicant, which could have been right after your interviews, or several weeks after. So....until I get a rejection, im HOPING FOR THE BEST!

Yes, i know, this whole optimism thing is new to me..... 😎

CONGRATS!!! Hope i can follow suit!

 

[cardsurgguy]

mid sept here too, and had a good interview, so hopefully that means I'll hear tomorrow

I read that waitlists/rejections come in regular mail, not the overnight DHL packages, so if it's not tomorrow or Thursday, then I'm not going to be expecting good news from them...

 

[zurned]

ok, new day, anyone hear anything?

 

[zurned]

Anyone!?!?!

 

[cardsurgguy]

does anybody know if DHL leaves packages at homes even if nobody is home?

I didn't receive a DHL package....so I called the school and they told me that my file is still with the committee eventhough I interviewed on one of the first days. She said that no decision has been made yet.....does this mean I suck? or that I'm in the "maybe pile?"

a few days ago when I searched from last year, people said that it all depends when your interviewer presents to the committee
this is why I'm not thinking that just because we didn't get a package in the last few days, it doesn't mean anything

I was in the first few days they interviewed too, which is why it's frusterating not hearing yet, but oh well, nothing we can do about it...

thank you so much! I've been feeling like crap all day long because I thought they had deemed me incompetent.

Nonsense! Don't be so hard on yourself!!

Think about this...If you were incompetent, you wouldn't have been invited to interview on one of the first days they interviewed...

once again, brand new day. Any word?

Does anyone know how Stony Brook works? I thought they only met every 3 weeks...which means when they mail out packages, they should be sent out in one go....but judging from last year's applicants, it looks like they were sending out packages every day. What's going on? Should we be expecting packages or should we wait another 3 weeks before we get anxious?

 

[cardsurgguy]

you'd think that people who interviewed in the first few days would have heard back

anybody hear anything yet?

spagettios, when you called and they said your file was still with the committee, did they say how long until you should hear?

She didn't say how long. She just said that my file was still with the committee. I don't mean to whine or sound pessimistic. I'm just being realistic...there's a good chance they're just not sure about me, so they want to go over more apps to see how I compare.

 

[zurned]

I interviewed on the first day, and i still havent heard anything. I would call up but im afraid of being told I'm rejected over the phone. Just praying for at least a wait list.

If you interviewed the 1st day, you must be good enough that you won't get rejected this early.
