Did you email Ashley saying that you won't be able to make it to the Fresno interview?

Yep, I had to notify Fresno whether or not I was going to attend the interview before the end of December, if not then they’d ask another applicant.

I went to their DPT informational session and apparently, they rank you according to your GPA and GRE scores. They do NOT look at the other requirements.

Did you hear from CSUN yet?

Nope don’t lose hope because it seems like they sent out majority of the waitlist emails only over the last few days. Everyone I talked to received a waitlist email only.

I think tomorrow is the last day CSUN said they would let us know. It is pretty much letting us know if we are on the waitlist or not since they have given out acceptances already

Thanks for the update! Fingers could not be crossed any more at this point.
 
Anyone else still waiting on a admissions decision from CSUN?

Yup I am. Today is the day they said they will let us know. Pretty sure it is just to tell us if we are rejected or on the waitlist since acceptances were given out already
 
Just got accepted into Loma Linda University today for anyone who is waiting to hear back from them. Just keep checking your emails.

I know it’s 3pm now and I still haven’t received anything.

Last year I didn't get an email until close to 6 pm. ( this is my second time around )The wait is excruciating!
I feel like they send the email close to the office closing time so they dont have to deal with concerned student's phone calls.

I was thinking the same thing. I just want the wait to be over, it is definitely excruciating. Can’t agree with you more
