Yeah, she did. I meant that I'd be considered for admissions on Dec. 1 at only Penn and Creighton. Sorry to confuse you.

Also, if anyone wants to know, Creighton will send their letters out Dec. 1 also and won't update on AADSAS. That's what the lady told me at the admissions office


With regards to Creighton. That is strange as they have been updating the AADSAS site pretty constantly. Good to know. Sorry Sopink, I guess I was wrong.

I hope none of us would have to wait until 5th. But again, it is always better to prepare for worse (or whatever you might call it).


well, it depends on how they send it and where you live. Since it's Dec. 1 is a thursday, it could mean that many people will received their package on the following monday, tuesday or wednesday. Especially if they're in a different country like me 😀
 
Ah this suspense is killing me...
 
3 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes
 
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I JUST WANT AN ACCEPTANCE! and then some more. 😀

There's going to be a lot of disappointed people come December 1st when the mailman delivers NOTHING to their mailbox. :laugh:

:laugh:

Some people may be disappointed to see the mailman won't deliver anything @ 12:01 am on December 1st.
 
^ the e-mailman better 😉

EXACTLY! Do you guys know which schools let us know by email and which will torture us with snail mail???

i kinda wish every school would just update aadsas on dec 1. there's really no point in making us wait since they are allowed to notify on dec 1.

and since it really is all up to the post office to deliver, there's not much of a point making us wait because of the sluggishness of the post.
 
If you don't receive anything on Dec 1st, then call all the schools you applied to. I'm sure they'll answer the phone 😀
 
lol...that would be A LOT of phone calls for them to handle. I don't think it's wise to make the made, and alter your acceptance...heheh. j/k. I don't think they would be "too" mad. =\ but i wouldn't call...or would i? hMmm...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. 😀

Yeah. I think it would be more realistic to expect stuff during the first week.
 
Dec 1st-Dec 7th countdown starts...NOW! 😀 😀
We are all expecting something on Dec 1st, when we are all horribly let down and on the verge of pursuing a Phd, we will get something on Dec 5th that will make our day! 😎
 
It would be interesting to find out how many people NYU accepts without an interview. Does anybody know how they notify students? email?AADSAS/snail mail?
 
so if you don't get a letter from NYU for an interview, does that mean that they accepted you???

Cowsgomoo, I know what its like to be OCD and worried about everything, so I'm going to make a little prediction for you:
APPLIED: U Penn, U Conn, Columbia, Temple, MCG, Nova, NYU, BU, U Louisville, Tufts, UNC.
ACCEPTED: U Penn, U Conn, Columbia, Temple, MCG, Nova, NYU, BU, U Louisville, Tufts, UNC.

The only thing you need to be worrying about is the hand cramps you'll get from writing all those "Thanks but no thanks" letters to schools.

The main admissions secretary for Buffalo said that she updates their status web site at midnight on the 1st.

Anyone hear of any other schools which will let you know through e-mail, AADSAS, or their own web sites???
 
For schools that claim to update their site or aadsas at midnight on the 1st, or send you acceptance email at midnight, is it really true? It seems to be unrealistic for them to be working at such an hour, unless they do it in advance and it updates automatically when the time comes? I mean, the applicants might be anxious and up at the hour but I can't imagine why an admissions secretary would be dealing with such a matter way before his/her work day officially starts... not that I'll be checking right after midnight... 😛

I can't see anyone working at midnight either. It must be automated if this is really true.

I know Louisville will send out an email 12:01 in the morning to notify you. I don't know about anyone else though.
 
*clearing my throat and prepping my vocal chords for my usual countdown*
 
TWO MORE DAYS (after today ofcourse 😀 ) before we hit DEC 1st. Very calm now. No screaming. Whatever will be, will be. 🙂 I wish you guys all the BEST. Dec 1st is NOT the end of the world. It aint over till it's over! 😀
 
2 days, 22 hours, and 55 minutes...

Cheers

Who wants to hand out streamers, party hats, and those party blower things? 😀 😀 I wish those birthday party days weren't over....

We also need a few hundred bottles of champagne, sparkly confetti, and those cool plastic champagne bottles that you pull the string and they explode into strings of wonderful!!!!


SOOOOO excited 🙂 😎

SIGH, almost Dec 1st, and not an interview in sight... (Hangs head in shame, with sad look on face, and pouting lower lip) I just wanted to pop on here and wish you all who did get interviews good luck, im gonna come on here on Dec 1st and hope to see some of you celebrating your hard work and good news (just dont gloat, for those of us who havent gotten any letters yet..lol).. Best of luck to you all, and hopefully, i'll get to be one of your classmates....
 
*furiously rubbing me eyes* Shame? did i just read "SHAME?" No way. Don't hang anything in shame. you've worked hard and soon enough the hard work will pay off. All this just means that when you do get your reward you will appreciate it more because you waited longer. Keep your head up! You'll be fine. You have a nice attitude about wishing others good luck even when things aren't looking great for you, I believe you will get a chance and we will all be celebrating! I wish you the BEST! 😀
 
This is my 2nd time applying...don't sweat it! Improve the application and pray I don't chat on here next year this time.....
