For those of us waiting for Oct. 15

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am not applying this cycle, but I just want to tell you all most sincerely- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

So amazing. I'm actually getting slightly emotional thinking how happy so many of you are.
Good luck to everyone still waiting!
 
Ooookay I have to leave for work in five minutes and I would really appreciate it if they would post my decision before I have to go...99% sure it's a deferral at this point but I just need closure.
 
Phone just rang. It's a number I don't recognize. "This is an incredible announcement from Expedia! Your telephone number has been selected for a $990 credit towards your next trip."

*hangs up and falls into a deep depression*
 
Wow all these acceptances. I'm so happy for everyone!

But OMG a $990 credit! :laugh: Where ya gonna go??

In other news, still haven't heard back, no one from my interview date has. The lady on the phone who told me all september interviewees would get a decision today lied.

Man, that's rough. Here's hoping you hear soon.
 
Received my first (and only) decision today, a post-interview rejection. This one stung because the school had one of the highest post-interview acceptance rates... I thought I at least had a fighting chance at the wait list.

I pretty much don't hear back from any other schools until November 15th. Here's to another month of anxiety~

It'll probably come today. One of the places I interviewed, in early september, Said we would all hear something back on October 15th.....silence.... so it'll probably be today! Hoping for the best for you, Lannister!

Don't lose hope - November 15 is closer than it has been all year, haha.
 
This may sound like a stupid question, and as I'm still waiting for an acceptance call it's not quite relevant to me yet, but a girl can hope...
So, say you're accepted to a school that you really like but have a couple more interviews in the next few weeks to schools that you could possibly love... When do you have to give the school that accepted you your decision? If you don't give a school a decision soon enough, do they give away your spot?

no you have until April to decide. you just have to confirm your spot but it's not binding.

You can "hold a spot" by paying a fee, typically around $100 🙄
 
Welp. Called up my school today and they told me it could be up to 6 more weeks until I get a decision. Seriously so annoyed. I'm fine with waiting but I'm just really ticked off that they specifically told me, TWICE, that I would get a decision on the 15th.
 
yay for (mis) setting the expectation >.<
I can imagine getting so ticked off to just withdraw the application 😛

Man this whole waiting thing is rough. So hard to stay positive. I've already prepared for the possibility of a career at Burger King. :help:

I'm still waiting to hear back from 2 other interviews from Sept, but having my first result be a wait-list is definitely poking holes in my confidence about interviewing. I've always been pretty good socially though (especially to superiors), but you never know...

I understand exactly how you feel. I didn't hear anything on Oct 15. Now I'm expecting a wait-list or rejection from the first school. Also wondering if I messed up my two other interviews... I thought I was an ok person.
