Would anyone who has applied in the past please post when they heard back from whichever schools they applied to, accepted or not. For those of us in limbo who dont know what to expect, it would be very much appreciated. TIA

If you look at the acceptance and rejection threads from last year, for many of the schools people posted their interview and acceptance dates. Usually for many schools, they let you know about an interview about 2 weeks before the actual interview.

Oh yeah, it'll happen. We are just finishing up the application woes theme in here and next come the waiting woes stage, to be followed by, sometime in the winter around January or so, the acceptance/rejection woes.

See my last post in the waiting is awful thread. I explained there when I heard from the 6 schools I applied to. 🙂

I went back through and found the thread where people listed what dates they heard from the different schools.

Good luck to you all!

people heard back much earlier than i thought! on the schools websites, a lot say dont expect to hear back until march or april

UF notifies of interviews in Feb.
OK state notifies end of March (out of staters)

I think Miss. State notifies pretty quick via email (November~ish)

I've compiled this selfish list from last year's listed dates. This only includes the schools I'm applying to... (sorry) but I thought might interest people. This is the broad average from applicants reported last year (ie if one person heard by phone in early january and 8 heard by snail mail in early march, I put Mail in March).

Cornell: PHONE early january

Davis: EMAIL late march

Illinois: MAIL late february

Minnesota: MAIL early march

North Carolina State: MAIL early march

Oregon State: MAIL early february/ early march

Penn: PHONE early January until late feburary

Tufts: ONLINE early march

Wisconsin: PHONE late febuary/MAIL early march

i know a lot of people say that, but please don't count on that! there are plenty of interviewers that DON'T feel the need to telephone the night after the interview.

some call, some don't. everyone gets a letter.

Davis notified of interviews in mid-February, that might be something of note too.

Yeah, before you get that call, you'll get an interview letter. Then after the interview, you may get called that night (I got called at dinner when we got back from the interview) or not at all. Some people just got a letter later on.

Didn't know if you were listing when people hear the final decision or when you'd hear from the schools first.

So, by when will we hear if we even have an interview?

It depends on the school. Don't worry about it guys and gals. Ther's nothing you can do to make it happen any faster and it's going to be a long wait. Get used to waiting a few months. You'll drive yourself crazy if you're obsessed with your mailbox and email accounts right now. There wll be plenty of opprotunities to obess here in the near future.
