Program-Specific Info / Q's Midwestern Question (IL)

[peachessccc3]

So I sent in my Midwestern application back on August 17th, and I still have not heard back from them. Another person who I talked to applied on August 20th, and already is getting an interview scheduled. Midwestern said that they will email people no matter what the decision is, but I am wondering why they have not emailed me yet saying if I am invited for an interview yet. Has anyone else had any problems with it?

I received an email early Sept saying they received my application materials, but haven't heard anything since.. Also getting a bit worried because when searching through previous threads, it seems the turnaround is normally faster. One person who posted from last year's cycle said she sent in her stuff in September, and hadn't heard anything by April.. When she contacted the Midwestern IL office they said that they were still reviewing her application??

I got the same email in early september. there are people from my college who were already asked to come interview. I emailed them and they said they are still reviewing my application.

Did you receive an email asking you to set up a portal account?

 

[jsy02]

Yes, I set up my portal account when they sent me an email saying they received my application.

I applied mid-October and still have not heard anything. I know someone who applied late November and had an interview in a couple weeks. Curious if anyone else has not heard anything yet.

 

[jsy02]

I applied at the end of August, but never heard anything back from them besides a notification that they received my application.

 

[kittenfiesta]

I applied in October and still have not heard anything back. I heard from a past professor that was on the admissions board that they are taking their sweet time with this years applicants and interviews.
