I got accepted last week to my top choice! I was very fortunate; they told us a specific date (post-15th) we would hear back and were very transparent about their admissions process.
I have been slowly releasing the news, though, since I'm still kind of taking it in. At first, only my fiance knew. She told her family almost immediately, though. My family still doesn't know but they will soon. I'm almost beginning to wonder if I should just surprise them with the news at Thanksgiving since that is not too far away.
Guys, interviewing is tough. I felt the same way you all did. This week is the first one in 2 months where I don't have to attend an interview (my other week off was one where I was sick). The best advice I can give is to relax as much as you can prior to interviewing. The one where I felt the most relaxed/refreshed was one where I spent the 2 days prior staying with family OOS close to the interview. I just watched football all day then went out to a shopping area/a town area with them the next day. For the interview I had after that, I felt so good and on top of things. I work full time so I usually come back the day of my interview and begin working the next day which, in hindsight, I can tell you that it takes a toll you don't necessarily notice. Hang in there!
Dude, that sucks. Luckily, if they said that, they meant it. It's likely something during the cycle (new rules, something with applicants, weather, etc.) just delayed what they promised you. Hopefully their communication improves and they can tell you why it's taking so long.
I don't know how you delayed the AACOMAS app for so long. I couldn't hold out and ended up doing mine back in late August because I got a little anxious, haha.
Congrats!
