**Official Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread 2014-2015**

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I think I'm 1st-2nd batch and haven't heard back from 14 schools in about five months.. lol Honestly, at this point you'd think I either qualified for an interview or didn't. I'm not sure what they are waiting for.. Either they are waiting to hear back from all the super qualified candidates to see if there is free space to give me a shot or I am going to get 14 rejections come December 1st.

They can reject you before December 1st, so I'm going with the first option. I am hoping to hear back from 13, so I know how you feel.

Yup, they don't need to wait till Dec. 1st to reject applicants, although I've heard that some didn't hear anything until Feb/Mar? It's a long process for some of us, so staying positive is key.
 
To be fair, I've already received "rejection" by UCSF and UMKC, though both cited that I'm an OOS applicant and did not meet their more stringent requirements for OOS applicants, which I was well aware of when applying but did so anyway to appease some ppl in my life...

I can only imagine how anxious you must have been feeling if you had to wait 3 months!!
Congrats.
 
I was definitely running out of hope quick! But it's a huge relief, especially since Louisville was one of my very top choices!
Thanks!!
Yeeehawww!!! That's awesome. Good stuff!

I'd like to know too. Mine changed from "complete" to "under review" a long while ago and then went back to "complete" on 10/17. Hopefully I'll hear some good news soon.

Hey congrats on the invite! My stats are close to yours! slightly higher GPA but slightly lower DAT. How many other schools did you get invites from?
 
I remember applying to NYU and it's listed under one of my school designations on AADSAS, but it recently disappeared under my "School Decisions" tab. So....does that mean that I've been rejected? I'm so confused....What happened?

I don't think nyu uses the portal for communication. Mentioned it in an email I believe.
 
does anyone know if the following schools are done sending out their pre-interview invites yet?
-UConn
-Stony Brook
-Pittsburgh
-Case Western
-Creighton
-BU


does anyone know if Stony Brook's and Rutgers still have pre-dec interviews?
 
All of my schools say "Received/Under Review" except CWRU which says "Received/Complete". Does this mean they haven't even looked at my app yet?

Thanks!! Yea, it changed back to complete on 9/26. So it took a while after that to hear back.

Stony brook gave some invites in an older thread around early/mid november. I'm sure Rutgers is still inviting people. Buffalo still has dates too

I wouldn't get too down on that, a friend of mine was pretty unimpressed with their program/facility at an interview. Not slinging mud at those that like it, but just remind yourself that sometimes they're saving YOU the grief of finding out what a bad match it is for you both.

Interesting. I have attended 4 interviews total thus far and thought Nova's program/facility were amazing. Not to mention the feeling of camaraderie amongs the students but hey to each his own

I went back in September. It didn't even resemble an interview. The guy asked me 2 questions about my extracurriculars and then we spoke about Derek Jeter and the baseball game the night before for the next 20 minutes. Other than that, there was an hour Q&A with the dean of admissions and the rest was lunch with students and a tour. Don't get nervous it was really one of the easiest I've been on, you'll do great.

I had my UConn interview last week. The associate dean of admissions told us that they only interview 160 students a year and all are before December 1st, none after. He said they invited 155 already. If anyone declines an offer of admission, they just keep pulling from the 160 interviewed list and won't invite more for interview because there is no need to. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news for anyone.

I'm assuming Stony Brook is still inviting, I just got one not too long ago.

Dang, $90 plus supp fee for nothing. But thanks for letting us know, Youhadtobethatguy, No point in staying optimistic for a lost cause.

Not all 155 were interviewed, just that many invites for interviews were sent out. I think you could have scheduled through November. But I guess if people don't accept the invite for whatever reason, they may send more invites to reach 160 interviewees.

If you don't mind me asking, how long ago were you notified about stony brook? And what day is your interview?
