Did all of your portals change to show the deposit link yet? Mine still did not.

I wasn't home when it came and I told my husband if a letter from PCOM comes to please open it and text me the contents. I got the text when I was in my night lab! I was so excited, happy, and relieved. Thank you!

Congrats on the acceptances, everyone! Don't freak out if Nucleus doesn't update right away. Last year it took about 3-5 days for it to update so you could pay the deposit! :)

They weren't rejected. They have a row to put the date of a rejection if they were to be rejected. So rejection should be N/A or something. I misread it at first too lol
 
Congrats to everyone who received an acceptance!

I'm REALLY hoping I hear back from PCOM. This school is in my top 3 (probably #2, at the moment) of programs I would like to attend. I was complete on Nov 8, so it will be a little while, unfortunately.

Sorry, I copied and pasted from another person's acceptance post, so I actually meant the rejection date I received the small, regular-sized envelope in the mail. Good luck to everyone else interviewing! Does anyone know if there's any way to get feedback about our application?

Last year I was given a "delayed decision" letter as my first notification after my interview. I am not sure if "on hold" is similar to this. I would call/email to find out on Monday, however! Best of luck.

Oh yeah, delayed decision, it said that too, can I PM you about that?
 
I am sorry for silly question, but I got a bit confused! So portal will allow you to pay the deposit $250 only in the case of acceptance? TIA

Yes of course. Usually (not in all cases) the acceptance letter will precede the portal change to pay the deposit.
