Ok, it has been 13 weeks and I have not gotten any sort of correspondence from UCSF since my interview. They explicitly state that they don't want phone calls asking for application status, but I figured that 13 weeks was a bit too long. I called and told them it has been 13 weeks and that I just wanted to make sure that they never sent any mail to me that may not have arrived. They took my name and got back on the line, 'souljah, believe it or not but there hasn't been a decision made yet on your application. no news is not necessarily bad news. we'll be making the rest of the decisions within the next 2 to 3 weeks so you should be hearing from us in May. We will be sending out acceptances, high priorities, and rejections'. Now, I've thought about it and I am completely confused. Many of you have interviewed after me and have gotten responses (A,W, and R). I would think that it wouldn't take 13 -16 weeks to reject me, right? I try to rationalize why it is taking so long, but I can't come up with anything other than:
a. my application accidently slid under a filing cabinet and noone knows yet
-or-
b. they are waiting to see who keeps their acceptances before making a decision on my app
-or-
c. please put your thoughts here..
also, two weeks after my interview I wrote the committee of admissions a letter stating that UCSF was the best fit for me and that if accepted I would definitely attend. i'm not sure if that makes any difference, but figured i'd throw that into the mix.
