I am not thrilled at waiting either. I submitted my apps in Nov. and took the OAT at the end of Dec. I finally heard back from SUNY ("early grades too low") a few weeks ago but am still waiting to hear back from ICO and NECO. In my correspondence with Dr. Denial, she told me that although there were some good points in my application, she knows that the admissions committee will be concerned with my first two years of college (she also asked if I had any comment about it). Nice to know that they'll at least consider my application with bad grades but who knows how much they can forgive. I suppose I could just take even more classes after I graduate.
Unfortunately, both ICO and NECO told me that my file will be reviewed again in March in the next review cycle.
I guess it would have paid off more to submit my applications at the beginning of the application period rather than the middle. To all applicants in the years to follow: apply early! you never know how long it will take for them to receive all your app. materials and when they get them, you can't count on getting a response any time soon. The sooner you submit everything, the higher your chances at getting a seat in the first round.
Guess I should start looking for a job in case things don't work out this round of applications. Anyone in need of WEIGHT LOSS PILLS THAT MAKE YOU DROP 50% OF YOUR WEIGHT IN JUST 5 DAYS? No? Then how about my secret CIA INTERNATIONAL SPY SECRETS & TECHNIQUES CD? Do I smell a group buy?
Best,
Jeff
