*EDIT* LETTERS ARE OUT!
ACCEPTED!!!!1111111
Congrats!!! Great way to end the week!
Thanks!!!! 😀
I really had a great feeling about the place, the people, and the program during the interview. Plus, after five years in the Midwest, I think it's time to come *home.*
But it's still early in the cycle, so I'll see where the chips fall.
Yay!! Me too. Indeed, let's see where the chips fall. But it's nice to have this one in the pocket.
We have till December 15th.
Thank you!
Hello, this is my first post on SDN though I've read through the forums for some time. I appreciate the discussion, as it has been very helpful. I had a quick question to those of you who got interviews- how long did it take for a confirmation email to be sent to you? I was called last week (Thursday I think) and I still haven't received a confirmation, and was wondering if I should call to be safe.
Thanks, and good luck to everyone.
Thanks, and good luck to everyone.
I received my interview confirmation email on the same day I got the call or the day after. If you got the call you should be fine, they are probably busy. I would give them a call, all the admission people are nice and helpful.
Good Luck🙂

I was wondering if my fellow SDNers can help me out with my dilemma.
I have an interview for 11/19, and originally VCOM was my top school, which I got accepted into, but the more I learn about this school, the more I really think I would love this school and be happier in Pomona. Anyways, the deposit is due for VCOM on Dec 15 and if I don't get into Pomona I would send in that check. I was wondering if there was any way I could have the school tell me over the phone if I was accepted sometime before that date? I am not sure how to ask them and just looking at how long it took people to receive the snail mail acceptance letters terrifies me! Any advice? 😕

I interviewed on 9/22 and I was told I should recieve a decision letter sometime this week. They tell you it will take between 10 and 15 days but it has been more like 3 weeks for me.
From their website: Acceptance letters are mailed no more than two weeks following your interview.
To what I've heard directly from western is that they do notify you within 2-3 weeks. Hope that helps
I interviewed on 9/23 and received my letter on 10/7. I have heard if you have an acceptance from another school and want to know your interview status to pay the deposit they will have you fax the acceptance letter and if it is urgent , they will inform you about the admission decision over the phone.
I am an instate as well, I submitted my secondary 7/30 and didn't hear from them for awhile. I thought that was it for this school and then a little more than 2 months later I got a call offering me an interview. I have slightly lower stats than you so I expect you should be getting a call anytime now.
Yeah there is no sense in testing things if you're in this situation. A politely worded email with some documentation would seem appropriate. I remember getting a call while in europe since I was in a similar situation with another school. 👍
I would give them a call. They have been friendly every time I have called.
Received the mail today.. placed in alternate status. God damn it.

My secondary application link is not working. Does anybody else have the same problem? I hope it's not because it has passed the 10 day deadline =( . I read somewhere that they accept until 30 days after. It's been a little over 3 weeks. I'm not procrastinating. This is my #1 school and it's been so hard to write the essays. =(
Congrats! Interviewed on the 22nd as well and still no news. I am going a little stir crazy!
Mine still works and shows an app for pomona and one for lebanon.

I haven't heard of one. Was gonna start one when I get accepted. Unless someone else wants to start it now?
Let us know if you create one. I don't use facebook but I think its about time I join the network 😀

I had an acceptance from another school who needed a deposit this week, so I called them. If you have a deposit due ASAP, I suggest you call them too! FYI they ask for proof of the letter.
Good luck!
Same here...got the call yesterday. Will definitely attend.
ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOHOOOOOOOO! 🙂 I interviewed on 10/6/11.
I also had a pending admission elsewhere and found out via phone 🙂 Spoke with Martha and she was a doll 🙂
Hope you all get the same good news 🙂
congrats man...hey in my slew of excitement, I probably shut off the old ears while Martha was explaining the details, but did she say the letters went out yesterday too?
She said the letters would go out today or tomorrow
