I was planning to apply around Nov-Dec, when my app will be perfect, but I will actually apply as soon as the first one here will post his admission, with an incomplete application, rushing the personal statement and forgetting the addenda I prepared carefully in advance.

I'm sure this has been answered a few times already but what's the process for scholarship information?

Did some digging and it looks like the deal is they may/may not email you in February to ask how much it'll take to get you there then they'll send out waves in March.

Unrelated, did anybody else get an extra, handwritten note from Dean Cornblatt at the end of their letter? Mine did and he said that my interviewer said great things about me. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. :D :D

Me too! It was personalized and commented on the humor of my Top Ten list. It made me feel important.

I got a personalized note as well, but, honestly, I suspect that the other admissions officers aid him in writing the personalized notes by saying, "comment on his video or top ten" but maybe I'm just being cynical after finding out that the President of my current school has a person that goes to all of his important events and tells him info about the people in the room (e.g psst. Mr Sam's son, Sam jr., just graduated from college and they have a golden retriever named Scruffy) so they can donate more $$, but hey what do I know?

No email or any other notification, I just put my stuff in and it finally worked.

I sent them an email last night asking when I could expect to gain access but they never emailed me back or anything like that.

Anyone know if they're putting together a "special preferred waitlist" this year? The "preferred waitlist" email mentions the existence of the "waitlist," but I've heard that they've also had an SPWL in the past that's been more of a secret.

Not sure if this is the "preferred waitlist", but I got an email saying that they are putting my app on hold and will review it again in a few weeks

Has anyone who interviewed 12/18 or later heard back yet? Cornblatt said we'd hear within 2-3 weeks (with a twinkle in his eye) but I could've been hallucinating

Congrats! My mail has been late in the past so I'm going to choose to believe that's the case lol

I interviewed 12/21 and haven’t heard back yet—will update when I do.
Thanks! Godspeed USPS

I was also 12/18 but have heard nothing. If past iterations are any indication, looks like we might be looking at a waitlist...ChiCityLove are you able to log into the ASW?

Just got an email saying that I was placed on a waiting list. It also mentioned they carry a preferred waitlist, and that I should go with god and enroll elsewhere.

When did you submit/did you interview?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
