Bam!

FWIW I really came away from the UCLA interview with a bad taste in my mouth. They were like an hour late and for a non t15 enterprise it was all very huffy. Don't think you missed much except a chance for interview practice.

They have pretty similar numbers and are both MA. Tr got UCLA, while osh was WL; osh got Berkeley straight admit while Tr had to go through FR.

Going further, I find my cycle to be pretty strange. In the lower T14+ I'm killing it with $$$ all around, but once I wandered into the DMB range, I got no love, but then was back on fire for Penn, NCC and S. Why would that gap be there? It would make more sense for a sort of cascading of scholarship money the further up the rankings you go, but not this WL/Twist in the wind thing.

And then there's the crime committed against LC at UVA, WTF was that?
I can *possibly* shed some light on this. Went to a UVA dinner recently, and one of the addcom people were saying that they haven't admitted a ton of people with great numbers and that they realise that those people are offended/confused by that. They said they're looking for people who show a commitment to buying into the UVA community hype. So if LC is from California, and hasn't shown she wants to stay in the area or be very involved in that aspect of things then that could be part of the reason?
I'm sorry for being too poor to ever leave CA and visit VA/DC/MD, gosh!! *dramatic sobbing*

In all seriousness, I figured it was something like that. Suck my ass, UVA.

I'm just speculating. You're doing just fine without them anyway

Congrats gold33 and Oskosh!

In at NYU! Also, gold saved me from an even bigger emotional rollercoaster by pm'ing that I needed to add the "L" in front of my username in order to access the ASW. The URM support in this thread is beyond epic.

Thank you so much! Still in disbelief!

Congrats to everyone who got some great news today!

To everyone who was WL at Penn today, I am sorry, but I know y'all already have or are going to have better options than the U of PA.

I did just hear from NYU. I'm an RTK finalist and am going to NYC next month to interview...this would be one thing that would keep me out of Palo Alto...

Also in at NYU this morning! Very, very stoked. Submitted 12/31 (kind of clutched the RTK essay), UR1 1/6 and UR2 1/23. Now we just wait for that call. Congrats to everyone else who heard back good news today! Woooot.

wsag826 · Post by **wsag826** » Tue Feb 10, 2015 6:38 pm

IN at Northwestern today!!! *Dead*

Congrats to all. Said this before and will say it again re: UVA (and Michigan): they are not in positions to accept each and every qualified out of state candidate, even though we all know LC is probably among the most qualified candidates they've received applications from. As a result, I think you see weirder denials from both because they have in-state considerations to make.

This whole process is both frightening and fascinating. But that's why it makes so much sense to cast a wide net and blanket the T14 if possible, I guess. And UCLA, UT, Vandy, and WUSTL if one can afford it. Truly never know what's going to happen.

same...im going to withdraw from a couple of places soon.

On another note...what are some of the wait times from JS1 ---> JS2/ding/waitlist?

Don't worry about this; you two have other options and a JS to worry about.

Edit: Like Northwestern! Congrats 90!

Congrats! So is the interview a mere formality if they offered an acceptance at the end of it?

From what I've seen so far, a few of us have been admitted sans interview in what seems to be a greater frequency than Non-URMs
Yeah, I did not interview and it seems most (all?) of us in this thread who were admitted did not. Which kind of surprises me.

I didn't either and was accepted.
