I kind of feel like they do URM calls and other calls separately. Maybe I'm just crazy? But I feel like I've been noticing that pattern.
Are all of us late January completes? This wait from SLS is killing me.
You think that's bad? I went complete in mid October.

I avoid answering my phone for numbers I don't know for that reason. They normally send an email following up and I respond to that.

Congrats on UCLA Tosh!

Hope everyone's decision making process is going well. Some tough choices ahead, no doubt.

I'm gonna wait two more weeks before I make my deposit. I want to go ahead and pull the trigger on my #1, but I feel like I might get lucky with $$$ for Cornell and Northwestern. Probably no chance in hell I get off Duke's WL, and Georgetown is a waste of money for my goals.

Does SEO send out rejection e-mails?

Or will you simply not hear back if you are "rejected".

Applied back in Feb and have heard nothing from them.

They eventually send out rejections but not until late. A lot of people aren't accepted into SEO until late-April/ early-May because they require you to make a seat deposit before formally accepting you into their program. Since a lot of people in the program traditionally attend top schools (schools like HYSCCN that take an eternity to get back to certain applicants), the whole timeline gets pushed back.

I think I'm going to start withdrawing my apps today. The only school I haven't heard from yet is NYU, and at this point I know I won't get much aid if accepted. Same situation with the schools who wait-listed me.

So I'm going to UCLA's Welcome Weekend next week. It's all expense paid, so I figured... why not? I'll let you all know how it goes.

Am I the only one still waiting to hear back from 3 schools? I applied in mid-Jan and I thought I would be done my cycle by now

I'm waiting on nyu, Columbia and Emory. But I probably wouldn't go to any of those schools. I'm going to start withdrawing from waitlists soon.

I'm ridiculous and I applied to a ton of schools (22) and I am waiting for 19 schools. I also applied late af so I'm concerned but not too concerned since I already got into a school I am really happy with :)
