Figured I'd start one of these. Anyone else throwing their hat in the ring?

[fsb9]

Yep, I'm in!

If you got questions shoot. Last year they emailed the acceptances the Friday before memorial day.

And the contingent performance requirement is meaningless.

[wsn88831]

do they notify admission via email or phone call?

[lasersgopewpew]

I take it that pre-Memorial Day e-mail was for ED? Any ideas on when regular decisions went out?

What are everyone's stats? I'm male, non-URM, not much work experience, 3.9 at mid T2. How much do we think softs matter?

It's such a mystery as for softs. 4.1 T-25.

Nice work on the grades. Where's your school located?

[fsb9]

Anyone under review?

How long does it take to go from incomplete to complete? I'm paranoid that my school hasn't sent them the certification form or whatever.

nah breh, still complete.

yo, bro, if you are still incomplete, it's probably b/c your school hasnt sent in that form

Do you think they take into account how far in the 1 month window (apr 15-may15) you send in your app? Aka, do you think someone that sends in the app ON Apr 15 is advantaged, and a person sending it in say, today, is disadvantaged? Or for this process maybe that doesnt matter and they just start reviewing them all in one batch come May 15?

Me too. Maybe they're getting a lot of apps this year?

Under review now.

How long did it take everyone to get a status checker

[fsb9]

I'm under review too. Also, I got my status checker the day after I applied, I think.

Fsb when was ur app complete and when did ur status change? And for ne1 else - I wonder of they are doing this on a rolling basis or if they just decided to start reviewing everyone's these last couple days?

I went complete on the 26th or so and went under review yesterday. I am pretty sure they make the decisions all at once and you're probably not disadvantaged at all applyin anywhere in the window. There aren't a whole lot of people that apply for a transfer and within that many fewer doing it ED. So I assume you aren't at one.

[fsb9]

I was complete on April 30 (I think?), UR as of yesterday. I think the poster above me is right; they must review us all at the same time.

[jazzhou]

Yea it seems like we're all being reviewed at the same time. I submitted Tuesday, went complete yesterday and am UR today

[fsb9]

Nice, what are your stats?

You were right - they hadn't. Bastards.

[wonderfulworld]

Anyone else invited for interview (via Skype) for the ED transfer app process?

[jazzhou]

Nice, what are your stats?

T25 top 5%

also invited to Skype interview

[echooo23]

How long did it take to go from UR to interview?
