Anyone who went under review around 10/24 still haven't heard? Do you guys think I should email?

I think the general rule of thumb is never email or call a school to check on your review of an application. You don't want to bug them or have a note put on your file if that's a thing IMO.

just went complete today 11/12... so pumped

Let me just reinforce what Raider said. You applied RD without fast track, which means you could be months away from getting a decision. Emailing them after a couple weeks because you haven't heard back will make you look like a crazy person.

do you think you could pm your stats??

Congrats! That makes me nervous, though. I'm on Day 9 of Fast Track and still being reviewed.

Edit: Wait... never mind. Totally misread your dates. Thought your complete date said 11/10, not 10/10 and you had a three day turnaround. Whew!

Same here, I'm on Day 7 of Fast Tract and being reviewed. Anxiously waiting. Good luck to both of us!

It does seem like they're making Fast Trackers wait for the full 10ish days before getting a decision. I think my numbers should get me in pretty comfortably, I'm just super paranoid that there is some glaring error or mistake that I've made on all my apps that will ding me everywhere.

Good luck to you too!

Don't worry about it, most people I've talked to got their acceptances on the tenth day (including me)!
Also, has anyone who has been accepted received anything from them via snail mail yet? In the acceptance email, it said something along the lines of "you will receive your admission packet shortly," but it's been a week and I still haven't received it.

I got mine about a week later. Just a letter and view book. Letter said all scholarships and further notifications are done through email.

I'm assuming everyone just got that email about Public Service Scholars?

I think I have a mini heart attack every time I get a mass email from a school I've applied to.

lol I was just about to ask everyone this, but yes I got it.

[whitespider]

Yeah, same here...

Day 10 of Fast Track, so it was , then

[Username123]

I just got it too and turned in my application two days ago.

Has anyone gotten accepted that didn't apply via fast track? How long did it take for you to receive your acceptance? Went to "being reviewed" status and just want a general idea of how long I should expect to wait. Do you think stats matter in terms of how fast you hear back?

I wasn't Fast Track and heard back two days after my SC changed to review

[Westofeden]

Part of my status checker has been missing for a few days. There is no "current status" line. Odd

You're not alone. I was wondering the same thing

Day 11 of Fast Track... Hoping Monday bears good news.

Mine is the same way... And I'm on day 9 of fast track. A little confused.

[Wingtip88]

I applied Fast Track on the first day it was available and received an email informing me that I was admitted to the Class of 2018 on exactly the eleventh day.

The hard copy admissions packet came in the mail over a week later.

Relax, y'all. Either they are going to accept you or not. We are just halfway through November.
