When were you accepted?

[KiltedKicker]

Also just got my offer. Accepted mid-January. I have a Mordecai from Duke, when would it make sense for me to try to negotiate? Should I wait to hear if NYU or Penn offer anything?

[Tycho]

Also got scholly offer, admitted mid-January. I'll post to the sheet once I get a chance.

Ditto. Accepted in first wave

[darthslughorn]

Also got an offer. When do you think we should start negotiating? I have a larger offer I would love to use to try and get a little more scholly.

All non-Ruby merit offers I take it? Does anyone mind sharing the approximate size of their offer? Anything approaching full tuition, or is the Ruby basically the only shot at that? Looks like the 2/4 wave will have to wait a week or two for more scholly information.

Got the scholly offer - genuinely expected nothing so like... I'm not super bummed about the pocket change
Is Penn close enough ranked that i can use them to negotiate??

Completed my interview today. Went pretty well. All the questions I got were in the post on pg. 18!

Anyone who interviewed remember how long it took them to get back to you? Had mine about a week ago so I know i shouldn't expect much.

It took 6 days but I also had my interview right before the first batch of acceptances. I think they release in waves? *not positive*

It took like 3 weeks for me.

I interviewed on 12/18 and was accepted on 2/4

Congrats on your scholarship! I'm pretty sure it's solely merit, because I got one today without applying yet for finaid.

There is an official appeal form that they will send you. You can wait until then.

Wahrheit - thanks for your consistently helpful advice ITT. can you elaborate a bit on what the appeal form looks like? haven't heard of a similar process for responding to/challenging scholarship offers at other schools so i'm really curious. thanks in advance.

Tested out my skype connection and camera last night to make sure I would be ready for my interview today. Worked perfectly. This morning I tested how I looked on camera using photobooth, which made me realize my glasses were reflecting the screen and I should put in my contacts. When I came back, 7 minutes before the interview, my camera was no longer recognized by photobooth. Interviewer called and I could not connect my camera. After trying to fix it for 5 minutes, she asked me to reschedule for next Monday.

I sent an apology/thank you email, but I guess that is all I can do. Feeling pretty bummed right now. Has this happened to anyone else? I know it doesn't reflect well, but this can't be a make or break, can it?

[mosesboeba]

perfect, thanks.

Wahrheit, another question - do you know when the "bulk" of students got admitted off the WL? I tried to dig through the 2018 thread but it's not super helpful; probably a combination of not too many WL admits, and just kids giving up on TLS. I know you can wait as long as classes starting, but what is realistic - June? July? August?
