Geez. thats cold. if this happens to me and I haven't received a decision by April 1 I'm just going to call and stay on the phone until someone gives one to me.

Soooooo I don't think we should assume we're soft holds at this point. SLS hasn't rejected many people at all this cycle. Maybe we'll get a wave of dings this week.

[lsacqueen]

So SLS sent me an email and I almost had a heart attack. Turns out they just wanted an updated study abroad transcript with grades so they can "review my file." I told them this might be a problem as the grades don't transfer and they don't factor into my GPA at any rate because the classes were taken at a foreign institution. They still want the grades on the transcript...

Is this a good sign that they still care about me, or is this normal? Hoping it's the former...

Edit: complete mid-October

Hmmm, I wonder why they're so concerned about your study abroad grades. And if they're still reviewing Oct applicants, we have a looooooong way to go. Good luck!

it's a good sign that they care. don't question their request; just heed it.

[lsacqueen]

Well now I'm wishing I hadn't mildly blown off my study abroad grades, thinking they didn't matter because they don't affect my GPA... ughh. Thanks for the good vibes guys

I'm simply encouraged by the fact that they are still reviewing these early applications.

I had similar issues with classes taken abroad outside my school sponsored study abroad program (ie the grades didn't appear on my normal transcript). SLS was the only school that required an actual physical transcript from the foreign university :/

so if we have a "decision letter sent" status as of today, that's definitely a rejection?

Yes, that seems to be the case.

They've actually never heard of applications. Hence me and whiteys sitch.

[BigZuck]

If it makes you feel any less hopeful, I have autoreject numbers and I'm still alive.

HTH

But seriously, why leave so many people hanging with the slow ding/waitlist trickle? I wish they just ripped the bandaid off, Berkeley style.

[WhiteyCakes]

There's no reason to hope, right?

Well according to http://www.mylsn.info/whenwilliknow.php it's unlikely but not impossible for September submits to get admitted way late.
