I will be on campus today. Let me know if you have any questions about Cumberland.

I just want to know when I will get a decision

Definitely ask when they expect the next round of decisions to be coming out. What's with them this year?

My status checker updated from "received" to "complete" yesterday. Maybe they're making progress?

[J21]

Same here, if you don't mind me asking what are your numbers? (to all in this post)

Haha, not likely! I've been complete since 12/8 and I'm well above their 75th percentiles....

Has anyone talked to them and asked when they're going to start reviewing because I think they simply haven't started.

Ha! I have been "under review" since 12/8, and this note is at the top of my status checker:

"Your application is now under review for admission. Please allow 2 - 4 weeks for a final decision to be reached. Updates about your applicant status, including final decisions, will be updated online and emailed to the primary email address you provided in your application. Please wait to receive this information electronically, as we are unable to confirm decisions over the phone.

2-4 weeks my ass.

I applied whenever they started taking applications. I was admitted early december and was on campus this weekend for a scholarship interview (6 others attended). They said that there will be 2 more dates for these interviews (mid feb and early march). The campus is as good looking as it gets and everyone is extremely nice. Im sure most of you have nothing to worry about and will be invited to these interviews.

I have been "under review" since 12/8. 2-4 weeks have come and gone. I called last week and was told it would be the end of the month. I am hoping that means any day now.

It is certainly one of the nicest looking campuses in the country! (Did some of my undergrad work there)

[Albatross]

Yea, I've also been complete since 12/8. Samford is breaking my balls.

Did your status checker say Decision letter mailed or Decision letter emailed? Mine said emailed but I haven't gotten anything.

Under review as of today. Hopefully it won't take a month and a half like the last few decision.

Good luck. I hope it doesn't take as long for you.

my application status still says your app has been rcvde 12/31/11 - When should it go complete? And then under review?

Mine went complete a couple of days after that - it was the under review that took forever.

I think it is weird that it hasn't gone complete yet. I haven't rcvd an email from them about needing anything else, any advice?

I've been complete for nearly three months and just recently went under review last week. Samford is taking forever this cycle.

[txag10]

They are slow. I've been complete for a while, but not nearly as long as some of you.
