What to Expect When You're Expecting Part Two: Class of 2018 Forum

edit: I just had one UR for NYU too

The UR part doesn't change but the date does. You go UR almost immediately after submission.

To budge in and clarify as a rowdy newcomer, though, I only had one UR date for NYU and got admitted straight afterward. Meaning, I went UR one day after submission (12/19), the status checker date did not change at all until 01/07, which is the day that I got the DLS state update. I checked on 01/06 and the status was still "Under Review 12/19," and I remember thinking 'okay, they are still stuck,' so I am certain about this . Low 170's/4.0X.

We might want data on the types of WL/ which WL are soft denials or w/e?

I'm sure someone has done the research.

This would be very helpful. As well as when people are typically pulled off.

RE: UCLA WL
Acc. to its email (2015), UCLA pulls around 10-25% of its incoming class from WL.

same except with Columbia? Submitted about a week ago and haven't received a status checker, just the email saying they've received my info and my app is complete.

I submitted mid november and have heard back from 6 schools. How late should we expect answers till :/ Still waiting from UPenn, Cornell, Berkley, Vandy, and others.
I am at some UR dates with them but I keep getting skipped over during the sweeps, at least I have not been dinged but I am hoping to hear back soon so I can buy tickets over spring break to visit schools.

I'm in the same boat and I submitted at the end of October.

Chicago: Email
NYU: Email. Vanderbilt (full tuition) via mail
Penn: Email

Notre Dame seems to be emailing and calling at least some accepted students.

I don't know what YP means, but I was admitted to Cornell without interviewing and my numbers are slightly borderline (GPA 75th percentile, LSAT 25th percentile). I also checked my status about a week before being admitted and it was still at the application received or complete stage, I forget what exact working was used.

Does anyone know how long NYU and Penn apps are "under review" before decisions are made? I'm under review at both, since 1/26 at Penn and 1/5 at NYU, and would really love to be accepted to either. My cycle is going well but NYU is my dream school and Penn is... Penn.

I'm still waiting on an SMU decision. Does anyone here know that process?
