I think in your case that they're really giving a good look at your materials. In any event I'm confident you're either in or WLd and not dinged; they're simply spending too much time on you! Also, you'd have been placed on Reserve in one of the many great waves if they'd wanted to Reserve you, too - so I'm really leaning toward acceptance for ya, Keilz!

Hahah I know, just trolling. Seems like the time after interview and hearing back varies drastically. I'll take no news as good news.

Thanks! I have more hope that I'll hear back from CLS sooner than NYU, at least. I'm super surprised that I wasn't WLd already, but there def are still March WL waves to come.

Ahhh I know. Scored much higher on PTs and have one take left. If I don't like how my cycle turns out, the plan is to do a June retake. My cycle will be over if I get accepted to Texas! Honestly surprised CLS interviewed me.

I went complete a few weeks ago and I was wondering if it's too early to call the admissions office and just express continued interest. I'm not really sure what to say, but a friend who works in admissions suggested that I do that.

That's so weird because almost everyone I talk to said not to contact them. A few weeks is nothing. I went complete early dec and got accepted in the middle of Feb.


I think you should just wait.

OMG I was so not expecting this... but just got my admittance email/pdf today!

I was really expecting to get placed on the waitlist but dang! Miracles do happen! Hallelujah

Yeah I felt like it was a bit early to do that. I'll prob give it some more time.

Question - I'm not yet admitted (haven't heard back either way). Is there any scholarship/financial aid info I need to fill out in advance of admission? The wording is not entirely clear and I don't want to make an error in waiting to apply until admitted if that will put me out of the running of general aid.

They use CSS like many schools, so you can do that ahead of time.

Is there a penalty to NOT submitting that ahead of time?

No, there is nothing that you have to do ahead of time. You'll get 2 weeks (I think) after admissions to complete financial aid app.

Pozzo - can you point me to where you found this information?

My mistake, I just checked their website and it says March 1 even if you haven't been admitted. Must have been thinking of another school.

Does this deadline even matter for just unsubsidized loans?

March 1 is for need-based grants. If you just want loans and merit aid, then May 15.

Good to know, thank you.
