[septembers]

Hey everybody! I've been lurking and silently commiserating forever, but just got my acceptance yesterday so I wanted to post here in case it helps anyone out. I got the email around 10PM Saturday EST. Submit late Jan, complete early Feb. PM for stats or anything! I'm still in shock.

You're still alive...that's all that matters. Good luck!

In the past, what generally happens to early completers but late hearers?

I was complete end of October. (above both 75ths if relevant).

This. If you're an early completer but haven't heard, you basically know that you made it to FR (otherwise they'd have got you in the February ding wave). And either you have some super super slow reviewers or you're an 11. I think some 11s get straight admitted, others WLed and still others dinged. Anyone who gets a 12 gets in.

Lurker checking in. Submitted 2/7, complete 2/17. Yale Mary, full of grace...

[ElizabethKB]

To those still waiting and pressured with scholarship deadlines from other schools, I thought I'd share this gem. Dug it up from way back when, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who was worrying/wondering about this.

4/2: And finally...admits!!!
4/2: We expect a -few- more admits this evening. There should be more admits and denies tomorrow. We're trying to get decisions out ASAP!

Wow, what a substantive response! Thanks for compiling!

Good luck to everyone else still waiting--it's nice to know it'll end soon, especially for those of us in the October-November club.

No problem. Hopefully y'all will know soon and hopefully the decision is a favorable one! Good luck

That also means I'll continue to start hyperventilating every time my phone rings and it's a number I don't recognize.
