Hey, I applied to schools in October and I'm still waiting on three decisions. Deal with it.

Because you applied to UC-Davis, I'm guessing.

Because we want schools to be somewhat holistic. A computer could give you a decision very quickly, but you might not be thrilled with it.

The OP is understandably anxious. This is rougher than waiting for your LSAT score. Give her a break.

+1.

Why does everyone have to be so rude? At this point everyone is frustrated and I think some venting should be allowed.

We're being rude? Let's review OP's langauge, beginning with the thread title.

I agree, no need to be mean. Venting and ranting should be welcomed at this stage in the game. Think and stay positive - you will get in to the right school for you. Maybe you've been in review for so long because they can't decide how big your scholarship should be!!! =)

Her initial cursing was part of a rant that was not directed at anyone in particular, and especially not directed at you. So yes, you were rude. The "aholes" was in response to your rudeness, and well deserved.

OK Pollyanna... :wink:

Sorry, this Disney movie optimism always cracks me up... :mrgreen:

I prefer to stick with the dark, twisted, realistic approach :twisted:

Woah yeah definitely chill out. How are people freaking out over this when the undergraduate admissions review process was like at least 4 months? This process takes patience. Even with the purported "rolling admissions" system. Even for your safeties. Yes, some people have enjoyed an insanely quick turnaround time but how entitled do you have to feel to freak out over a 2-month waiting period?

That being said, when in doubt, send the school a LOCI in the words of Lil' Wayne: "And I'm seeing what you need and I'm thinkin it's me."

Here's my theory:

They do batches at a time. If you are not one of the accepted in your batch, but might be too good for a waitlist, they'll put you in the next batch, and so on and so on

I am frustrated also, waiting for my #1 choice when I have already been accepted to schools with higher gpa/lsat medians...I want to pull my hair out.

You've got quite the skewed view of this thread it appears.
