This. I told myself "just wait for the damn email. We all know it's a ding".

And yet, here I am, refreshing away.
Why are u so sure it's going to be ding? Does acceptance come as an email? I was held in Mid March and haven't heard a thing since then...
Nope totally could be an acceptance - I believe all decisions come the same way. But I wasn't held and it just seems super late in the game to be accepting candidates. Plus, seems like it's all WLs and Dings lately, but I guess we'll see!
Could definitely be a W/L or an acceptance! I was dinged and I could see my rejection letter right away.

Not sure what time I got the notification, but I also was non-stop refreshing and it took a little less than an hour for my ding letter to be uploaded. As if I hadn't been obsessively checking, I got an e-mail letting me know it was available about an hour after that. It's just good to know.

GOOD LUCK! Pulling for better news for you all!

Oh man, thanks both of y'all! It's been at least an hour, probably more already. Still nothing >.<

Fingers crossed for good news! Sounds like things may be better for you than for me or KGLaw.

Waitlist! Thanks for the good juju :) Will probably be withdrawing though; I'm pretty sold on where I'm attending. It's just nice to know!

Just WL'd. Along with (it sounds like from the language in the letter) everyone else who's still waiting for a decision but isn't getting dinged? Unsurprising because I applied relatively late, but still kind of disappointing. As a splitter with tons of professional experience, NU was a good fit for me and my best shot at T14 with money.

Thanks y'all! :D

For those of you still waiting, it says in the letter: "At this time, all initial offers of admission have been made."

Hopefully that helps someone!

Looking at last year's class on LSN, there were two people that got $165k, but everyone else got $10k, $30k or $50k. So, no, doesn't look like it. :(

Can someone help me out with the language? WL today as well...is "waitlist" different from "held" or are they the same thing?

Also--my waitlist invite did not say anything about supplemental essays, etc. Am I to assume that means those waitlisted today are not invited to add anything to their applications?

Nope. But maybe I should. Here I've been thinking they were jerking me around, but maybe they actually just lost my file...

Applied in November, interviewed in December; no movement since an update in February. Formally withdrew my application and requested a refund. Looks like they withdrew the app, probably won't get the refund... pretty ridiculous I had no decision after 5 months and after the first seat deposit. Shame because i invested the time and resources to apply, visit etc. Better luck to the rest of you all still waiting.

Would like to know about final decisions. I guess this is gonna be as long as "How I met your mother"... "How I got rejected by NU after all these seasons and the last one is the most unendurable.."

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
