I'm still waiting on so many schools, is there any chance they would give you an extension on putting down a deposit?

No. I emailed them that question asking for a week, so I could go visit another school, and they said their deposit deadlines are rigid so that they can be fair to students on the waitlist hoping to get in.

Successfully negotiated USC to match Notre Dame's 75K scholarship. Original scholarship from USC was 60K. Also, I'm from SoCal.

Just wanted to give some hope to all those trying to negotiate.

Newbie here. Am sitting at complete since late January.

I was wondering if anyone has visited the campus while your status is still complete or under review (or have been waitlisted)? I am planning to visit in a couple of weeks to do a tour, sit in on a class, and maybe meet with an admissions officer and am wondering what to expect. Any advice? Thanks!

It's very relaxed. They don't do interviews as part of the admissions process, so you don't have to put up a front or anything. They'll escort you to your class, and you just come back to the admissions office when you're done. Feel free to talk to the professor before or after, their classes are selected for a reason. Then when you get back you do the tour with a student ambassador. The ambassadors are very friendly and knowledgeable in my experience, and ask as many questions as you want.

Tl;dr not much advice to give, just ask questions and enjoy your visit. Hopefully you like it as much as I did.

With the amount of time I've spent worrying/procrastinating over the this app, I'm surprised I haven't lost my job yet. Oh well, here's to cold winters

Same, the site says that it's neither a good or bad sign to have a second review.

I was going to ask what the usual turnaround time was once you hit final review.
