Expedited Application

twoboys2 · 02-10-2012, 05:25 PM

My son applied to Brandeis with an Expedited application. originally they said he would be notified by March 1st.But when I called the Admission Office to find out if it was by mail or email, they said email by February 15th. Anyone know for sure It may sound trivial but all this waiting is killing us at it would be great to hear from at least one school sooner rather than later. Thanks

Expedited application? How did he qualify for that if you don't mind me asking?

My S also was told he had an expedited application - March 1. My D had one 2 years ago that was expedited for Feb 15th. Maybe we will find out in a few days - fingers crossed. I believe that Brandeis results come out via snail mail.

Shotstop - not sure how he got the expedited application. He did show interest with a campus interview, that could have helped.

I got my results online this year, so these decisions might get the same. I got my snail mail a few days later.

I think the expedited app is a combination of interest, test scores and perhaps it helped that I am a Brandeis alum. I think this year they are using email.

Just called Brandeis and its March 1st. Damn. It would have been so great to get some good news before vacation!

No family members of mine are alums but I got an email in December about expedited admissions decisions...
I think it's related to interest because I visited and got a fee waiver and also had an alumnus interview, after which I received the email about expedited admissions.

My S also did an expedited application with a waiver. Just as another person said, I'm under the impression that the invitation is based on a few things, including visiting the campus, academics and possibly test scores. S also did the online chats, and found them both fun and helpful. The Admissions staff seems terrific. We are hoping he is accepted!
