if you dont mind me asking, what kind of clarifying questions did they ask

142

Just a few questions about my educational history and my current grades for courses in progress. I have a transfer application.

143

Nice - do they ask for ā€œproofā€ and current grade reports or just ask for a casual response? i wanted to know so that I can prepare screenshots for them just in case

144

They didnā€™t ask for any updated transcripts or anything like that. I just shared casually. Try not to stress too hard about it. Good luck!

you too!

146

I got the clarifying questions email too

147

for those who applied regular decision (by Nov 1) can you tell us when you get your decision ? I have a feeling itā€™ll be this week but Iā€™m
just not sure. Also super scared about getting denied and want to get in so badly. i have all the stats essentially but you never know - i am
preparing for the best and worst simultaneously and the anticipation is insane

148

I applied Early Action , still waiting now. Based on previous experience, it seems that the admissions office sends out clarifying question emails very close to the results date. Iā€™m also hoping to get my results this week

149

Also - iā€™ve been seeing this trend where people will be able to log in successfully to the financial aid portal, and then ultimately get accepted. Is this a back door signal of acceptance prior to the actual notification? I donā€™t know what to think, iā€™ve seen posts where people were able to log in, but then got rejected. I logged in this morning but i donā€™t know what it means

150

I tried and I can log in the portal too. At least itā€™s not a pessimistic sign.

151

Hi
I applied on Nov 1st and still waiting
I heard the decision would be released by mid December for the regular decision batch, Anyone heard of it?
Iā€™ll update when I get my result

152

I thought that would be the case too, however I also applied regular decision and I called and they said ā€œThanksgiving to beginning Decemberā€ so maybe earlier ?

153

Thank you for sharing
Itā€™s literally killing me :frowning:

154

There was an update on my application portal but no email yet btw. I was admitted, and I applied early action. Hang in there folks.

I applied normal decision Nov 1 and got my acceptance last night. Does anybody know when financial aid letters come? I am waiting for that to see how much aid they give so I can weigh my options. Goodluck everyone!
