I wonder if this is because of FAFSA being delayed

Oh, I guess they can! My son applied to Comedic Arts and it sounds like it’s all or nothing.

My kid was really interested in that one but chose not to because of that reason. Good luck to your kiddo!

Thanks, you too!

I’m wondering about this, too. It just seems so weird to change decision dates long after applications were due (and well into the audition process for performing arts majors).

But of course, over the weekend I started thinking of other reasons things could be going slowly. Maybe some of their admissions staff has been out (or they’re in some other way understaffed right now)? Maybe they had technological glitches that slowed things down? It helps me to think of reasons other than “they have a ton more applicants than expected so fewer people are going to be admitted.”

I like the way you think! Let’s hope so.

It’s also annoying because now he’s going to have to go ahead and submit his other applications, in case he doesn’t get in. “Early January” is too close to the deadlines to risk it.

yes, this is the same position we are in. And, my kid was planning to do ED2 somewhere else, but the deadline is 1/1. So how does it work to apply ED2, which is also binding, when the ED1 is still pending? Yikes.

I think that’s a good question for the live chat folks! Maybe they have some insight?

My friend called admissions for her son and they told her “soon”.

Hmmmm.

Why not be more transparent? So hard to be waiting with other deadlines looming.

36

I think that’s frustrating, too. They are asking for complete commitment from us and our students but aren’t being transparent about missing their own deadline.

Anything??

Nope. I saw an unsubstantiated rumor on Reddit that some people have heard, but nothing official. No idea.

Oh wow I just checked the portal and it’s being released today by region after 1 PM. Good luck everyone!!
