I was accepted for September online and used references and citations in my personal statement. Nothing major, just 2 or 3 to back up my thoughts with cited stats.
Good luck with your application!
I have yet to hear anything either. I was told that all applicants can expect to hear on Monday at the latest. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the way they're informing people as some on here have been rejected, some were accepted, and others have been put on a waitlist.
The waiting is difficult and I'm still hopeful but it's hard not to think the worst.
