I think that’s still to be decided. It is required that we “be present during the full week of orientation” though.

*Edit: They sent a new email just now regarding next steps. Check your mailbox!

Wait - this wasn't mentioned anywhere that I saw. Did it say anything about if we are unavailable? I may not even be in the country at that point...

I wish they would at least send the absolute rejections if they haven't. Personally I have schools that say that they can extend their deadline, but I will lose all funding if I don't commit by April 15 or April 30 and I imagine that others are in similar positions. I totally understand that they are backed up with applications, I suppose it's just a mess all around this year, haha.

I emailed to them early last week, so you might get similar response back in soon. I totally understand how you are feeling right now, since I would have felt the same if I didn’t get the respond while couple of others received a response. That’s why I also wanted to share for those who haven’t got the response back. We’re all in the same boat. Let’s not lose hope and wait.

Thank you and everyone else! Crossing my fingers that it's just a fluke haha. Best of luck to all of you!

This made my day. LOL

I don't really understand what's so funny? I emailed the university asking about admissions timelines as well, so why would it be weird that I'm concerned that I didn't get a similar response?

Why lol?

I just think it's odd that some people would get that email and some wouldn't!

That's weird - I didn't get this. Think it's a problem?

This is what I have received today:

Thanks for checking in about the status of your application. We understand that applicants can be anxious to hear news about their admissions status as it is often a catalyst to further planning which is often time-sensitive.

Due to the volume of applications and our team working fully remote this year we anticipate a small delay in decisions. As a reminder, our holistic review process entails a two reviewer system and consideration for scholarship. All applications are reviewed before decisions are made. We are hard at work processing and reviewing all applications and anticipate decisions being reached in late March or early April.

We hope this information was helpful. Feel free to monitor your application portal for updates.

Anyone know if it's acceptable to ask them when admissions come out, and if so who to contact? I received an offer from another university, but I need to accept by April 15.
