It appears that decisions trickled in over a span of several weeks last year...another applicant received his decision during the last week of April in 2010! For those that are seriously considering other programs requiring decisions by 4/15/11, I suggest you call admissions to reiterate your dilemma and also ask to speak with the Admissions Coordinator or Director of Admissions to discuss your situation. If they are unable to connect you (I'm sure they are inundated) request them to kindly forward yoru message - I'm sure this will encourage them to send out decisions sooner than later. I also suggest that all of us call next week again for updates to encourage them and also post updates on here! Thanks and enjoy your weekend!

I guess I was one of the last to call before they closed for the day ....and weekend (the staff must be elated not to hear from us MC/MPAs over the weekend - ha!) When I spoke with them earlier this week they were indeed definitive about sending out decisions by today. In fact, they specifically stated "on Friday April 1st" She apologized for the inaccurate information they gave out earlier this week and said to expect decisions "by April 30th". Since they have been less than accurate about the decision date my take would be to expect it later than sooner and if it comes early so be it. I also found out that last year they sent out decisions as late as April 22nd!! (as late as 3 -4pm PST!) Although they had a lot more time to review apps this year. Enjoy your weekend and good luck to all! PS After all is said and done it would be beneficial to provide candid feedback to Admissions to improve the process and communication :-) any volunteers?

I just called Admissions and they said decisions for the MC/MPA will be out on Friday April 1st! (should I be skeptical of that date! ha!) I hope Alyson's info is more accurate!...and the wait continues....lets hope for news before the weekend...fingers crossed!
