Expand Yeah, if anything, I'm even more confused about what's going on now, especially since some people who applied in January and February have already heard back. My guess is they're saying 8-10 weeks just to cover their bases, but it's still very disheartening especially since I'm supposed to let other schools know of my decision by early to mid-April (and I already got an extension from one of them).

Expand Yeah. Thankfully I got an extension from Penn and NYU actually gave me until the 20th so hopefully they make good on their promise and I hear back this week??

Expand Quick question: When did Penn give you an extension until? I am going to email them today about an extension, but wasn't sure if they gave them/how far out to ask.. FYI- Also, waiting to hear back from Columbia. Applied 12/1 for traditional two year program, clinical, school-based and school linked services. Edited March 12, 2018 by MSWF2018

Expand They seem to be emailing people that their status has changed between 5-6pm est. So I guess like everywhere else once you go on there you'll get your letter of acceptance (or rejection). doctormelody and OliviaRose 2

Okay, I just called, and the guy looked me up, and he said that it usually takes 8-10 weeks for a decision to come out... meaning I should expect to hear back the third week of April. I was not expecting that at all, but I guess that means that other people who applied on or around the 15th should expect to hear back then too? Wow. I really hope he was just erring on the side of caution... Expand Interesting. So I guess the people who applied since November/December should hear back this week since 8-10 weeks was near the end of February...lol

Sunset95 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Sooooo nothing today. Although I probably won't hear from them until the 15th because that's the day I told them.

Expand Insert soothing noises and a nice cup of tea/coffee. You got this! Send out positive vibes into the world. The wheels are in motion; don’t add anxiety to it!
