I got an email from BU once my application was complete saying that I would be notified of my decision by the end of February. 

I was notified the same way/same info- by end of Feb ?

did you apply for Dec or Jan 10 deadline? I'll probably just give them a call to double check they have everything

I got invited to interview with UPenn!!! Does this mean I kinda got in lol?

Did you call them to schedule? Ive heard that you get an interview as long as you meet their basic requirements, so I guess we have a chance? Mine is scheduled in late February, and Im already so nervous lol

Just heard from BU, they said guaranteed by the end of February but typically they are able to send them out closer to the middle of February! Only a few more weeks then ?

Blargh it just says complete. What does yours say? 

[ZoeD]

I am crossing my fingers and toes that I hear back from CU today (I was told that my app was in final stages of review and that I would hear back soon on Monday, and saw that others heard yesterday), but I'm on the west coast and need to stay focused at work until 5 PM aka 8 EST...AH to check or not to check at 5 EST?!!

Penn told me that it may take 10 days for them to send out an email regarding interview because of the wave of applicants on the due date.

Twiddling my thumbs knowing nothing is coming at 5 but still looking at the clock intensely while at work.

When will I hear from CU ??

Same here—the grad loans are the same ones we can be approved for at any school though correct? They just chose to include it in their aid package where some schools only initially tell you scholarship amounts? 
 

Unfortunately their scholarship was lower than what I’ve been offered at Penn so no bargaining chip for me ?

Yes- those loans are universal across grad school. And in my case, if I am going to utilize them, might as well go to my dream school! Yes, other schools typically offer a scholarship amount separately from loans.

Awe. Was Penn Generous, I haven't seen many post about their scholarships amount. Also, I kind of went into the mindset that I wouldn't get any scholarship funding for grad school, so anything offered is great!

I know- I'm dying. Nothing today it looks like...

Anyone hear from CU today?

Has anyone spoken with Berkeley regarding when admissions decisions will be released?  Their website says Mar 15, and that’s after the response deadline for other schools. 

Also has anyone heard from Cal State schools?

I talked to Berkeley a few weeks ago and they said they would be released by February 22nd or so.

Thanks so much for replying!  I’m happy to hear they’ll begin releasing decisions before Mar!

I would suggest calling them and asking too! They are really nice on the phone and the date may vary depending on when you applied. I applied late November.
