I e-mailed earlier today but didn’t hear back. From my understanding some rejections have gone out and some acceptances have gone out via email OR phone call. Seems like there is no rhyme or reason to their methods. Someone did mention that they have been known to call over the weekend, so FINGERS CROSSED for everyone waiting to hear ??

beefboy Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 has anyone heard from american yet? i’ve seen one or two in the results so far but... trying to distract myself from other schools with an active task for this one
Ydrl Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Anyone in the silent U Florida boat? I'm just waiting for it. I just need confirmation that all I need to worry about is Maryland and potentially next year's plans.

I know they interviewed people at the end of February so I guess that means that at this point they'll just be sending out rejections, right? I don't know how I didn't see this post earlier, but I'm still in "No Decision" hell. I already know I'm getting rejected, my third recommender never came through with his letter. Also I'm not exactly enthused about Rutgers-Newark because no matter what I emailed them about, I got zero responses. Rutgers and Syracuse are on my shit list tbh. helterskelter 1

Rutgers Newark has really bad communication. An alum on Draft said this is an ongoing issue even once you're enrolled. Think it's because it's a state school that struggles with funding to have proper admin support. That's definitely a red flag to me, even if the program/faculty themselves aren't to blame. Ydrl 1

That's definitely a red flag to me, even if the program/faculty themselves aren't to blame. My BA came from a state school with horrible communication. One good thing that came out of that was a weird loophole where I didn't have to take any Gen Eds that I didn't take in Community College. They also had a clause that said it was up to the wonderful English department chair to determine how many credits I could transfer. Huehuehue, 82.

And draft is admin adding only. They're quite swamped with requests, especially with the pandemic. I wouldn't be surprised if it took two three weeks to get in. I'm not a fan of draft, or facebook for that matter, so I only know what others tell me.

Do you know what it means for schools to contact and admit some before others? Or should I not look into it too much? Edited March 20, 2021 by SMSM1229

Yeah, they didn't respond to my email either which was slightly discouraging but since I'm expecting a rejection anyway I wasn't too bothered about that. I saw some people saying last year they weren't even notified they were on waitlists? Not sure how that's possible but given their track record seems plausible.
