Zeus23 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Starting a thread for those applying to CIPA this application cycle, 20-21. I submitted my application 3 Sept and my last letter of recommendation trickled in on 11 Sept. I know that they accept applications on a rolling basis, I'm just wondering the speed of things with COVID? Based on past posts, I doubt anyone applied as early as I did, but has anyone heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravine55 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I spoke with the admissions representatives at a recent online event. They told me that applications could be processed in as little as two weeks or in 4-6 weeks during particularly busy periods. Seeing as you applied literally two days after the application opened (why?), you're coming up on six weeks. My guess is they want more applications to pile up and that they'll start getting back to us in November, but I might be wrong. I'm submitting mine this week and prodding my letter writers to submit their letters within the next two weeks. Hopefully you'll hear back soon!

AdAstra2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Their admissions page states that they are still accepting students for Spring 2021 and that the deadline for those applications is the end of November. I imagine they won't get to any Fall applicants sooner than that. If I were you, I would ask during the required online interview for a better idea. Here's a link to a similar thread from a few years ago, where the earliest applicant to post about their decision on the thread received their admission on February 15th. Many had to wait well into March. I bet you will be one of the first to hear back, but as @Ravine55stated, they'll probably only start looking at Fall applicants around November. Props to you for applying so early. Assuming my LORs don't take longer than expected, I'm planning to have everything completed within two-three weeks. Definitely give us any updates if you can!

limabeans08 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Also just finished submitting my applications this past week... am curious how long it would take for them to get back to applicants this cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus23 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Jennifer from admissions told me, for those that applied early, they hope to have decisions out by Dec 1. Ravine55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus23 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 I checked in with them last week and it changed to hoping to have them out this week, instead of 1 Dec. Just for your expectation management.. limabeans08 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlainSight Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 @Zeus23 @limabeans08 If you don't mind me asking, did either of you hear back? I was under the impression I would hear back in the first cycle but the expected date has come and gone so I'm a little lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus23 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Still nothing and im not too happy about it. I feel that their communication has been pretty bad. I applied in Sept, their website says 4-6 weeks- its been 3 months. I got it, covid and all. But they should have told us more. I have been reachng out to try to find out. I was first told 1 Dec, then told week of 1 Dec. I wrote yesterday, since 10 days over and now its just "soon" PlainSight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limabeans08 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Also haven't heard back. I emailed them a couple days ago and they said maybe before the holidays... but who knows. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravine55 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I received a message from them this morning with a supplemental application for funding. This might be a good sign that decisions are coming soon. Did anyone else get that email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limabeans08 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 same but not too hopeful at this point that we'll be hearing back before January. Ravine55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian333 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hi! Just wanted to say I heard from Jennifer a week or so ago, and she said that they were not done with the spring 2021 applications yet, so there may be a delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus23 Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 When I saw the financial form- I kinda gave up a little inside. Like "oh lawd, we are just on this step?!" They made it sound like a decision was imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
