pmcclory Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hey all, I was wondering if many people had applied to, and if so heard from some of the big schools in the greater mid-atlantic area: Penn, UMD, JHU, Brown, Pitt ... Feel like I'm a toss up to slight reach at most of them (but what do I know). Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belowthree Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Applied to JHU, haven't heard from them except on 4 Feb when they inquired about a late rec. (Which thankfully has now finally been finished and submitted to the appropriate schools.) I would guess this means they're now shifting or have shifted into full scale file review. History on the results page indicates they usually start sending out information the first half of march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heheman3000 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm an undergrad at Penn. I don't think you have anything to worry about yet...a couple of professors have trickled out acceptances but the whole mass is still moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmcclory Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 as for maryland: We are in the process of reviewing applications now and hope to have decisions out this week and next. Found out because they emailed me saying they never got my scores (definitely forwarded them months ago, ETS messed up) asking me to scan in a copy of them (at least they didn't throw away my application!). So will hopefully be hearing from them pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ni1v1a Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 as for maryland: We are in the process of reviewing applications now and hope to have decisions out this week and next. Did they directly tell you this or you only found out it since they wanted your test scores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmcclory Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I asked when I sent back my score report. what difference does it make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ni1v1a Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Due to the result of last year which can be seen in result search, they didn't release the result for some applicants even at april. Thus I thought there is not a certain period for sending notifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmcclory Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 sounds like i might be out of the running for penn then. bummer. haven't gotten one of the rejections that have been popping up over the past few days (status still says "under review"), but it's probably forthcoming. in happier news, just got an email saying that maryland's visit day is March 27th.

I'm curious, where are you seeing the "under review" status? It just tells me that my app is submitted, as far as I can tell. I wish they'd just tell us if we weren't getting in, honestly.

When you say your status shows "under review", which webpage are you referring to? Is there a status check page for UPenn that I'm not aware of?

Shows 'under review' in application status portion. also includes status of all other documents and recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo7aisen Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Applied to UMD and UVa. I heard from UMD but nothing from UVa. Though, I will not go to any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine shows "Completed," which I'm pretty sure is the same status it's had since I submitted it. No idea what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraduateSchoolNut Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I would call. Mine said under review after I submitted. Actually, they don't answer their phone. Email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbupz Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I just did that, but judging from the fact that their visiting weekend has happened already, I'm pretty sure I know what the answer is going to be. Oh, as I was typing this got an automated email from the graduate coordinator saying he'll be out for the next 3 days and will respond when he returns. Guess I'll have to wait a little longer.
