cs_mpp Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Yeskay, I do think it is worth the wait. Very few people (at least in this forum) have got calls and that too without much details. Also, the interviews are going on. Some had interviews around the first week of February while I got only a day or so notice before my interview in the first week of march.
Kaleem Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Yeskay, today I emailed them they replied interview will continue till end of April and interviews are in batches this time so fingers crossed for good news☺
Maawarinu Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 So Kaleem, does that mean both interview and admission offer release are going on at the same time then?
namir Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I think the information from them seem to be confusing. In my opinion they are just still reviewing the applications and both, interview and admission phase are still ongoing. Maybe they have days to decide who will be interviewed and then days with the admission decision. But on the other side, I can't imagine that they could afford to take to much time for both decisions since people have applied on many universities and they also have to decide where to go. Furthermore they need to inform successful people about their funding. But this requires, that they are almost done with the admission. Anyway, there is a lot of speculation and assuming. I hope, we all get clear information soon.
Mark31 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I wonder if they must be having priority candidates and those best individuals are in the first batch - already received admission. The rest (second lot) maybe getting calls through April, only IF the priority candidates refuse their offers? Mark31 1
namir Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I can't imagine that they are admitted already 60-80 persons and let the others wait until they may accept or not. For this procedure, it would be necessary for the people to know if and how much funding they will receive. And since this has not been published yet, I think, they just admit a few people every week and wait for their response.
Mark31 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Let's hope that is the case then Namir. I think there's no use speculating...If offers come they come, if they don't they don't. Mark31 1
Mark31 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Have any of the successful applicants received any official letter yet or info on financial aid? Mark31 1
Maawarinu Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 #Mark31, do you have any information if admission offer is finished?
Mark31 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I wish I had more information to share with you Maawarinu Have you tried writing to them? Mark31 1
cs_mpp Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 No official letter yet or scholarship detail. Just a general mail notifying admission.
cs_mpp Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I have a feeling most people who have applied for LKY are not in this forum . But the process of admission could definitely be more fast and less mysterious!
applicant205 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 agreed ^ Its kind of ridiculous how their statements change all the time.
namir Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I also agree! I don't understand why they provide different information via email and even for you who received admission offer already, it is not yet clear if you receive funding and so on. And I also don't understand why they sent you the notification and then an official admission again? Why not at the same time? Well, let's see...
Mark31 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I'm sure its nice to receive early notification and know that you have been accepted. I agree it could be faster css_mpp but they were good enough to give you early notification. It's only going to be frustrating and ridiculous if we are unsuccessful
cs_mpp Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Mark, early or late notification just about admission is not good enough mate until one knows the full details of the offer. Particularly for lower income families like my own as higher education is so expensive. That is the case with everyone, I think. Both my first priority programs (LKY and Berkeley MDP) have kept me in hanging for not so long but frustrating period of time regarding scholarship details.But lets all hope for the best!
namir Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 @cs_mpp: I can understand that so much and even for me, I would require some funding to make the little dream possible. I guess, that is the reason why they sent you an early notification, so that you know "at least" that you are successful. But as you said, it is more or less useless unless you do not know if you are getting funding or not. But hey, maybe they are just super busy and admission is difficult this year.

But as you said, it is more or less useless unless you do not know if you are getting funding or not. But hey, maybe they are just super busy and admission is difficult this year. Let's just hope so..I got a response from the admissions dept (Mr. Low) - written that interviews are going to continue till the end of April and accepts would be given in batches. Have asked him about the scholarships, no response yet..super busy I guess. Or simple pissed with so many people asking questions
Mark31 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Youre right css_mpp! Full information is essential to make a decision especially when it is about funding. Thanks for writing Scooby...doo let us all know when you hear back from them Mark31 1
namir Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I got that email too, so maybe it is already the standard reply. But maybe Friday is the release of the next round of admissions, so let's see...
Rudolph Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Good day, I'm so sorry for the late response. I received the admission offer on the 20th of March( gladly it was also my birthday). I'm now waiting for the financial aid information. Btw I applied for MPA. Best of luck to those who are yet to receive their admission offers.
namir Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Hi Rudolph, congrats to you also! Thanks for that information, so we know that they are releasing admissions for all programs.
