Fall 2015 SAIS Early Notification

[InternationalHopeful]

I know the notification date is December 30th, but I can't help but believe that decisions must be ready a few days earlier. 

 

I'm hoping it makes sense for the admissions decisions to come out early, rather than later. Until then, I'm going to check every day.

 

I'm sure that I'm not alone here.

[ReinventOneself]

I'm also waiting on this one...

[aidyinamman]

Where can we check our status? The same website where we submitted our applications?

[Akueldo]

Man, I hope they do come out early. Dec 30 is a terrible day to get a notification. Does anyone have an idea of how we are likely to be notified?

From past years, it looks like you get an email asking you to login to the Apply Yourself application portal. Somewhere on the application page there has been a letter discussing acceptance/rejection.

 

It also looks like that first email goes into a lot of people's spam folders.

The admission office said in a previous email that they will be leaving from December 23 to January 5. How can it be possible for the result to be released on Dec 30?

Anybody hear from SAIS yet? 

[ReinventOneself]

Anybody hear from SAIS yet? 

 

Nope! Nothing yet. Still waiting...

[Akueldo]

Is this the first year that SAIS has offered early notification? Re: that email saying admissions was gone until the 5th, I wonder if they've just said what they always say, and had a lil brain fart.

Otherwise I don't see how we could hear back by the 30th...

From the SAIS Admissions webiste:

 

Please note: Due to the volume of application processing, the SAIS DC Admissions Office will be closed to visitors beginning December 22 through January 9. We will, however, answer inquiries via email atsais.dc.admissions@jhu.edu and by phone at 202.663.5700.

 

So it seems that Admissions isn't actually gone, as they will be taking phone calls. The office is just closed to visitors. I'm assuming they have today and tomorrow off. Hopefully we'll hear back on the 27th, maybe the 28th??

[Akueldo]

Oh great point. Let's hope so!

[ejrichar]

Decisions are listed on your application page now!

Decisions are listed on your application page now!

 

 

Where? There doesn't seem to be anything different on my page? Am I the only one with no decision yet? 

[Akueldo]

Where exactly? I don't see anything either.

[IRStudent12]

I also don't see anything. But I'd assume we'll find out today!

[aidyinamman]

I don't see anything either. Glad I'm not the only one.

Mine was right beneath the recommendation providers as: DECISION STATUS AVAILABLE 12/30/2014. There was a link to follow to view my admission letter.

[aidyinamman]

Maybe they're posting them in batches? This is so nerve-wracking.

[Akueldo]

Yea it really is. Ugh

[ReinventOneself]

Nothing for me, either. They've got less than 12 hours to make their promised Dec. 30th deadline, so let's see if it comes through today!

Would you be willing to share more info? Like what campus you applied for, etc? I'm banking on the batches thing too, and I'm dying.

I just checked my application online and have not received any messages! I am freaking out..... glad i am not alone

[ejrichar]

I was open to either campus but the acceptance came from Bologna which is probably why not everyone has received a notification.

[Akueldo]

Ooo. Maybe you got accepted on Bologna time too. Well that's something

[Akueldo]

I spoke with Admissions on the phone - they said they are still committed to releasing all Early decisions today.
