Application update email from Fletcher

[ayir]

Hi, I received an email today from Fletcher (I much appreciate this gesture). The staff mentioned reviewing my application (used "enjoyed reading" - and I start over analyzing) and that the decision will be out in March. The email was personalised and mentioned my work experience. Did anyone else receive it? What does it mean?

I did not get it from Tufts (sadly, this is my dream school), but did receive similar emails from Korbel and Georgetown. I'm of the belief that any non-negative news is good news, so, take it as a good sign!

All it means is that they've reviewed your application and that the decision will be out in March. There's really nothing more to read into.

Also got that email from Fletcher, with the same phrasing of "enjoyed reading about" my work experience. Same feelings as you -- appreciate the gesture, would love to read into it as a good sign, but know that it's almost certainly just a nice gesture that was sent in identical fashion to every applicant, meant to placate us and calm our nerves rather than imply good news. Womp.

Same for me about Korbel. I haven't heard not one word from Tufts yet though.

I guess it is just a good gesture mail. Now that my excitement has died down, let me just get back to the waiting game.

The two days before the January deadline. This school was a huge longshot for me, so I'm thinking they sent those emails to those who had applications more worthy than just being thrown in the trash.

Hey ZebraFinch.. i'm sure it isn't that... they probably are sending out those emails in batches as they review the applications and yours is yet to be reviewed.. stay strong..

I submitted my application on Jan 7. I'm going for the MALD program though.

Even I applied to the MALD program at Fletcher...

I got a similar email. I'm not sure how much to read into it other than simply acknowledging that it's a nice gesture. Better than a "Dear Applicant, here are some events on campus that you will probably not go to"

Yupp true that. It is indeed a very kind gesture on the part of the Adcom to reach out to applicants and offer their help in case of any queries.

Uhh, I hate that.

I applied to Tufts MALD and did not get such email   Was the email a personalized one? 

 

I had low GRE score (mid 150) but thought I may still be a solid candidate given my int'l development work experience.
