New School (Sociology): "decision in two weeks" (response to my e-mail)

I just got an e-mail today saying that application packets are in the mail and I was accepted. Check your e-mail and see if they sent something to you! I guess something happened with the packets because they were sent out the second week of March and they found out people were not getting them. I hope I get mine tomorrow! I also hope you got in!

abcd:

UIC had my friend's and my application listed as "decision deferred: manual review required" until they made their decision (both of us were accepted). I think that it means that the graduate college is deffering the decision to the department, but I don't know for sure. Good luck everyone. I'm too paranoid to post my profile until I know from all of my schools.
