Just wanted to start a thread for the students applying to this time frame! Deadline's around the corner. ?

Anything else he mentioned about it?? Like reasons for delay etc? San Mateo not too much later after Oakland, and Oakland heard a while ago now.

He said there is a delay for every applicant pool, that it's normal for responses to be released later than applicants have been told they will hear... He said the admissions team made their decisions/recommendations but then the faculty has to review and approve the applicants also... He said that this is why he never tells people a concrete timeline that they will be told. (However, I have two emails from him in which he told me that I'd have an answer by or before the end of March and it sounds as though he told someone on 4/2 that we'd hear in 3-5 business days.)

Thanks for filling us in! Yea, they could easily say you'll know by end of April, or mid-May, etc. Yeah, those are specific timelines (the emails) for sure, but oh well at least we know that the decisions are made but waiting on approval. Guess we're sitting tight for a bit. I think it slows down the process especially for those who end up on the waitlist, who then have to wait longer to know if they'll actually get accepted or not... but all we can do is prepare for the next round.
