Was anyone on the open house? When did they say their decisions would be final? I thought end of May but I'm clearly wrong

I went to the info session and they did say they planned for end of May. Granted, it's a new program so I anticipated some extra delays. Maybe they got more applicants than they expected for a first cohort and are overwhelmed?

I just sent an email today, hoping for a more definitive timeline.

I attended the info session as well and same thing they said end of May. I think they are def overwhelmed. It's also weird timing on their end too waiting for answers cause I'm sure some applicants are going to be interviewing with Northshore on 6/12.

I was at the open house, but I don't remember them saying an official deadline. I took notes and don't have one listed there either. But I definitely could have missed it.

Oh that definitely makes it seem full! I wonder why they wouldn't just send rejections out at this point yet.

Those accepted have a meeting about the program with the director and others. Assuming they have 20 spots filled if they are doing that

I wonder if anyone did a headcount to see how many students attended the cohort meeting LOL. Regardless, looks like the FB group has 20 members in it now. Don't know why the rest of us never received a status update and a few days ago they were saying applications are still under review...

I think it's just like a hold status tbh. If anybody drops they'll prob pick from waitlist and if waitlist extinguishes then they'll pick from held candidates. But IDK. That's just what I'm going with to give myself some sort of closure on it since we aren't getting told anything and they have a full cohort LOL
