@Kelevra: have you heard anything back since you were WL today?
How long is it taking to hear back from pending decision to decision?
9:10
@chase: got an A yesterday! I'm feeling very happy after a lot of waiting. I would say getting a WL or an "on hold" letter from Vermont is still a good sign!! I submitted my application in the beginning of February.
9:11
@AK907: I was about to send a letter requesting an interview but mostly waiting since I felt I had nothing new to update the admissions committee.
