Looks like someone else got in too

I went to the admitted students program at ASU in Dec. It seemed like a really cool place
19:09
Yo I went there too. It was sick.
19:55
No call for me yet, maybe they only call the As
InstinctiveCaringUrchin
20:57
Same here. Nothing yet
9:38
Who's ready for another day of disappointment????
InstinctiveCaringUrchin
10:23
Woooo. So excited to get spam calls from a Utah area code
I'm assuming we're not going to hear anything until at least Friday again, but who knows? Maybe they'll start releasing a few every day or every few days.
11:47
Either someone is doing it retroactively or they got waitlisted today
Yep two now. Looks like they might be doing a wave of WL today.
InstinctiveCaringUrchin
13:02
Both had 3.0gpas
13:08
I'm hoping my addendum and second program helps me pull through
InstinctiveCaringUrchin
13:15
Your softs will. Way higher than what most people were doing in college
13:58
Now I’m not so sure if I’ll get admitted. I guess we’ll find out
InstinctiveCaringUrchin
14:22
@QuirkyBison: your GPA is way above median. So they'll need people like you to offset LSAT's if they want to maintain their medians
Welp the way its looking I'm hoping we don't hear anything today.
15:18
At this point hearing anything would be a blessing for me.

"We're all in this together" -high school music style
16:40
Fitting, seeing that East High is in SLC
InstinctiveCaringUrchin
16:56
Good point. Fun fact, Sharpay's pink locker is still there at the school
17:34
Some As today too.. maybe not all is lost
InstinctiveCaringUrchin
17:40
Nah. I've been UR for months at this point. I'm starting to think UofU doesn't exist. It's like Narnia
17:42
Valid. I wonder if you could email the admissions team and see what’s up?
InstinctiveCaringUrchin
17:43
I would, if not for the fear of "shut up, we have 900000 more applicants this year."
17:45
I mean, can’t hurt to try I guess? UR for
17:45
UR for months is kind of ridiculous imo
InstinctiveCaringUrchin
17:47
If I don't hear back by the end of the week I think I'll reach out. The crazy thing is I've only heard back from 1/8 schools. LSAT above all 75th percentiles, GPA above most. It just looks like EVERYTHING is painfully slow this year
17:49
Which is weird. The other 2 schools I applied to got back to me in a very reasonable amount of time. I’m sorry you’ve had that luck
InstinctiveCaringUrchin
17:55
Thanks, but that's life sometimes. It'll turn around here soon. Hopefully more As today
