…**Nov. 14, ACCEPTED - UCLA took six days to respond with a decision which is absolutely absurd, especially considering that applicants are still waiting for an answer in early April. I don’t know what they liked in my application, but I **Arizona State Univ.: **Nov. 16, ACCEPTED - ASU was a backup for me, but I was…

Admitted to Vanderbilt University…waitlist movement before you’ve even heard their initial decision on your file. Ignore it. Checking this site every day will not make decisions come any faster. Don’t compare your results with your stats twins who applied early in the cycle. They did better. You’ve just got to accept the choices you have. You’ve…
CONCLUDED 4/27/2023. BEST WISHES TO ALL WHO COME AFTER. Gonna do this by first giving some opening info, then making a list by date of admissions decision, and finish by giving a summary and final remarks. Read it all, skip to the end for my folk wisdom, or just look at my app chart; it’s all up to you. Intro I…
