They’re still calling!! 5/7 interview, got a feeler 15 mins ago
purpleik
14:14
soooo, has anyone gotten an A yet today?
When do you think they’re done with A’s today?
purpleik
14:28
i don't even think anyone has been formally given an A. only a few people have said that they got a feeler call
feel like i am done for
want to cry
ill be R&R so
3 feelers today between reddit and here
I got accepted
congrats!
purpleik
14:49
congrats! did you get a second call?
Any 5/10 interviewers get a call?
not that ive seen, im 5/10 interview
Welp at least theres some consolation in that
in what way
Bc it probs means they haven’t gotten around to review 5/10 and later interviews
I suppose, yeah, that makes sense
Been pretty down though aha
I guess I interpreted "recently" as including 5/10 and beyond in the email
5/9 interview here. It’s over for me, isn’t it.
Also 5/9. I haven’t seen more than 1 or 2 5/9 interviewees report on a feeler or A yet, so I think there might be a chance we might be under faculty review if they assigned by interview date. Most likely it’s over though I would say
Also kind of doubt that not seeing many people who interview 5/9 hear back yet has any bearing on future chances tbh
15:20
If you're an international student, where the time is 4:20 am right now, do you think they'll call when it's a reasonable time for me or them
Thoughts on people who interviewed during week of 5/13?
I got II 5/10

there's a chance our apps are still in faculty review
hey just letting people know I got off the waitlist in july last year. Do not get your hopes off, it's a waitlist, but it can happen later in the summer (and I wasn't the only one).
hopes up*
I'm tired sorry
