My status just changed!! Hoping it comes this week! Congrats again :))
17:23
I think my status was something to the order of "In Review" for a few weeks leading up to today
17:24
2.5 weeks or so?
I had "Application Complete - Decision in 3-4 weeks" for a month exactly and today it changed to "Application in Review". Does anyone know what this could mean?
Damn missed this wave:(
Had the same thing as kale
11:12
@nervousoverthinking: congrats on the A!
Thank you @sidewaysgoat
any specific days of the week that depaul typically releases decisions?
14:27
Based on the LSD data it looks like a majority of the decisions come out on Mondays and Tuesdays and then some trickle through at the end of the week. I got my decision on a Tuesday.
anyone know when depaul releases decisions from folks on the wait list?
@GoofyHocRaccoon: when I went to their open house they said they keep people on the waitlist well into the summer right before school starts....no hard dates. Their "deadline" is April 1st but still accept applicants after that
i applied early january, and got a response 1/17

I applied to the PT evening program on 1/11 and got accepted Tuesday 1/23. I'm assuming the process will take longer for FT applications since there are more seats to fill

if you have a yahoo email they said they've been having issues with that.
just saw one person get in off the waitlist
I got confirmation and then an A a week later. They move quick compared to everyone else!
