@Yijing Wang thanks for sharing the information

 

[catchemall]

If we are speculating here, I wager we are going to hear from them today.

 

[cooldude]

I think they have more important stuff to do on Monday. Don't expect to hear before Friday :p

 

[catchemall]

Thursday onwards, it's the Thanksgiving weekend. Might come before that.

@cooldude you were right m8. They've started rolling out offers!
Now I'm sure I'm gonna get a HOLD!

 

[cooldude]

yes most of us are gonna get HOLD or waitlist...most probably they have rolled out all the offers

 

[Qijun]

@Aniruddha Dutta Hello, did you get an offer email or did you see an admission recommendation letter which asks you to accept or decline the offer on the application page? I saw the latter one, and when I called in the staff told me that, after I accept, the official admission letter will be sent out later this week or early next week, due to Thanksgiving.

By the way, I also have a conditions checklist that requires I take several courses, do you guys get that too?

Thanks!

@Takei congrats man!! when did you get your result?

@Takei congrats man!! when did you get your result?

@cooldude Last Friday I logged in to the application page and found that the box saying "Your application is submitted, you will be considered for Round 5 (I actually submitted my application after the DDL for Round 4 but this year they have extended the final DDL to Nov 9, don't know why)" disappeared, and I have a condition checklist saying that the committee requires me to take several prerequisite courses. I thought I was put to hold, but this morning I found an update to my application which turned out to be an admission recommendation letter, and I accepted it. I called in and was told that the official admission letter should be sent within several days.

Congrats to @Takei and @Aniruddha Dutta!
Just got my letter this morning... So I assume HOLD means reject? There are several courses I have already taken but still on the condition list. Weird...

Did you get an email or it's just stated on the website?

@Takei congrats ! Would you mind telling a bit about your background？ It may be helpful for us to guess the possibility of admission. Really appreciate it.
