eise Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 For someone who has never applied to an American school, when is the latest I should expect to hear something bad or good? Should I assume if I have not been invited for an interview yet that I have been rejected or do they sometimes take this long to review files? I guess I am just wondering if for American schools, no news is good news or bad news.....Thanks. *hayley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its definitely a good idea of starting to think of plan B. Most schools are arranging for March interviews this month already (some schools like NYU and non-rollings have stopped interviewing)...but I say a month and a bit remaining (month of march for april interviews). Definitely send in your update letters if you havent done so already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madz25 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I second what sony said...although US schools do conduct interviews until April, if you haven't heard anything yet then chances are slim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eise Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 umm...this is probably a really stupid question but please excuse a newbie american applicant: update letters? Also, if the school has a status page that says I am still being reviewed, can I call and ask them my current status or is that not standard practice? Thanks for your help! p.s. these schools are my Plan B (although way too good for me to get into) so I'm not holding my breath.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eg, your fall marks, volunteer experiences. You can also include your continued interest of going to that school. Some ppl even send another LOR. All this is done to get yourself to the top of the "potential interview" pile. I would definitely call and check up on your applications. Curious which schools are you waiting for? and how are the interviews in Canada coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am waiting to hear from Northwestern and UPenn which I believe are both out of my league. I currently have 3 Ontario interviews so hopefully one of them will pan out... *hayley.
