AidenJohn Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Does anyone know when the pre interview scores are released for applicants who didn't get an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mab1989 Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 They are released around the time acceptances are sent out from what I remember. So around mid-May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftjustice Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 They are released around the time acceptances are sent out from what I remember. So around mid-May Dr. Walker said during my interview day that they would try to get out the acceptances once they're ready. He said *COULD* be as soon as late April. No guarantee though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mab1989 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I hope they release early like they did for interview invites - that was a nice surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexiiiluther Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Out of curiosity - what takes so long to make the decisions? I thought that it was all fairly algorithmic. I had always just assumed May 15th was a formality that most schools stuck too, and it wasn't necessarily because the process took that long.

gottawannit Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I think they go through everyones application a second time (?). I just got an email yesterday asking to clarify one of my Top 10 (but didn't get any inquiry prior to interviews). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would only make sense (to me) to also release the admission decisions earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what the outcome is, it'd be nice to not be thinking about it beforehand, and to not lose as much sleep as I predict I'm going to coming up to decision release day.

daftjustice Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Out of curiosity - what takes so long to make the decisions? I thought that it was all fairly algorithmic. I had always just assumed May 15th was a formality that most schools stuck too, and it wasn't necessarily because the process took that long. I don't know why either but I have a few guesses. Well they probably have to go through each interviewee's score and enter it into whatever database that they have. And also make the random calls to confirm activities listed on our applications. I'm betting that anyone helping the admissions staff is doing this on a part-time basis when their other work is not in the way. Also, another guess is that it's not completely algorithmic. There may be some applicants that are accepted even if they don't meet the specific cut-offs. So they may have to pick and choose which takes time. I'm referring to that alternative admissions policy (section 5.4 in applicant manual). This policy is supposedly new for 2015, but I wouldn't be surprised if something similar was in effect before. We just gotta wait it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCpls<3 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think they go through everyones application a second time (?). I just got an email yesterday asking to clarify one of my Top 10 (but didn't get any inquiry prior to interviews). Interesting how they would do that. I would have thought that they would be quite confident in their pre-interview evaluations considering how invitations are dependent on them...
