Cherryyberryy Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I was also selected for the alternate list. I've emailed twice to confirm my placement but I haven't gotten an email back about anything. How long did it take for them to send the other email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggy24 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Was there a deadline you chose to hear back for the final decision after being on the wait list? No, I only received the initial email inviting me to be on the alternate list. It did say some info about a "late entry option" but it was a little confusing. I figured more info would be in the next email after receipt of confirmation but I haven't heard anything back from them yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggy24 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 No... It didn't really specify that we needed to or even what it meant exactly. So I just sent a confirmation email accepting my position on the alternate list. Did we need to specify?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteMyAccount Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I just wanted to clarify that the $155 requirement is not a deposit to be put onto the waitlist. The $155 is to pay for castlebranch which is a outside company made to help do background and drug checks and immunization records for PA schools. Usually after you get accepted from a PA program, they'll send you an email to fill out all the information for castlebranch and then perform the comprehensive background check. It looks like CDU is trying to make sure whoever they pull out from the waitlist is ready to start the program whenever a spot is open. So far from what I know, there is no deposit necessary to be in the waitlist. However, the downside is you do have to be enrolled in castlebranch to stay on the waitlist. That makes better sense.

K_G_L Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Has this school sent out an update to those who interviewed yet? I interviewed back in December. How difficult can it be to update 120 interviewees on their status? I know schools that conduct over 400 interviews and they're still on top of things. I can't believe how unorganized and irresponsible they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAsnowboarder Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Spoke with Admissions today, they have made their final decisions. We will be notified either via email or mail. Do you happen to know if the acceptances will be sent out by mail and the rejections via email, or vice versa? Also thanks for asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doppio_Espresso Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 @K_G_L: I can understand your frustration. I also am still waiting for my final decision. What I've learned throughout this application process is that if a school really wants to admit an applicant, the school will be on top of things and have good communication with that applicant (which makes sense to me). Also, other schools are well staffed and can therefore be more up-to-date with their applicants. I feel that may not be the case for CDU. I do agree that they can definitely improve more on how and when they notify applicants or those who already interviewed. For example, as soon as they know they will for sure not accept someone, they should send out a notification as soon as possible. Luckily, we are almost half way through March which means only 2.5 more weeks of waiting. Crossing my fingers we all hear some news from them sooner than later. I would not be surprised if a rejection letter is on its way for me because I believe they've already sent out acceptances and waitlists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doppio_Espresso Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm still dancing on a limbo. Hopefully this will be a better week for anyone of us that are waiting. Any news at this point is good news for me and I can move on. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dell_rysk Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I just emailed the program today to withdraw my admission because I was accepted to my first choice program. Hopefully someone who has been eagerly waiting for a response will be pleasantly surprised today. Good luck, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
