Sorry to hear this news. Did the two of you receive these letters over email or in the mail?

I just got the secondary review email last week! I have to admit that I was pretty surprised to get it this late (I applied originally in June), but I guess that means they are still planning to do more interviews?

Congrats! When did you interview? And do you also see anything pop up in your applicant checklist?

Does it just say "Need for Application to be Complete" under the "Applicant Checklist" section? Has anyone who has been accepted seen this pop up?

Oh interesting catch! I have no idea but I guess that means we’ll hear soon...

Sorry to be the bearer of less-than-stellar news. FWIW, I know a lot of people who got accepted heard back on October 12 and October 27 (just look at some of the previous entries on this forum). My guess is that MWU was on the fence about a lot of folks and weren’t going to make final decisions on acceptances/waitlist/rejections for them until they had interviewed more candidates. Now that they have spent the month of October interviewing, they are probably better prepared to make those decisions. Just because you haven’t heard does not mean you won’t get in, either now or later. Also: congratulations to all the stellar candidates who were offered admission right off the bat! MWU was obviously impressed by you folks

I also interviewed on 9/14 and may have an update for you. I emailed last Friday Amy about this very thing last week since it had been over six weeks since the preview/interview day. She candidly told me that the admissions committee hadn’t decided upon my application, but that the committee was meeting in the next week and half and she was hoping to be able to communicate a decision to me soon after that. So long story short: I’m hoping to get some kind of clear update by the end of next week. Honestly, I don’t feel super optimistic about my chances in particular given that other people have been accepted straightaway after their interview/preview days, but I appreciate that Amy responded to me so quickly and honestly.

Very helpful info! I think many people assumed they would review applications in the order that they came in. Thank you!

Hi All, I just gave up my interview spot on November 7. I was lucky enough to get accepted to a couple of programs last week. I love this program, but I think I should give someone else a chance to interview and get accepted at a program they love. Good luck to all of you!

I interviewed in 9/14 and also haven’t heard anything.

Congratulations! May I ask when you applied?

Congratulations! I've been seeing you post in most of the Chicago-based schools, and wait, and wait. I got "waitlisted to interview" here but have happily been accepted other places. I'm rooting for you! Good luck!

I just got the call from Heather offering me an acceptance to their program. I didn't even get an invitation to interview until last month. I am both surprised and so excited!

I also got a rejection email. I never got an invitation to interview and I honestly was not surprised. It is kind of a relief to get confirmation though.

I also interviewed on 9/14, but I haven’t heard anything today so that doesn’t seem like good news
