brian7 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I am not sure. They didn't give a time frame to respond. The voicemail just said send an email to let them know if you would like to be placed on the list waiting for a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voicemail just said send an email to let them know if you would like to be placed on the list waiting for a seat. I know, I was accepted under the same conditions as you. But, the admitted students are the ones that were offered a seat. These students are given the date by which they have to either accept or decline the offer. This date is important for us with pending an open seat condition, because once accepted students start declining their seats (for whatever reason), we will start getting calls :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chumnho Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 It is getting close to Nov 6th interview day. it seems like most of the seats are taken. Now there are only pending open seats or waiting list left :( But I still have hope for the best to all of us who still have the interview coming!!!!!

thomeg300 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Admitted students must respond to the offer by which date? I had ~2 weeks to respond to the offer and submit a deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This date is important for us with pending an open seat condition, because once accepted students start declining their seats (for whatever reason), we will start getting calls :)) Usually they have 2 weeks from when the offer was placed to send in their deposit. I believe that all of 50 students currently accepted have paid their deposits so now they will need to forfeit them if they choose to go to other schools... which doesn't give the rest of us a very good timeline.

KKruegs Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Does anyone know how many applicants from the Oct. 9th interview have been offered spots yet? Just trying to figure out how many seats have opened up so far. Anxiously waiting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mteohare Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Does anyone know how many applicants from the Oct. 9th interview have been offered spots yet? Just trying to figure out how many seats have opened up so far. Anxiously waiting!!! Looking back at the time line it seams like 3 applicants were accepted pending an open seat plus I know about another one. That makes it 4, but it could be more. One of four was called back with an open seat!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsu-2016er Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Looking forward to meeting many of you guys interviewing tomorrow! Just remember, you rock on paper, and now they want to see who you are as a person. Be yourself, be honest and you'll do great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chumnho Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I just got back from the interview. How is everyone doing after the interview? It was nice to meet the faculty and applicants. Now it is the waiting game which makes me more nervous. Good luck to all of us!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aas233 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Sightly confused...I have an interview coming up on the 20th and from what I am seeing on this thread, it seems that there are currently only "pending" seats available? What exactly does this mean for me and my chances of being accepted still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsu-2016er Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 What it means is that you were 1 of >2000 applicants that were awarded 1 of 250-ish seats for interview and that depending on how that goes you still stand a chance of getting in. Unless you're set on going to another school, and/or haven't interviewed at all, embrace it as an opportunity to make them get you into the class. At the worst, it's an educational experience making you a better candidate/student for another program this year or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aas233 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thank you for the clarification! I misunderstood the pending seats status, I will definitely be taking the interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atsu-2016er Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'll be there this Thursday. If folks get in early, y'all should get together and do a meet and greet. It helps break some tension pre-interview day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivian4 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hey guys so I need some advice, I have a slot for the Dec. 4th interview. But I am a little confused by the email from Dr. Simon. I am coming all the way from Florida and wanted to make sure I was understanding correctly what is going on. All 50 seats have been offered acceptance and from this point on only pending seats will be offered depending if a fellow applicant declines their spot. If that is correct does anyone know how many pending seats do they provide? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
