benners2 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I sent mine 07/3 and it was verified the Monday after that. I have not received a confirmation at all. I emailed the admissions person (which I did not want to do cause I seem annoying now). But I just want to ensure they got it so I can be considered for admission.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fact that's its been a couple weeks and we haven't heard anything then it should be fine to email them and ask as long as we aren't doing it a lot. What did they say to you?

How easy is it to find a one bedroom apartment? Hello, My name is Julia, and I'm a 2nd year student at ABU. I'm not gonna lie, housing near here was a little difficult to find. Once you are accepted however, the school will send out a list of landlords in the area for you to contact. Typically, my class all had classmate roommates and we lived in townhouses, apartments, or rented houses. Nearby places that people lived outside of Philippi are Bridgeport or Clarksburg.Β Edited August 3, 2019 by Dancejt12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ykwon0117 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I have submitted CASPA and GRE on July 31st, and was verified on August 3rd. I have yet to receive a confirmation or hold email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to receive a confirmation or hold email. My CASPA was verified 7/8/19. I never received a confirmation email or anything stating they had received my application. I received my interview invite email on August 1st. I would recommend reaching out to them via email and give them any application updates you may have, such as more PCE, HCE, or volunteer hours, if any. Otherwise, I would wait a little longer before reaching out to them. I know that they do rolling admissions but I also know a girl that didn't apply until December last cycle and interviewed in March and was accepted. So don't give up all hope yet!

Sorry for the late response! I have notifications on now so I should be of more help moving forward haha.Β So far, Iβve really liked my experience at AB.

I think these types of questions are there to asses your critical thinking, personality, and speaking/ personal skills.
