Admissions Updates: December 13
Admissions Digest, 12.13.2022
What's Going On in the Admissions Cycle Right Now?
Schools are focusing a lot more time and attention on application review, so you’ll want to make sure to check your email and spam folder for updates to ensure that you aren’t missing any communications from schools on your list. Waves of decisions and other communications should be picking up over the next couple of weeks. During this time, scholarship committees are also beginning to review admitted applicant files (this process can take longer for higher-ranked schools, while scholarship notifications may accompany admissions decisions from other schools). Some schools may require admitted candidates to complete supplemental forms that help them assess financial need before scholarship offers are made.
If you’ve submitted your applications already, make sure that you check your online status checker to confirm that your applications are processed and completed. If something is missing, you’ll be able to see that on your status checker.
FAQs from Students
I’ve been rolled over from ED to RD and have already emailed a letter of continued interest (LOCI). Should I send in another one? Not necessarily. Often, when a candidate is rolled over into regular review, they are then reviewed by an entirely different admissions officer. Additional materials are only important or necessary when they provide new, relevant information regarding your candidacy.
