I got a phone call a few days ago, but still havent received my letter. I checked early this morning to see if my portal changed-- nothing. But I just checked and it has changed with a message update of an acceptance.

I know it's super early in the game, so just be patient. If you havent heard anything, youre still in for the running. Dont lose hope!!

Does anyone know if there is a fb group or something running for accepted students to join?

I remember there was one woman from the east coast on 9/7. Are you her? Maybe we're all sitting on the west coast twiddling our thumbs waiting for 5:00 pm?

Congratulations! Did you get a call?

Yes, it seems like calling is the way they're going about it with letters coming ~1 week later.

It does NOT appear as if your portal will update before the call FYI to everyone else who has been neurotically checking :)

So it seems like one person from 9/7 in Lebanon has heard back at least. I'm really hoping to hear either way at least within the next week

Just received the e-mail that my status has been updated and on my portal it shows the acceptance letter! Just an update for those who interviewed the same day and have not received a call yet. Check your portals! :)

The "your interview" section doesn't show up anymore in my portal. My understanding is that they met today, so kind of seems like a rejection to me.

Are you asking Pomona or Lebanon people? If Lebanon, I was hot pink if I'm remembering correctly.

I believe it’s 40% they gave us a number on how many they accepted out of an interview group but the exact numbers slip my mind. I just remember doing the math and it came out to ~ 40% but maybe someone can chime in here :)

Pomona??

And why would you say that? A brother like you who seems competent and plays Dark Souls should be a shoe-in.

Lol probably because I walked in the room and started praising the sun ;)

In all seriousness I I think there was a mix of I might not have performed well because I was stressed cuz I wanted to get in so bad. But that's why we applied to so many schools right! Give us more chances for stuff like that :)

And no, it was in Lebanon. The people were great and I loved the location. Congrats to everyone getting in!!
