Are they still sending out II?
Is it worth still sending an update if I haven't heard anything?I believe they’re interviewing into April.
Newport has some nice areas, but a word of caution. The bridges from Cincy to KY are packed during rush hour. That 12/15min drive can easily hit 30+.How do fellow potential OOS matriculants feel about living in KY for 4 years in order to save that ~$20,000 in tuition? There are the additional costs with paying for parking, which is about $800 a year, and of course higher gas costs. Still, with a 5% interest that's like $27,000 assuming you start paying it off in 7 years, aka a brand new cheaper tesla that's rumored to be out by that time.

If it's during the morning rush hour, same deal.Oof. What about in the morning from ky to cincy?
Accepted student here. Have reached out to admissions multiple times and they have said they have not made a decision yet if there will be internal rankings that use M1/M2 grades yet. Current M1s do not have it due to COVID, but it normally has been in place in years best. Honestly very disappointed that they have been vague and unhelpful during this process. They said they will have a second look virtual event next week to discuss this but then also say they're not sure when a decision will be made. I don't have much personal faith that they will have a decision made by the time we have to narrow down to one school.Any word on rankings or P/F for M1 and M2s? Also - are any current students monitoring this and can speak to the pros/cons of UCCOM?
Yes.Has Cincinnati sent pre-II rejections yet or will this happen in one massive wave over the next few days?
Wait to which question, the former or the latter?Yes.
Yes.......Wait to which question, the former or the latter?
Not sure about pre-II Rs but I got my II at midnight on Halloween, which was a Saturday.Anyone know if Cincinnati sends pre-II Rs or even IIs during the weekend or Friday nights even?
I don’t think sending an update could hurt. Good luck!Soooooo, interviewed at end of February, haven't heard back yet, but just got a really awesome new position. Worth sending an update, or is it too late?
Considering lack of WL movement I would definitely send all updates possible prior to getting your decision imoSoooooo, interviewed at end of February, haven't heard back yet, but just got a really awesome new position. Worth sending an update, or is it too late?
If it was the first week of March (3/2 or 3/5), even 3/5 is pushing it. I wouldn't count on it if you interviewed after the first week. They seem to releasing decisions for every three interview dates so 2/23, 2/27, and 3/2. However, they might start increasing that # since we are approaching April and people need to make decisions.For March interviewees, if the SDN timeline holds up, we should be hearing back March 29th?
I’m hoping the latter happens. I interviewed March 9th & would love to make a final decision soon that didn’t carry into AprilIf it was the first week of March (3/2 or 3/5), even 3/5 is pushing it.

When do you both think an appropriate time to send a letter of interest/intent will be? I don’t want to send it too early, but I also interviewed March 9th, a later dateIf it was the first week of March (3/2 or 3/5), even 3/5 is pushing it.

Didn’t they say at the interview we have 5 business days after the interview to upload updates/letters of interest because after that the reviewers won’t see the uploads? I could be getting this mixed up with another school as wellWhen do you both think an appropriate time to send a letter of interest/intent will be?

I am of the opinion you should send it as soon as possible after your interview before the committee has had a chance to review your full app as I highly doubt they will reconvene to reread your app/reassign you a score for a LOI later onWhen do you both think an appropriate time to send a letter of interest/intent will be?

They said we had a week, but I didn’t think LOIs counted in that. I’m not sure but I’m also afraid to callDidn’t they say at the interview we have 5 business days after the interview to upload updates/letters of interest because after that the reviewers won’t see the uploads?

Probably a good idea. I just wasn’t sure since I thought those letters were sent usually laterI am of the opinion you should send it as soon as possible after your interview before the committee has had a chance to review your full app as I highly doubt they will reconvene to reread your app/reassign you a score for a LOI later on

For any current Cinci students on here, how feasible is it to travel back home as an OOS on the west coast to see family? Does the curriculum schedule allow to travel back home for a weekend once a month?
Hello! Are there any current Cincinnati students that would be open to talking about their experience via PM? I'm trying to make a choice and I would love to have some insight.
Thanks for the input! I was intending on doing NKY bc to me that 20-30K is A LOT of money. What about being close to school makes it worth it for you? Is it just being able to save time, stay at the library longer, etc? I guess living in Ohio would save you a few thousand on parking and NKY fees, so the difference maybe is a bit smaller?Commute usually isn't terrible because I don't end up traveling during rush hour - during rush hour it can be a little worse. Usually from Bellevue, my commute is 10 mins, at worse 20 coming back to NKY because there's now construction on 471 southbound (highway connecting Newport/Bellevue to Cincy). I will say there way more traffic on the Covington side, so aim for Newport/Bellevue if you decide to go to the NKY route.
That said if I could do it again I would try to live near school! NKY is actually great and so is saving 30K, but the convenience of being near school is worth it.

Also, how do you like the school so far? There was a poster on here who was very negative on the school (internal rankings, competition, etc) but most others seem to really love the school (although that's judging from the school info sessions)
I hope tomorrow is the day!Anybody think tomorrow is the day? I Interviewed 2/26 and I can't stop thinking about when they are going to let us know. Hope the best for everybody!

lmaooo this really just happened to me smh. pre II R just now and went through all the shenanigans to reset my PW.I’m guessing I got a pre-II R? The email says to log in to view my admissions decision, but then to set a new password because my old one expired. Really making me jump through hoops to get rejected hahaha
Same. Pre-II R. IS, completed November.Just got the pre-II R now. Ugh dang it.
I’m praying we do fellow 3/9 interviewer!Does anyone think that those who had interviews on 3/9 will be hearing back today?
