Any recent showcase invites?

 

[luminate]

I got one today. Completed 9/17

 

[linearalgebra]

I wonder how many showcase invitations had been sent so far for the second batch. Completed 9/3 but didn't get one.

 

[picklerickk]

Showcase invite today! Secondary complete 09/10

 

[rombuys]

To people who have received showcase invites, did your portal change or update at that point? Thanks.

nope! they'll send you a link for the showcase to a different 'portal' for you to go look at

 

[poppyseedsyum]

Got a showcase invite today. OOS. Completed app 10/11

To clarify what's the difference b/w both the sessions -- ik someone asked earlier, but both are just Q&A?

Also, any As yet?

Basically just Q&A sessions, yeah.

No As yet from what’s posted on SDN.

 

[bubbagump20]

Don't expect A's to go out until Feb

 

[rombuys]

Anyone know when Rs started to go out last year?

 

[poppyseedsyum]

Anyone know when Rs started to go out last year?

I checked last year's admissions thread. It seems that people started to get Rs late January...

I was invited to the showcase two cycles ago but have yet to hear anything from them. Is anyone else in a similar situation?

I'm assuming you mean two months ago? Have you signed up for a showcase date yet? They made it a little difficult to find but there is a link where you sign up for a date.

Hahaha unfortunately I didn't mean to say months - I was invited two cycles ago but haven't heard anything from them in this current cycle

Hmmmm...did you reuse the same secondary or anything?

 

[doctor-J]

Nope. I'm not certain whats going on, just wondering if anyone was in a similar situation

Wait so you're saying you were invited 2 years ago, went to the showcase, and haven't heard anything since then? If you haven't reapplied since then it sounds like you were just rejected.

If I had been waiting for two years I probably could've pieced that together. Yes I did reapply lol

They should be reviewing pre-showcase applications until the end of December, so there is still a chance of receiving an invite if you submitted late. If not, hopefully you were able to attend a rejected applicant application review two cycles ago, and can expand on your areas of weakness if you do choose to reapply. Best of luck!

 

[solankman]

Does anyone know post showcase acceptance rate?

 

[rombuys]

Does anyone know post showcase acceptance rate?

No one really knows. I think some people tried to estimate it earlier in this thread based off admissions claiming that invite 10% of applicants to showcase and then the class size.

 

[Curlywhirly1]

Does anyone know post showcase acceptance rate?

Staff said during Showcase that they won't release this info.

Also, decisions will only start to go out sometime after Jan 17 because that's when adcom meets next.

 

[newolduser]

That additional video showcase ema had me so nervous

 

[pi_grl]

Showcase invite received! Submitted secondary 9/7. So stoked.

 

[turtle2021]

when do you think they will send acceptances?

 

[PurulentFistula]

when do you think they will send acceptances?

We were told not to expect anything until at least February during my staff showcase session.

 

[signomiii]

The link with the text "register for a staff member session and a student group session" took me to the scheduling page.

I see! Thank you!

 

[RajasMom]

[LittlePlumpChicken]

+1 Showcase invite today! First interview of the cycle, so grateful and excited! Engineering undergrad OOS, complete 8/7

 

[PinkTree]

Does how early you attend the showcase matter? The spots filled up pretty quick and February was the only option for me.

They seem to say the showcase is purely informational (so no evaluation) and some people on last year's thread were actually accepted before their showcase dates, so don't think so

 

[Medbro9]

Anyone know what the dress code is for the showcase?

 

[picklerickk]

Anyone know what the dress code is for the showcase?

I’ve only attended the student session so far, some people wore suits but i felt like it was unnecessary. just look presentable lol

 

[bananie15]

Does anyone know if they accept letters of intent?

 

[newolduser]

Does anyone know if they accept letters of intent?

They don't accept any updates, from what I understand. Didn't even want thank you letters after the student session.

 

[jbc333]

anyone know if they'll send more showcase invites in January? Starting to lose hope

 

[Blueberry_Waffles]

anyone know if they'll send more showcase invites in January? Starting to lose hope

During my staff showcase at the end of November, we were told that they had ~100 applications left to review, and were on track to completing them by the end of December. Though it's hard for anyone to know what their decisions will be until you get an update from them - best of luck!

 

[bananie15]

They don't accept any updates, from what I understand. Didn't even want thank you letters after the student session.

I thought a letter of intent was a “if you accept me I’ll go here” letter, not an update?

 

[Blueberry_Waffles]

That's true, but they don't seem to accept any information - letters of intent, letters of interest, updates, etc.

Admissions meeting next week to discuss A's

 

[a522759693]

Admissions meeting next week to discuss A's

Based on someone mentioning they didn’t have much applications left to review and this, I wonder if it’s over for those of us without a showcase invite

 

[signomiii]

Admissions meeting next week to discuss A's

Ahhhhh what else have you heard?

 

[bubbagump20]

Ahhhhh what else have you heard?

Just that. More specifically, that they are meeting for the first time this year Jan 17. According to showcase website, initial review of apps finished before the holiday break, first acceptances will go out in Feb through March, and we should all have an answer by mid-March.

 

[ChemEMeddie]

I feel like I remember during my faculty showcase that they said they were going to meet for the first time about acceptances on Jan 17 and that they should be letting out the first batch of A's out on Jan 18. The faculty member mentioned that they would send out a smaller batch to those at the top of their ranking/those who are unlikely to fall below a future cutoff for acceptance. Does anyone else remember this or heard this during the faculty showcase?

Jan 18th is new to me but that sounds reasonable (first A's reported here Jan 19 last year)
