Is anyone else dying waiting to hear from postbacs?

Just wondering who has heard from Goucher, Bryn Mawr, etc. My applications were complete before Thanksgiving, and I'm waiting for the admissions committee to review them. If you've heard back (interview/rejection/hold), what day of the week did you hear back? Was it in an email? I'm trying to stay calm; I know these things take time...

I am going crazy because I need to know if I should sign up for classes in the spring at my state university. I just would love to know where my life is going (hopefully BM or Goucher!)

Hopkins acknowledged the completeness of my app a few days after I submitted it in early Sept; offered an interview (by e-mail) about a week after that; scheduled the interview for a week after that; and made an offer of admission (via phone call) a week after that. Concerning the interview dates, they offered a couple of dates, but said if those dates didn't work for me, I could suggest something else.

Goucher took about a week to acknowledge (by e-mail) the completeness of my app which was submitted in early Sept, and another week to offer an interview, which was scheduled about 4-5 weeks after that (just missed the Sept interview dates). The interview dates seemed to be clustered near the end of months.

"I'd say that, on average, Goucher takes about 2 weeks to process applications but can take as much as 5+, depending on the time of year. (If you apply close to winter break, for example, the admissions committee might not be meeting. Or if you're insanely eager and submit in early August. Hypothetically speaking, of course. :kof The fact that you're submitting close to Thanksgiving may mean you'll have to wait a bit longer than two weeks before you hear back.

I was contacted by phone to set up my Goucher interview. I think the interview took place 2-3 weeks after the phone call."

There are also some posts from previous years. Hop that helps.
