Hi everyone! I got an email from Lynchburg saying they'd be evaluating my application at an upcoming meeting, and I'm wondering around how long it took for everyone to get a decision back?

I received that email on October 2nd and still haven't heard back with a decision - hope this helps!

I received an email from Lynchburg about my application. It stated that they could not come to a final decision yet, and my application would still be considered for acceptance as the application process continues. This sounds like a waitlist email without actually stating I've been waitlisted. Anybody have any experience with this type of response? I'm curious to know if anybody has run into this same issue and what type of time frame it took to receive a final decision since LC operates on rolling admissions

If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for you to get that email after you got the initial one saying they would be reviewing your application?

I received the same email on 9/7 and still haven't heard anything.
 
I received an initial email from them on 8/8, then I got accepted on 10/2. But I did not put my deposit down during the given period so the offer expired. (I've secured my seat for other school)

I’m also interested in this type of email and what the future entails.

I got an email today saying I was near the top of their waitlist. Did anyone else get the same thing? I know the program starts pretty soon, so I don't know if this is a good or bad sign.

I have been on Lynchburg's waitlist but have not received any email's. I also emailed Lynchburg about two weeks ago asking if any seats were still available and never received a reply. I am also waitlisted at two other schools, but according to PTCAS Lynchburg starts on 06/06.
