My status checker changed to accepted on Sunday 1/22 and I got a call from them today telling me, no email but they did say I would be getting a packet in the mail within the next couple weeks
9:04
Thank you for the update!
@legallybrunette-law: Hi, congrats on the acceptance! What did they specifically say about you being accepted. Additionally, did they make any mention about how slow/backed up they are with applications? Also (lol), what status update did you have prior to the 'accepted' one?
@FranticCuteKitten: thank you! he did not say anything super specific besides just saying congrats and that more information would be coming in the mail. Since I got my decision back within a month I did not ask about it being slow etc. I actually did not receive an email with my information. I waited three weeks then I called the admissions office. They gave me my login and by that point it already said "Under Review" and then changed to accepted. This seems to be a common theme that I am hearin
Congratulations on getting accepted @legallybrunette-law! Are there any applicants that applied in December still waiting for a response? As stated above, i applied 12/17, my status changed to complete on 1/7. My application status hasn't changed since 1/7/23... I'm going crazy over here lol
15:43
I applied 12/19 and went complete 1/6. Still havent heard anything either
8:38
My status date just changed again to Under Review

my status has still not changed :(
12:39
Thank you! Hopefully you get an update soon!
13:10
Has anyone heard any decisions?
Yes; I emailed them yesterday to advise on when can we more or less expect all decisions to be out.. Today they informed (and it reflects the same on my status checker) that I was waitlisted.
14:30
Ugh! Manifesting it turns into an A for you!
Thank you! Me too! If I get any other updates - will let you guys know.

How long was your file under review until you asked for an email update?
19:34
Is it me, or is St. Thomas taking an oddly long time to respond? My application has been in review since late January. This is my number 1 choice because of how close I live to campus so I'm really stressing the delay. Luckily I was accepted to Nova late feb.
