About damn time.

Email received was very generic and included no details

Told by email Feb 14th that I am a finalist and invited to interview via Skype, which I did a few days later. As of April 23rd haven't heard a thing since.

It took about three months instead of the three weeks that the site promises with the rolling admissions, but I'm sure it's probably since the program is really new. I'm so excited though!

Re posters below: I have also not heard back from this program. I was considering getting in touch again to ask, but I'm sure I will just get the "things are going slow" reply as well. I'd definitely like to be clued into their timeline a little more specifically, though, as I was also told early April in the beginning.

I am the poster who shared the "early April rumor" previously. I spoke to the same representative following early April and the person remarked that things were moving slowly. I don't really know what that means for admission decisions because they didn't share any indication of their process--just the speed of the process. Sorry for the misinformation, that was not my intention! I'd be interested to know if anyone else has heard any other information.

I saw someone post on here that we should hear back about this program early April... anyone know whats going on? I noticed the website has a "certificate" program now.. did the PhD program not make it or is it just taking awhile? >.
