Got email from PI to make a Skype interview next Tuesday (contacted her before but not Skyped before)

Date of notification is approximate

Submitted app Feb 28 (due March 1). Got an interview in April. Encouraged to reapply. Limited spots, too many qualified applicants.

To the below post; I hope it goes to someone who really wants it

I will be declining my previous offer of acceptance, as I have now been accepted at another school that feels like a better fit. I hope this helps someone out on the waitlist.

vvv Yesss girl, preach it

Prior poster: I believe all of us who applied have seen that they post their tentative schedule of admission notices on the application. What we were not expecting is the lack of communication and professionalism from them. These applications are not cheap or something we can throw together in the matter of minutes, therefore it is not unreasonable for us to feel frustration towards their approach to admitting applicants. Please don’t make excuses for their poor way of doing things just because they post their schedule. What reputable school only gives their top applicants 15 days to decide?? What reputable school doesn’t send out most of their acceptances until after the April 15th deadline?? My safety school has turned into a joke that stole my time, money, and really just pisses me off.

Per application "Excerpt from CSDCAS: Round 1: April 1st to April 15th Round 2: April 21st to April 30th Round 3: May 1 to August 1"

Other West Chester people: I’m with you on the frustration!! What a waste of my time and money on a school with average scores that I exceed exponentially. There is no reason for the way they accept people and I will definitely be discouraging friends from applying here in the future.

Shame on you West Chester. This program is a joke. Just finally hearing that I'm waitlisted after hearing NOTHING for months. A tip to future applicants: don't apply here. It's a waste of your time and money.

I also JUST got an email saying I was waitlisted (which we all already knew). It's been 5 months since the app was due and I just can't believe it's taken them this long to let us officially know we're waitlisted. Very inconsiderate.

FINALLY heard something back from them that I'm waitlisted. Has anybody been rejected or is it all still waitlists?

I’m on the same boat as the posters below. I called the program’s admissions lady this week and she said she would check the system to see if they reviewed my application.... but then the system just so happened to be “down” when she searched my name... hmmm

I also have not heard anything from West Chester. I am currently on three waitlists with no offers yet and it is very frustrating to hear absolutely nothing from them. If the program is filled, they should at least let us know.
