Does anyone know what the verification process entails? My current employer knows I applied and wrote one of my two recs., but I haven't told him I've been accepted or that I definitely plan to leave. I've deliberately delayed telling him because I'm concerned I won't get any interesting assignments or spot bonuses (I got one this month) before I leave in July.
I plan to give him at least four weeks notice, but I'd like to delay when I inform him for as long as possible. At the same time, I don't want him to learn that I've been accepted and that I plan to matriculate from some third party.
Thanks in advance.
Just one more week for you R2 folks. Good luck. From what I can tell, based on my experience in R1 and looking back over previous cycles, you will NOT receive a call and you will NOT learn before the published deadline. I'm not certain, but I believe the few exceptions where applicants learned early that they'd been accepted were cases where Fuqua's system had a glitch and thus, the Adcom released decisions a day or two early. I know it may be stressful for some of you and you may feel anxious, but there isn't anything you can do about it. You'll get an email thanking you for applying and informing you that a decision has been released. You'll then need to log on to their application site, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on a link that will open your letter of admissions or F.O.A.D. letter. Scholarships, assuming there is money left at this point, are awarded within two weeks of admissions decisions being released. From what I understand, scholarship recipients were called about a week after R1 decisions went out.
