Hi guys,
Is it a good sign if adcom reaches out to you and asks for more details on my application? JS reached out to me 2 days ago.... haven't heard from her since.
Thanks!
These questions are so funny, they're a clear indication of how this process just get to people's nerves.
The truth is that unless you work in the admissions office, there's no way in hell you can know for sure if this is a good sign or not. It just means that while evaluating your application, they had questions about a specific aspect of it, and decided to ask for clarification instead of trying to guess. It is impossible to predict any outcome based on this event.
Some may say 'oh, it's a good sign that they're evaluating his profile'. But isn't that what they do to every application, isn't that why we pay the application fee? All applications are evaluated, especially the ones from people who were interviewed.
I know it's fun to talk about it, but you shouldn't expect anything from this, really. The fact that they asked you for some clarification does not mean anything. The same thing happened to me in a different admissions process, and I was rejected. I'm sure the same happened to someone and he or she was accepted.
Just relax and hope for the best, 7 days to go, tops.
Good luck!
