Has no one heard anything regarding R1 yet? Many of the schools i applied to seem to have let admitted applicants know before their published deadline.

I was just reviewing the Tepper admissions website, which indicated admissions decisions will be "mailed" on December 19th. Does that mean physical letters will be placed in the US Mail? If the decisions are sent with regular postage they could take a significant amount of time to arrive in the pre-Christmas mail rush.

From the previous year's thread, they will send "email" during 3-5PM in EST all together.
And Tepper is known as one of the schools that don't individually call admitted applicants before the official decision.
Anyway, we will know the result soon...
Good luck for all!

Yes - last year we all received an e-mail at the same time, regardless of the decision.

I used 11 pt font, Times New Roman. Did not seem to have a problem and got the interview. I'll find out his afternoon if my font size rebellion was a dealbreaker though :)

lol- thanks - I will pray for ur admit so that I can also use the 11 font as well :twisted:

I am not being mean - with 11 font I am trying to adjust one essay while leaving other half a page less than specified - so making up for that.

LOL thanks. You're overthinking the page thing! I don't think one shorter essay makes up for smaller font - especially at the risk of cutting out valuable info, Seriously, these things don't matter that much. For another school, I was over the page limit on 2 out of 4 essays by ~3 lines lines AND used smaller font (even when they specified these guidelines under every single essay prompt), and I was admitted with a full scholarship.

My point is to make every word count (be very, very, very critical!) and if you really need to the space, then you need the space. They are judging you on how well you tell your story. Not who can write 500 words.
