Any news? Does anyone know when the acceptance deadline for the 1st batch?

Has anyone been rejected after the interview that's meant to be a "formality"?

Haha join this party of one. (LST)

That’s sad! By all accounts it was supposed to he pretty much a shoe-in for admission. Mailed the admissions office, haven’t heard anything new :( good luck everyone

Hi, below is the email i received from the admissions department today. Hope this helps:


Thank you for your email.
Please know that we have already admitted applicants into the 2022-2023 LST cohort and are working to send out the rest of the decisions. We hope to have all the decisions released in the next few weeks. We thank you for your patience and understanding in the meantime.

All the best,

I would read this as definitely rejections for the rest. Which makes the whole situation even more ridiculous. When you know you only have to reject people, what is taking so long?!!! A few more weeks to render a decision already known? Thats madness.

Does this mean the rest applicants would all be rejected? 

The sheer disregard for the time, energy and money of the applicants is rather shocking.

It is still unknown why some applicants who have already received rejections in March and early April. However, we have to wait for such a long time.

Anyone from LST still waiting on a response? 

Hello! I got the waitlist email for SPILS on the same day you received. Have you heard anything since then? 
For me, I’m still waiting with my fingers crossed. ????

quote]SPILS applicant here. Got my waitlist notice yesterday. I get 2 messages from the notice: 
1. There are 12 seats for this program this year, and it seems all offers has been sent.
2. They are expecting my reply by 4/8, I guess they would like to make final decision of the cohort before 4/15. 
Fingers crossed for you! 

Also a SPILS applicant here...haven't heard anything as well. Have all SPILS offers been made? 

Hey!! Did any SPILS applicants heard back?? I've applied to the SPILS program but still haven't heard anything back.

Haven't heard anthing yet either, and I just give up crossing my fingers.

I received my SPILS rejection (finally!) at 10AM PST yesterday. Hope that everyone else will hear back soon! The wait has been extremely frustrating, so I feel you.. 

I recieved the rejection for the LST yesterday.

To all waitlisted applicants to SPILS, please note that I received the decision on the waitlist on last year's batch in AUGUST(!) so be prepared for the wait if you are still waiting.  Also, I suspect everyone is waitlisted in  SPILS. Haven't heard of outright rejections based on this forum for several years.
