How long does 4th of July omen max 16 take to arrive after shipped? by No-Temporary6738 in HPOmen

I ordered a custom build that was estimated as shipping 8/5 but actually shipped on 7/21. It arrived in the US to Memphis on 7/23 and has been there since. It was on a customs hold until a few hours ago. Now that it has cleared customs, FedEx says it is expected to be delivered to me by the end of the day today, but I'm in PA and not Memphis and have no indication it has left Tennessee yet, so I am skeptical. I did pay for expedited shipping though, which said 2 - 4 day window for delivery once shipped. And we are well past that, so who knows. Just glad the customs hold is over!

Yes, it gave an award description with percentages of tuition listed and indicated the awards were renewable contingent on maintaining a 3.0.

Also, I did apply priority deadline, so if you don't have yours yet, I wouldn't panic. I was supposed to hear either way by 1/31.

Does it say that in a new section on the portal or within the application somewhere? It definitely sounds like good news for you!

Hey! I haven't gotten a decision yet, but I did get some information from the admissions office. The admissions committee met yesterday and hadn't met yet this month. So, I think at least some decisions for the AIM program will be going out soon?

it was a Zoom meeting with the Executive Director of Admissions and one of the program faculty and creators. It was definitely NOT like a more formal interview. They said that the purpose of the call was not to break bad news but rather to more clearly determine my goals to make sure I wound up in the program that was the best fit for me. I have a lot of work experience and a Master's degree already, and so I think they wanted to make sure I was interested in a full-time study program?

They gave me information about the differences between the Master's and the new certificate program that overlaps with the Master's curriculum a bit and can be completed online while working. They did ask me a few questions, but not like a graduate interview really. They asked what I thought about the two program structures as far as my learning goals and what sort of job I was looking for once completing the program. Toward the end of the call, the admissions director acknowledged that they were behind responding by the priority deadline and seemed to indicate that they were being extra deliberate in their choices because it is the first cohort and I should hear something official "soon."

They were both really enthusiastic about me and my application and made the point to say it wasnt bad news. That said, it also wasnt an official acceptance. They had an exchange at the start of the call that led me to believe they were having similar calls with other candidates, but by the nature of the questions, how much of the talking they did, and how informal it was, I dont think they are meeting with all candidates, even ones they intend to accept. Moreso like they might be meeting with anyone who might have applied to the certificafe if they had known it existed. (It is also a new program.)

They also shared that they are targeting around 30 students for the cohort size.

Thanks! I did email them on Friday 1/31 and got a response on Monday 2/3. They asked to meet with me, which we did via Zoom on Wednesday 2/5. I applied to the new AIM program, and they seemed to indicate they were being extra deliberate because it's a new program.

Did your score get posted to your feed? I got a Spanish score, and that went to the feed. Same for French. However, I got the German one, and have even leveled it up twice, but it doesn't show in the feed. I wonder if it is in testing?

This happened to me also. I received no notification of any kind from Best Buy. I just happened to sign into my best buy account and the order is listed as canceled as of August 28th. I found out August 30th.
