    How long did it take to get the official enrollment email to set up the Consultant phone call and DYS login activated after acceptance?

    It was about a month for the consultation to get set up for me, and I turned in the enrollment form right away. Te login was about 3 weeks. Congrats!

    Yes, three weeks to get set up with passwords etc, and another week after that for our consultant to contact us. We still haven't had a meeting yet, but that's because we went away for two weeks. I'm looking forward to talking with her soon.

    We went through the same thing - it takes a while to get things squared away about 6 weeks in DDs case.

    We applied for the Aug 1st deadline.
    I was just re-reading the qualifications and I think I misunderstood previously... The way I am reading it now, only ONE of the tests has to be within the last two years? (if that is true, I guess I didn't need to sweat a 'portfolio'). Oh well!
    So, is it safe to say people usually hear at THE END of the month? And also, do you hear either way? (do they tell you if you didn't make it??) Thanks!

    Yes, they tell you if you don't make the cut, or if they want to see more material before they decide.

    Hi, hjb. We heard on the last business day of July and it wsn't until the end of the day ET. I'm certain I read that they respond either way.

    Good luck!!
