Either your EAS had not been approved then, or the 2nd round cutoff has dropped a little?

How do you qualify for second round interview offers?

I received a rejection email the first round so I emailed them to ask what happens. They said that they re-rank everyone in January and invite whoever would have met the December interview cut-off.

I didn’t think UAdl considered EAS? I’ve applied for it, but haven’t heard anything back.

I don't know if UAdl considered my EAS since I didn't hear back from them either. I'm not that familiar with SATAC's entry schemes but I filled in the form for special consideration for a learning disability. So I guess it might not have changed my selection rank?
