I'm from Georgia.Are any of the accepted folks from the borderplex or New Mexico? Just curious on if they are only accepting those from that region.

If you have other things they are looking for than yes! I.e. You have strong reason to go there, good ECs. I say go for itThose accepted, would you mind sharing your stats? Would be really helpful to know if I have a chance. I have a 65 LizzyM

i interviewed on 8/11 and got an email on 8/11 of my acceptance.Has anyone from yesterday's interview heard back yet? (8/25/15) also do they email or call you the result from interview?
honestly-- just know yourself and the typical big 3 questions you should have an answer to at every school you interview at. i know thats a broken record but i think thats the honest trick to this whole thing.Interview next week, any advice for preparing in terms of the final week? I've been preparing since the day I got the II email

Yes, ACOM and KCUMB. It may seem strange to a lot of people to commit to BCOM right away, but after going through a couple of interviews last cycle, I simply don't have the energy to go through the post-interview hype and then subsequent rejection. Also, I'm tired of traveling all over and a family emergency means I couldn't go even if I wanted to. These factors, as well as liking the area, the connection with NMSU, and the school's potential all sealed the deal.
New Mexico State University. BCOM students are able to use NMSU facilities such as the union, libraries, gym, and so on. It's a great thing because it expands your options for doing whatever you want/need to. Burned out from studying? Go climbing in the gym!What's NMSU?
I got waitlisted. Any tips on what I should do? Is it appropriate to call the admissions to ask why I got wait listed and what I can possibly do to get off it?
I love that climbing wall when I saw it. Anyone want to find bouldering spots out in the Organs? I spotted a few potential problems and even routes that would be great to climb.
Anyone accepted concerned about there not be federal aid?
Direct Unsubsidized Loans (Graduate or Professional Students) 5.84%
Direct PLUS Loans (Parents and Graduate or Professional Students) 6.84
These are the current federal rates. Keep in mind that some of us may have unsubsidized loans from undergrad, and that counts towards the (~224K) cap for those loans. After that, you can only get plus or private.
If you have credit history and good credit, it may behoove you to get a private loan, as you may be able to beat the current federal rate (you want to get it fixed).
That being said, I am a little worried but at the end of the day I'm doing this because I love this field, not because of money or loans. As long as they approve me I will be happy. There are plenty of loan repayment programs available when I finish school.
Hey everyone!
I am interviewing September 4th. and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on hotels to stay at in Las Cruces?
Also, should I take a shuttle or a rental car from El Paso to Las Cruces?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
I had a fairly pleasant experience with the shuttle service, very polite and on time. I stayed at the Ramada Palms hotel, one of the hotels that the shuttle goes to. Not bad for the price I suppose, but not amazing either.Hey everyone!

I'm interviewing on the 10th. I was considering taking the shuttle, but I took someone's else' advice from an earlier post and just made a USAA account for a car rental. Only $34 for two days.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions on hotels too. I just called Comfort Suites and it didn't sound like there was any sort of special rate at all. I found a deal online for $84 a night, which was what the guy over the phone was telling me how much my "special rate" would get me. It didn't really seem all that special if I could have gotten the same price by booking online.

I wore mine half up half down, there were several other girls wearing it the same way, one had a pony tail, one had her hair down.Girls, any advice on how to wear hair? I have professionally long hair but I don't want to wear it down. Half up half down or pony tail?

Exactly. That's fine. The big thing is that...you don't want your hair to be a distraction. Same thing goes for guys. SUPER trendy/stylish is something to avoid. you want to sell them on who YOU are, not how incredible your hair looks. If you wear your hair a certain way and you haven't had any problems in the work place, then you're gold. HOWEVER, if you look in the mirror and have doubts, you should trust your instincts, and try to keep it more conservative. Most people have good instincts.I wore mine half up half down, there were several other girls wearing it the same way, one had a pony tail, one had her hair down.

I've seen USAA mentioned a few times on this thread, but it appears you can only open an account if you or someone in your family is in the military. Are all the people on this thread making USAA accounts related to servicepeople, or is there a way around that?
I curled mine and put it in a pony tail with a cute headband and will probably do the same for all my interviews in the the SW- it's just too hot for a suit and hair down!Girls, any advice on how to wear hair?

Awesome! Did you gel/wet your hair? I'm not used to slick back pony tails hahaI have really long hair. almost to my waist. I wore a slick back ponytail!
