I have not received a rejection nor invitation to interview up until now .. However, I was asked for my Fall semester grades at the end of December. Any Thoughts?
THANKSSS

I thought this was the pharmacy thread hehehehe Sorry ^_^
It was definitely laid back. The interviewers were all friendly and conversational
Nice clothes, but nothing formal....like something you'd wear to church or Sunday dinner.
When I went my parents wore dress pants and nice sweaters.
Historically, starting this Friday.
Last year he made calls over the course of a couples weeks...
I hope they don't string it out over a couple of weeks that would just be mean lol
I agree! but since I've been waiting since I submitted my application in September what's another few weeks at this point? haha
Last year it seemed to be a mix of both IS and OOS, though it could certainly be IS first this time around.
Do you know if he made calls during the weekend?Last year it seemed to be a mix of both IS and OOS, though it could certainly be IS first this time around.
For those who are waiting, don't despair! He started on a Wednesday night last year and made calls all the way until Monday, so just sit tight, try to keep busy, and hopefully you will get a call!
For some reason I don't think he made as many during the weekend last year (if he did, it wasn't really broadcasted on FB/SDN).
Let me ease your fears a bit. Last year when I interviewed, everyone around me was coming out of rooms with wide ear-to-ear smiles and was saying how conversational and laid-back it was. I sighed in relief, thought of how good my other 2 interviews went, and entered my interview room. I was grilled over and over and over again by two vets who were completely unyielding and I was so taken aback that I stuttered through some of it and then broke down when I exited the room. A few weeks later, and I surprisingly got a phone call.
My interview was the complete opposite. My interviewers were very conversational and laid back! I had 3 interviews and Purdue was by far my favorite one!
It's totally true and I felt so bad for her. But it all worked out, so don't fret too much.Let me ease your fears a bit.

It's different for everyone, but the main point is that just because it seemed bad or really really hard, doesn't mean it actually went poorly. It could have just been the style of your interviewers. So don't lose hope!
Ah i broke down immediately after mine too!!! (something ive never done before!) You did really just ease my fears a good bit..not that i am convinced i'll get in haha it seemed to be such a horrid interview!..but it is good to know that there is some possibility left that i could SOMEHOW hear good news of some sort!!! Bc i really did fall in love with Purdue's program... but either way, i suppose what's meant is meant. Thank you sooo much for your sharing your experience!!Let me ease your fears a bit.

and you'd actually be surprised how many people in my class chose to come to purdue over their instate because they liked their interview experience so much! It really is like family here. And funny thing, the year I was accepted mypurdue made a mistake and told some of the people they had gotten in before the dean called. So everyone got called in a matter of a few days because a lot of people panicked that their mypurdue didn't tell them they got in.
I talked with a girl during the interview who had Dr. Reed as well, and she said something along the same lines of what you said. My interview wasn't like that at all. It wasnt completely relaxed but I didn't really feel much pressure from my interviewers at Purdue.
Mypurdue is basically the website hub for all things Purdue. It's where I registered for classes as an undergrad, accepted my financial aid, updated address info, etc.
