When we get the email about the decision letter being signed by the Associate Dean, we can call to find out what the decision is.

Good luck in your waiting process Beeweew 🙂. My interview is tomorrow morning and I got a feeling I wont be able to sleep tonight :scared:.... Since its so close to the 15th, does it mean that i have to wait until March 15th to hear back?

That's a good question... I'll tell you this much though, Ms. Walk will definitely clarify that for you during the information session of the interview.

I hope you have a blessed day tomorrow, along with everyone else being interviewed. Be genuine, alert, and humble...and all good things will follow.

Hopefully you can get some sleep tonight..

Hey, Kaji!! Long time! I hope you have a great interview day tomorrow. I'll be praying for you and make sure you ask Ms. Walk about when you'll hear back. Have fun and just relax... I'm sure you'll do great!:biglove:

Lol... this is going to be a long week Beeweew! I'm just going to try to keep myself occupied with school work..

FYI: I finally got a chance to read "The Alchemist" (about half way through)..it's a short and pleasant read.. I highly recommend it to everyone. It definitely bends your perception of life in general and the pursuit of one's goals.. easy and relaxing read.

Se7ven Days!!

Ahh! I love that book, love Santiago... You will love the ending! The book def gives you a different perspective on life.. Pleasant read indeed!

While on the topic of recommending books, if you guys are looking for something hilarious (people were literally looking at me weird as I was laughing like a fool on the metro while reading this book) pick up a copy of David Sedaris' "Me talk Pretty One Day." It will ease the worry a bit this week!

Are you from D.C Buddahbelly?

No, Im OOS (FL).. and I was thinking of living off campus. What do you guys think? Maybe if I had my car up there, it'll be easier lol.

Good luck everyone! 7 more days!! 👍:luck:
 
It has been a long week voyager, that's a great book--definitely makes you see certain things in a different perspective. I'm trying to keep this week as busy as possible as well, focusing on my classes and work. Trying to stay away from SDN because I know I'll get overly anxious then excited then paranoid then scared then confused haha

Beeweew, I'm rapidly approaching the ending... a few of my other friends also mentioned how good the ending of The Alchemist is. "Me talk Pretty One Day" will definitely go on my list of must reads..

DoctorDang, I actually heard good things about "The Wind-up bird chronicle" not too long ago- also on my list.

QueensFinest, I hear you bro. It seems like focusing on school work is the only thing I can do to curb some of the anxiety of waiting to hear back from Howard.

We're almost there!!

ALMOST!! 6 Days to go!! The slowest 6 days of my life, to be honest :beat:. But we are all in this TOGETHER!!
 
Hang in there everyone!!!

I am seriously so excited for all of you! :luck:👍
 
I know I said I'd be back on decision day, but I couldnt stay away from you guys. ^_^ almost there!
Dr. Dang, shut your face! I LITERALLY just finished the wind up bird chronicle a few days ago. Picked it up on a whim and loved it! Gotta read some of his other stuff. My dad has a copy of "me talk pretty" also--maybe I should give it a go.

Lol! Nice!! You definitely should read his other books, try Spunik Sweetheart 🙂

@ Voyager1, I borrowed The Alchemist from my friend yesterday 😀 Just finished it this morning! I think it is such an appopriate time right now to read that book, just because in a way, I am on my way of pursuing my personal legend :laugh:

Just pretend that all of us are walking in the desert right now and about 6 more days we'll reach the Pyramid!

Hey voyager1 you were right. Ms Walk answered the question (indirectly). She said the committee process takes 1-2 weeks AFTER they recieve my evaluation from my interviewer.

The interview went great!!! I was "genuine, alert, humble" as well as relaxed and passionate about coming to HUCM. Hopefully my interview turns into an acceptance after March 15th 😀

HEy Beeweew!!! It was a long time. I have been busy preparing for the interview, studying for classes, doing my thesis, working, shadowing and trying to have some form of a time to relax lol.... Thanks for your prayers Im sure they have helped me.

I think it went great. I really hope they select me 😀... All I can do now is wait.... anxiously lol :scared:😍😱

Good luck on the 15th!!!!!

Hey SpaceDoc, after my interview I had to head back home because I had an exam Wednesday morning 🙁 It would have been nice to chill in DC for a little longer but I was there the weekend before my interview so I guess it wasn't too bad.

I hope your interview went great yesterday!!!!

Wow, Kaji! You've been busy! I'm glad you had a great interview day and don't worry, we'll be here to wait with you until you hear back!!

Five icons representing how I feel!

Five days to go!!! Final stretch!!
 
I'm glad your interview went well Kaji215! :'] welcome back! 😀


5 more days!! :lock:
 
Beeweew!

I just picked up Me talk pretty one day :'] !
 
Hey guys, keep the book suggestions coming! I need something to distract me from being anxious. By the way, I wanted to ask, does Howard send out an email saying that your application is "out of committee" to everyone? I'm crossing my fingers that I'm included in the Feb 15. decisions.

At the interview, Ms. Walk said she would send out an email when you get out of committee. I remember seeing a post from someone saying that he never received the out of committee email but did received a packet in the mail a few weeks later. Maybe the email got lost? I'm not sure. But if you don't receive the email 30 days from your interview date, I highly suggest that you give Ms. Walk a call. What was your interview date Onemike? Hope that helps! 🙂
 
By the way Voyager and Beeweew, have you guys received the out of committee email yet?

Awesome!!! You're gonna love it Dr. D... No, I haven't received the e-mail yet. I think the committee meets today (Thursdays) so maybe tomorrow we'll get the e-mail?

Thanks for the info Doctor D. It hasn't been 30 days yet (Jan 19). I guess you can say that I'm just anxious because I really want to go here.
 
Dying for an interview at HUCM. I constantly attempt to contact Mrs. Walk but to no avail--- I never get a response, and always get a busy signal. She did reply to my email once but never again. This waiting is getting hard

Ms. Walk is probably very busy, but don't stop trying!

Long week- over. I was MIA due to a couple exams and lab reports.

@DoctorDang.. wow, you zipped through The Alchemist, I like that. You're spot on with associating Santiago's pursuit of his personal goal with that of your own. The book provokes the same thought in me..

-and to answer your question, I haven't received the out of committee email yet.

@Kaji..!! Very good to hear that the interview went well. Isn't Howard just an inspiring place to be? You are certainly in my prayers.

@QueensFinest & Beeweew... Trust me, I'm in the same boat as you guys. Every time I check my email there's a little anxiety.

God's greatness is beyond measure.
