More waiting here ... I'm in CA, too, but no mail.

Has anyone sent any post-interview updates? I interviewed about 2 months ago so wondering if I should/can send anything ...

Has anyone tried a pre-interview letter of interest?

Yep. They acknowledge receipt via email and in the status of your application online. I haven't heard anything about an interview, though. I sent them a letter letting them know I had my first-author project accepted as an oral presentation at a National Conference (AANS).
 
Sorry for hijacking your thread (I'm not applying until next year), but I'm filling out my secondaries now so I don't rush through them later. However, I'm having problems with Emory's secondary. I feel like 100 words or less is too short to adequately describe why I want to go to this school. Does anyone have any tips for me? I would really appreciate it! :)
 
Go on their website and find a few things that really catch your interest and make you a good fit.

I've done that...my problem is how to write everything I like about their school in such a limited space.

Obviously you can't say everything you like about the school in 100 words. Do your best, pick 1 or 2 things max, be concise, remember that everyone else only has 100 words as well, and rest assured that the office accepts updates to your file.

Do they accept updates? I interviewed in October and have been considering sending in a letter. Does anyone have any advice on this?

I don't know personally about pre-interview, but I know that they do accept them post.

Sorry to inform you, but that verbal score will probably slash your chances. Sectional scores below 8 tend to act as red flags.
 
just wondering if there's been any success with the letters of intent.

congrats to all of you with acceptances here. it really seems like an awesome school.
 
hey guys. i was just wondering if anyone has called the office to ask about their status? i turned in my secondary really early but haven't heard a word...@@
 
Nope, just checking online on the secondary site. They said that we wouldn't hear anything until the end of the cycle unless selected for an interview.
 
I sent an email attachment that began with, "Dear Admissions Committee" to June Eddingfield, [email protected]. This is the email address she told us to send updates to; she got back to me quickly, telling me it had been added to my file.
 
i sent out a pre-interview one to their generic email but i never got a response. i kind of want to send one to june but i don't know if that'd be kosher if she's only taking them from those who've already interviewed =\
 
For those of you that sent update letters, how long after you sent the letter did it show up as received on the status update page?

Thanks!
 
Invited for interview, but withdrew due to acceptances -- hope this spot goes to one of you guys! :)

Application Complete 8/23, II 12/20, Interview scheduled for 1/23! Plenty of hope for those of us who have been waiting nervously!
 
Fingers crossed for an acceptance this week! Waiting impatiently by the mailbox :xf:
 
Anyone who recently got invited for an interview, when was your application completed?
