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 ...

Accepted!! I received a big envelope today up in central Massachusetts. I was passed up the first round, I interviewed in early September, so don't worry if they don't take you right away!

Congrats! I would say go celebrate, but seeing as you just got back from the Bahamas, I think you already did!

Has anyone tried a pre-interview letter of interest?

 

[Guero]

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! 🙂

 

[AnthroMD]

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.

 

[themaplekind]

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.

[zed]

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...@@

 

[R1MD]

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.

[madchemist89]

To whom are update/letters of interest addressed?

 

[DangerRoss]

To whom are update/letters of interest addressed?

I have the same question. Can anyone please give us some pointers?

 

[Cinclus]

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.

is this for pre or post interviews?

 

[Missions740]

is this for pre or post interviews?

This is also who I emailed, but this was post-interview. I am not sure about pre-interview, but it dose not seem like it could hurt

 

[deleted261193]

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 =\

 

[lkthlttr]

The next round starts Monday

Good luck! Hope that those of you who are waiting get an early Christmas present from Emory this week.

 

[newyorker41789]

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!

 

[virelangue]

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