I'm about 80% sure I'll be at Temple second look next month.
Someone today posted that the last interview date was 12/12 (I think). However there was a flyer at the luncheon a couple weekends ago about a second look date in January, so I'm guessing they set something up that isn't linked to an interview day.
Yeah that was me, haha how did you know? I felt so bad because I got a huge plate of food but barely touched it. It was super tasty but I way overestimated my appetite. Whoops.
I'll be there dec. 12th too!! See ya there!
Mine never changed to "under review" after I interviewed; it said "Interviewed" until it was updated to "Accepted"
mine says 8 am ... don't want you to be late lol. is it CS/B or temple?
Wow that's a quick turnaround, congratulations!
Bryan...and yeah, at 8 am this thursday. I was just saying I received the II at 9 am that morning.
Well thats depressing. Does anyone know who i should contact to get my file reviewed and when i should ask? Im sure i will match to a school, but i would just like to know what part of my application a&m weeded me out for. Like any red flags or anything.
Alright i see. So if i dont match anywhere then i will contact them.
I interviewed there last year, was waitlisted and called and set up an appointment with Mr. Maldonado (Filo) got great pointers and interviwed again this year and was accepted!
What do you mean about "then do not even enter the match"? If you're saying they aren't considered "acceptable" (meaning below the waitlist threshold) then I'd say that's probably about right, which if you think about it is pretty good for TX schools. A&M accepts around 2/3 of interviewees, a more generous proportion than most of the others which are around 50% or lower.
But of course, I told the other applicants in the meeting room that everything went well 😎 I matched...How about folks that interviewed on 12/12? I thought they are awaiting a Pre-Match decision (by 12/31), at least thats what was told when they interviewed.
I think BlueLabel kinda said it all.. from our side it's really hard to judge how we preformed.
1) We're nervous and anxious and have our rehearsed answers in our mind so if our responses aren't what we thought they would be, we think we've done badly. But honestly, they don't know your answers or how you planned on saying them and they really do take into account nerves and so in that respect.. you don't know.
2)We do the research on the school and the interview process but we don't know what each interviewer is looking for in an applicant (perhaps a good reason we get usually get 2 interviews).. You just can't anticipate this and with "poker faces" it's hard to tell how we did afterward.
3) You are you're worst critic.. we all have a high standards that we hold ourselves too (else we wouldn't be applying) and sometimes we judge ourselves to harshly...plus it's easy to compare ourselves to other applicants (esp on SDN) and feel like they're doing so much better.. remember most of it is a front and not everything is as smooth as it seems 😉
Last thought.. I interviewed with an A&M prof that grilled me a bit: he liked to play the devil's advocate and take the other side of EVERYTHING I said! It was tough, I'm not going to lie..I left and my knees were kinda shaking
I will be expecting that email soon!
