haha I feel the same way. I think I'm in the "B pile" at a lot of places so I'm hoping as people lock down choices and turn down II's...I can snag a couple more.

Yea I think thats what happened to me, I was in a B-pile and an extra spot popped open. I expect any interviews from this point forward to be like short notice for that reason.
 
Idk how long I'll last being in the late July crew....

Congrats on your acceptance. Can you give any insight into the interview process? Faculty/Student? Open/closed file? Conversational or more stress-style interview?
Thanks! I did two one-on-one interviews, one with a faculty and one with a student. It was emphasized that both have equally weighted votes in the decision process. It was an open file interview, and it was very conversational, very relaxed. I enjoyed it. I hope this helps 🙂

Having a ton of trouble finding a host for next Wednesday night before my interview given the short notice on the II, are there any current students on SDN able to help me out? I really am not trying to drop $150-$200 on a hotel. Would be the most appreciative person ever.

I was unable to find a student host before my recent interview. I ended up getting a great hotel (Element) for something like $135 total via Priceline Name Your Own Price.

The hotel had a free shuttle and free breakfast & evening hors d'oeuvres (nice salad, burgers, beer, hot dogs, etc).

If you can't find a host, I'd highly recommend it as a backup option.

Thanks man! I will definitely take it into consideration! A buddy of mine knows some undergrads there so I may be crashing in a frat house lol
 
Though I had survived the current round of rejections, but oh well. Rejected pre-II, complete 7/12. Good luck to everyone!
 
Has anyone requested a particular interview date, but then been scheduled for one of the other available dates? Flights get more and more expensive by the day
