I work for the University, we just received an update that the University will be closed until Saturday afternoon due to hurricane Matthew. Make necessary adjustments and contact admissions office to reschedule if you have an interview this week.

admissions committee review or preliminary review?

Admission committee review from after the interview.

Status Change: Admissions Committee Review Completed 😱

When were you complete?

 

[Dr. Zoo]

II! Complete 7/29

Congrats! Stats? IS?

 

[Dr. Zoo]

Congrats! Stats? IS?

Thanks! OOS, LizzyM of 67

 

[Dr. Zoo]

So I got my II today and they only gave me the options to either interview this Friday or next Monday. Did anybody else get such short notice? I literally am not able to interview for any later date and I'm from OOS so I have to buy plan tickets and arrange for lodging

I'll gladly take that option if I got an II from FIU.

Lol sorry I don't mean to come off like I am complaining. I am extremely grateful and I do plan to enjoy my visit to the school. I was just wondering if it was abnormal to have similar short notice for an interview with them. I work full time and have a weird work schedule so it's a little hard to schedule OOS interviews. But, again, I am extremely grateful.

Btw congrats on your acceptance! That's one more than I have at the moment.

So my status here is still "secondary application complete" and it's been that way since 7/14. Should I call the school or wait longer?

Mine says that too since 7/1, I would just wait. Some people got interviews right from that status, so maybe they just don't update them all the time

People, do NOT try to pick out more from these statuses than is already there. You can't do anything at this point to make your application magically shoot to the top of the pile so just sit tight and let it be. Try to enjoy the time before school starts as best as you can.

Fully aware they will likely not be giving any decisions until Monday but I cannot stop freaking out about the tiniest possibility they may still do it today🙁 Someone calm me down please

Calm down.

 

[medicalmayhem1]

Calm down.

Thank you🙄 I'd apologize for being a spaz but I know most of you are just as neurotic. We must stick together

Haha yeah you're fine! I am neurotic about this school myself because I am listed as "Secondary application completed" since 6/28...

Same for me for 74% of my other schools

(I suggest killing time by figuring out the exact percent of schools you haven't heard from. Disclaimer: may result in more panic.)

Anyone interviewing this Monday? I'll be doing one of your tours.

Not having an invite by November? Yeah, probably worry a little bit. Don't worry. Happened to me last year.

Too early to worry. You should only start worrying about a new cycle in the new year. Even then, I interviewed at FIU in February (I think).
