It's hard not to... mid January is considered "late" for the application cycle, right?

For what it's worth, I received 4 of my interview invites in mid-January. Not U of A, but others. So, don't give up hope.

I don't know if you guys have seen, but yesterday they posted on their twitter feed that they have invited 515 for interviews out of their anticipated 550. So although there are only 35 left, there is still hope for those who are still waiting. And who knows how many people decline and how many invites they actually have to send out to get their 35 interviewees. Don't give up, it's not over until it's over!!

https://twitter.com/UACOMOutreach

This is where precision would really help us our. They say they invited 515. Does that mean 515 that have been invited and accepted the invite?

Today they tweeted this:

UA COM - Outreach ‏@UACOMOutreach 41m41 minutes ago
COM-Tucson - just invited 23 to interview - totaling 538 invited



I got put on interview hold today.

Looks like there are only 12 spots left for interview invites!

I am holding out hope that this is a misinterpretation. Here is the tweet that started this:


UA COM - Outreach ‏@UACOMOutreach Jan 10
#TwitterTuesday FunFacts - COM-Tucson has invited 515 for interviews and anticipates interviewing 550

We don't know how many of the 538 accepted. Invited and interviewed are two different numbers.

EDIT: Here is another tweet from December 20th, so I think we have more than 12 interview invites left.

UA COM - Outreach ‏@UACOMOutreach 20 Dec 2016
#FastFacts COM-T 511 interview invites, 381 interviewed, 55 admitted

Good point, however UA-COM does have until February to finish their interviews, so I imagine that the majority of their February interviews have been scheduled already and there are only a few spots left for maybe the last interview day.

Looks like this is @DJRoomba 's first foray into posting on SDN. Welcome and congrats on the II!

For anyone who has interviewed, around what time does the interview day end? I haven't been able to find it and I'm trying to book my flights. Thanks!

 

[RightTwix]

It depends on which time slot you picked. I did the first one on a Saturday and was done around 1230.

The page where you choose your interview time should have PDF schedules with all the info.

They end by 1 PM. The agenda will be under the interview tab, and then reference materials 🙂

This is the week when I refresh my email once every 30 minutes . Fingers crossed.

Why this week?

So glad I'm not the only one. 🤣
Good luck fellow post interviewers!

 

[Got Rice?]

Why this week?

The Admissions should be announcing another batch of acceptances for Post-II applicants.

 

[Future_Dr. C]

Best of luck everyone!!

 

[Bucketing]

The Admissions should be announcing another batch of acceptances for Post-II applicants.

Does that include people who interviewed on December 16th?

 

[Got Rice?]

Does that include people who interviewed on December 16th?

I believe so. I was interviewed on Dec 3 and got the hold in mid-December.

 

[Future_Dr. C]

I believe so. I was interviewed on Dec 3 and got the hold in mid-December.

I also interviewed on the 3rd of December and have been placed on 'hold'.

 

[Bywrestle]

Haven't heard anything since a pre-interview hold on 10/20. Still holding out hope though! It's good to know there is still some movement.

 

[Bucketing]

Anyone heard anything acceptances this week?

 

[Got Rice?]

Anyone heard anything acceptances this week?

I was hoping it to be today or tomorrow, unless they want to delay it a week.

 

[Future_Dr. C]

Can anyone confirm whether or not the admissions committee sends out post-II rejections on a rolling basis? This is my top school of choice, so naturally I am *praying* for an acceptance. However, if bad news had to be received, I'd certainly like to have that sooner rather than later.

They don't. You won't receive an official rejection until April 1.

 

[Got Rice?]

This waiting game is nerve-racking.
55 have been admitted while they projected to accept 155 by March 31st (the end of season). If they were to meet up once a month, then we can expect at least 30 applicants to be accepted each month for three months. If they were to meet up twice a month, then 15 per batch like how they have been doing it since the beginning of the season.

Maybe for this month, they are accepting a batch of 30?

Definitely hoping that the next batch accepted includes some of us here on SDN, it's been way too quite... The UofA COM actually posted lasted month on pg. 18 of this thread about the number of students they've accepted so far, "We've accept 66, to be exact and our projected accept number is 155". That's roughly 43% of the upcoming class that has been accepted into the school... Here's to hoping one of those remaining 155 is us!

Oh I'm sorry. I meant to say 66 have been accepted. Yeah... I hope some of us here will be among the remaining 89.

Does anyone know if Arizona has interviews this week or next week? I'm also curious how many interview days are left.

This is such a great example of how neurotic this process is making us all
Only time will tell. Distract yourself and think positive thoughts, friend!

I know they are holding interviews this week. I don't want to speak out of turn with respect to future interviews because I don't have all of the details but I am pretty sure this week is not the last week.

 

[toriz]

Seems like there are interviews this weekend according to twitter. Maybe that's why we haven't heard anything this week?

I wonder if that means that Arizona has finally reached their total goal of 550 Interview Invites.
