You're within the 8-10 weeks mark, so I wouldn't worry.
Not likely, I was in one of the first interview groups and the director of admissions said we shouldn't hold our breath for an admission decision at or around Oct. 15th. However he did say we should have an answer by mid November. I assume I'll find out sometime within the next couple weeks.
I interviewed last week and he said November 17 (so that goes along with your mid-November, just wanted to give you the more specific date, in case you hadn't heard).
A little confused on what you mean by "presentation". Can you elaborate? It's more like you talking for a chunk in the beginning and then a back and forth.
+1 Complete mid-August. sigh.
I thought applicants weren't compared though? The adcoms on this site say that applicants are only compared to themselves, and if they're good enough (or reach a certain number of "points") then they are accepted. If they're near the cutoff then admissions will discuss them more.
That's exactly what they said at the interview.
You also have to consider that they are forming a class that they intend to be diverse and well-rounded, so they're comparing people to make sure they don't have a whole class of the same person. That's how they described choosing people off the waitlist, since it's not ranked. They pick people that they think will make the class better overall and aren't yet widely represented.
thats awesome - congrats! when were you complete?
Were you on hold prior to getting the the II?
I interviewed in October -- they definitely said November 17 for all of us.
Thanks! good to know not to worry until then 🙂
For some reason I kept thinking 14th or 16th. I'm glad someone remembered the right day, so I don't freak out unnecessarily. Two more weeks guys!
How did your interview go? ☺️
So far this cycle no one has heard back yet. According to what others have said, the first date people will hear back will be the 17th of this month. Last year it was the 4th I believe. I interviewed mid September.
It was great. Very laid back. All the students were very approachable and friendly, and really made sure you got a good picture of what the school was like. I was in the first interview group, so that was nice. While the second group interviewed one of the other interviewees who was from UCSD took us on a tour. Beautiful campus.
There should be a prompt inside the room as well and you are given 2 min before going into each station to look at the prompt and take notes.
Great! Thank you!
I stayed at the Residence Inn -- super close to the school (maybe a mile) and only $100 per night (compared to everywhere else, that was a deal). The trip from the airport to the hotel was about 20 minutes.
