Thanks! It was the second week of September.

how long did they tell you it was going to take to get a response? Just curious because I interviewed the third week of september and they told me it was going to take at least 6 weeks to make a decision but that would be really exciting if I heard earlier!

Mine took a month.
 
What do you guys think about people who were completed mid July and haven’t heard back yet but were receptive to my update??

+1

they actually emailed to clarify a few things on my application in August (nothing major) and then complete silence.

for those of us still waiting to hear back pre-II, what does your portal say? mine says "your application is under consideration". i feel like this is a different message than when i was first marked complete?

Yeah it is different mine says,

"Your application documents are being processed.
You will be notified of status updates."
 
Recieved a II here awhile back. Does anyone know what the interview format is like?
I had one interview with a faculty and another with a clinician. There was a lot of waiting around between those and group sessions since my interviews were spread out (one AM and one PM). I believe they sent me an e-mail a week before with the exact times. I can agree that it was laid back overall, but the clinician I met was a little more Q&A, taking notes, stern etc. I think it varies between who you see.
Oh and if you are driving give yourself extra time to park... it took me forever to find a space in the garage! lol don't be late!
 
If I interviewed 9/15 and haven't heard back yet, does that mean that I likely won't get in?
 
they said that they would give everyone an answer about six weeks out: accepted, waitlisted, or rejected. So I don't think silence is bad.

True, just people who interviewed then have been accepted already...

If you haven't heard any news ie WL, R, or A then I think you're still fine. They are probably just slacking and it's possible that some who interviewed after you "jumped you in line" for whatever reason but that doesn't mean you're out by any means.
 
do they email you back a confirmation? I emailed them a while back and they never emailed me anything back. thanks!
They should. If they didn't, give their office a call. One of the friendlier admissions offices, they've always told me "Yeah we received X document on Y date, sorry for not responding" like dam its like when you text future-bae and he/she don't respond, that's messed up D:
 
Is anyone else still waiting to be complete?? I submitted the secondary 9/21, and I'm certain all my letters have been in for quite some time...
 
I got an actual email letting me know my application was complete and would move into the consideration round

Did you get two emails? (1 for when your app was complete and 1 when your app went into the consideration round?)
