I'm in the exact same boat.
Exact same situation. I paid my deposit at the other school because I doubt they will let us know within a week after the interview.
I interviewed on a Monday and received the call Friday morning I believe so there is still hope!
The interview itself was super chill! Everyone was extremely friendly and made it as informal as possible. All the typical questions and some highlights of your experiences will likely be brought up.
I received a complete email just days after I submitted the secondary. If you never received one of those, I think it would be fine to call and see if there’s anything else they need from you. Worst case scenario they just tell you to keep waiting! Everyone in admissions that I interacted with was extremely nice and helpful.
When I interviewed, the students mentioned that they rank sites (I think 6) and a computer system matches them up. They said most people get their first or second choice, and they do a “mock match” in the middle of second year to see where everyone is hoping to go, and they can make adjustments after that before the real thing. I think the most coveted sites vary from year to year based on where the majority of the class is from, as most students were looking for sites closer to home as top choices. Hope this helps a little!
I assume it means there is something on your application that raises questions, but its not a deal breaker. If you haven't already, I would call admissions and ask what you need to do to move your application forward/improve upon and I would do it fast. They are super helpful and calling makes it look like KCOM is a priority for you.
Thanks for your reply! I never thought about calling them, because I thought that would seem desperate and impatient. Do you also know if they take update letters?
I think so. And not desperate at all (obviously don't beg, but inquiring is good and shows responsibility and desire) DM me if you want, I have a similar LizzyM score and was a reapplicant, so I might be able to offer some insight/tips.
tried to DM you, but the system doesn't allow me to
Sorry I think my privacy settings are weird. I just messaged you. Let me know if it works (I'm really bad at technology)tried to DM you, but the system doesn't allow me to
I want to hear this too. Just interviewed last week and hoping I get in like no other!!
This school likes thank you notes from what I have heard. Send them, or if you're really out of state, shoot them a thank you email.If you didn't I still wouldn't panic, I doubt admissions would hinge on whether or not you sent thank you notes.
Accepted student here! I personally did write quick thank you notes after my interview. My reasons for doing so was because I had a really fun interview day and wanted each of my interviewers to know what a great experience I had. However thank you notes will probably not have the greatest impact on if you’re accepted or not, as the interview itself is the most important part. But I still think it’s a good professional habit to form regardless and a nice last touch to your interview experience. It’s probably not going to seal you an acceptance but it definitely won’t hurt you either! Good luck guys!
I was recently accepted if you want to send me a message! I’m not an expert on the school but I did love it when I visited for my interview!
I'm recently accepted, and know a little bit about the school. Feel free to PM.
Complete since the beginning of July and just received an II yesterday. Don't give up hope!
I'd be happy to chat with you. Send me a message.
