I thought it was laid back. Be yourself and normal.

It’s gotta be one or the other for me, man

How prevalent is Lyft/Uber in Scranton? I leave at 7 am the next day after my interview and I’m kind of worried if I can reliably pick up a ride to Wilkes-Barre at about 5am?

Uber is everywhere. You shouldn't have a problem getting one at 5am. FYI, AVP is adorably (laughably?) small so you get through TSA very quickly. You'll likely be waiting a very long time for your flight if you catch an Uber at 5am from Scranton.

Thanks for letting me know! I was just unsure because I’m used to living and traveling in big cities so I wasn’t sure how convenient things would be over there.

Gave up my interview here for end of November hopefully one of you guys get it

 

[osmosisjones]

I interviewed here 9/23 and have seen that others have gotten admission decisions from this date and later. They said it would be 6-8 weeks and it has now been over 8 weeks and I haven't received anything...I'm starting to get really worried. Any one else in this boat?

Does this school accept pre II updates?

 

[hash_slinging_slasher]

Does this school accept pre II updates?

Yes, you're only allowed 2 tho. They are via email

 

[hash_slinging_slasher]

they told us those were for post-ii updates at the interview

Rip lol

 

[dr.batman]

they told us those were for post-ii updates at the interview

I sent one in and they didn't mention anything. They just said 2 meaningful for cycle period.

 

[dr.batman]

I was just relaying what they said at the interview and I didn't see anything about updates until my interview tab showed up on my portal and then it said:
Applicants may submit up to two meaningful updates to their AMCAS application by sending a PDF document detailing new, substantial updates to: [email protected].

I saw the update thing on the home page and on their website. But I can understand where you're coming from.

 

[medhead98]

II today and selected the only date for December. The next earliest dates were in February.
OOS complete 9/17

 

[ayemcee]

II just now!

R Post Interview, OOS, Interviewed mid-late September, Received R via envelope in the mail. Good luck to you all.

 

[AW0320]

What a waste of paper

 

[mwsapphire]

Pre-II R. Good luck with the rest of the app cycle everyone!

Thanks for letting us now commonwealth does in fact do pre-II rejection emails. It is still valuable information for us. Sorry for the R, tho.

haha Yep, they definitely do! And no worries on the R... I feel good about the places I've interviewed at, so anything "extra" I get at this point is just icing on the cake! 🙂

 

[dr.batman]

Pre-II R and sent in an update. Then they had the nerve to talk about their MS program

Sorry to hear that :/. Have you done a MS program before?

 

[dr.batman]

Sorry to hear that :/. Have you done a MS program before?

Yeah which I felt was the more insulting part.

 

[iluvmedicine528]

Yeah which I felt was the more insulting part.

Yeah my friend received it but didn't do a MS program so was wondering if it was tailored or just generic. Sorry to hear that though.

 

[TheDataKing]

they have the nerve to advertise their MS program AT THE INTERVIEW. And reiterate that if you're waitlisted, you're automatically accepted into their MS program... 😡

Gosh that's insulting. If they give you a chance to leave interview feedback, let 'em have it for that!

Thanks for your empathy.
I'm just annoyed it seemed like they didn't really care when sending that email. Like, the lady who accepted my update was so kind and thoughtful. This rejection email literally makes my first impression feel invalidated

Yeah I feel you a decent amount of places that I sent updates too didn’t end up going my way either despite the admissions people responding and accepting my updates. It’s just part of the process though. I’m sure you’ll get an acceptance!

Pre-II R and sent in an update. Then they had the nerve to talk about their MS program

Just got the pre-II R as well.

I have an upcoming interview on 12/2. Anyone else concerned about the snow storm? I’m driving in from NYC/NJ area

Yeah I’m driving up there as well. If it snows a lot then I wonder if they’ll let us reschedule.

 

[medhead98]

Just got an email from the school saying I needed to reschedule my 12/2 interview because of the snow. Sad because I was so looking forward to visiting this week

 

[xSlayuhh]

Yeah I’m driving up there as well. If it snows a lot then I wonder if they’ll let us reschedule.

They just sent an email letting us know to reschedule the interview.

 

[osmosis2019]

They just sent an email letting us know to reschedule the interview.

Yeah I got it too. I was slightly bummed because I was looking forward to it but with the weather... I didn’t want to be stranded at Dunder Mifflin

 

[Chrisgo418]

hey guys I have an interview 12/2 also but did not get the email. I was wondering if the email said you have the option to reschedule or you must reschedule. Asking because I already flew in and I’m here in Scranton in a hotel

 

[xSlayuhh]

Hey man. The email basically said that since the school was most likely going to be closed, there would be no interviews and we would need to reschedule. Hope this helps

 

[osmosis2019]

The email says classes will likely be cancelled so they will be unable to host interviews.

 

[Chrisgo418]

Would anyone be willing to forward the email to me if I dm you my email address

 

[osmosis2019]

Sure

Does anyone know how often they release decisions? It looks like people from 10/9 found out on 11/15, and i interviewed 10/14 so I’m hoping to be soon. It’s been 7 weeks now

Has anyone from 10/11 heard back? Today marks the 8 week mark and so far dead silence

Same here. I think that's not a good sign. Weird thing is that they seem to send their Rs via mail as opposed to email, so by next week we should hear back.
