Waitlist movement started in March the year before last so I guess it depends on the year. I heard anywhere from March-July. Hopefully soon, i’m dying to find out! Waitlisted 9/13
 
I have a general question about the first graduating class. I believe that the inaugural class began in 2017, so this must mean that they will graduate the year 2021, correct?

Thats what they said at the interview, so yep
 
does anyone know how you’ll find out if you got off the waitlist? Do we get a call, email, or letter?

II yesterday for me as well, notified via email! Primary/secondary submitted about 2 weeks ago. I'm so excited, looking forward to meeting some of you this weekend!
 
Interview invite today. Does anyone know if the class is already full/they're just interviewing for the waitlist? I'm debating if it's worth going since I would need to spend a decent amount of money to travel there

They don't interview for a waitlist. If their class was full, you would of have not got an invite as their admissions are rolling and once they fill up they stop interviewing. They have a lot of people on their waitlist post-II, so they wouldn't invite you if they didn't think you had the potential to be in their class.
 
Interview invite just now! Does anyone know the post-interview acceptance rate?

just got an email saying that the waitlist was still active. Does this mean they have started pulling from it? Or does it just mean exactly what it says?

I received an email and then I got a letter in the mail a few weeks later too.
 
Just got an email stating that my waitlist (post-interview) is still active and pending, and anticipated to be open through late July

Yea I am out of state with an II and I decided that I am going to attend. I think it will be a good experience.
 
To those who have already interviewed, did you bring an extra pair of shoes and a lunchbox/money for lunch?
 
I noticed on the interview day information page it says you "may be required to provide a writing sample." Did anyone have to do this and does anyone know if it will be graded as criteria for admission?

1. can you express yourself fluently in writing?
2. does this writing sample resemble in any way (hopefully, yes!) the style and vocabulary you used when writing your application essays?

How does this process transpire? Is it while one on one with an interviewer, or more of an informal activity?

I believe it's informal and there may be a table, desk, or station where you do this. It won't be while an interviewer looks over your shoulder!

Any idea if this is typed or handwritten? My handwriting is awful and I hate writing via pen and paper..

Congratulations!!! I recall them telling us that we'd know within 3 weeks, but wow, yours was in less than 1 week! I wonder if they'll release the decisions for those who interviewed on the 22nd sometime today?!
 
To those that have completed the interview process, did you bring any miscellaneous or personal items on interview day?

You will not need anything extra for interview day. You will be busy interviewing all day, touring the school, talking to other students, etc.
