I don’t think I have been asked to do this foundation site essay and I’m wondering if I may have overlooked it. Does everyone get this? Was this before a secondary or an interview or after an acceptance??
Yeah I definitely don’t recall doing one. And if you interview for a foundation site like Spokane, then you go to Spokane. So I’m not sure what they’re referring to...
I had this essay portion in my acceptance contract too, so it’s not old info! I’m guessing it’s the last chance to find those who are flexible in case they need to rebalance the cohorts? I wasn’t sure but I used it to explain in detail why I chose my site since I didn’t have a chance to discuss that in my interview.
There isn't a deposit correct? - to hold your acceptance.
Well I interviewed for what I thought was Seattle, since that’s what I applied for and even confirmed on interview date. The foundations essay was found on the acceptance contract which was obviously post acceptance.
Correct, no deposit.
Hmm okay I’ll have to look at my acceptance contract again. Thanks!
Oh interesting! Yeah I wonder why they would emphasize the foundations selection pre-interview but then have the essay on the acceptance contract
My invite said I would get a scheduling email in December
Interesting. All mine said was "You will receive an email approximately 2-3 weeks in advance that will contain information about scheduling your interview and the day’s agenda." Granted, I am OOR so not sure if this makes the process different.
Definitely not too late, invites should trickle out for that interview week
Hello fellow Alaskan! Waiting to hear back myself. I'm not sure when we're supposed to hear back. I've been complete for 6 weeks or so, so I'm hoping to hear back soon.
Hello other alaskans 🙂 I heard back a week and a bit ago (received an interview invite! 🙂 ) I was complete mid/late September
Oh snap, maybe my prayers were answered? I got that date from the admissions website, but if that's what they told you, it's possible they've extended interview dates in response to COVID delays, etc. Thanks for sharing!
Which cohort?
Seattle! I also got an email last week saying that they were planning on assigning everyone to the Seattle cohort unless you specifically indicated spokane on your secondary
Thank you! This was helpful. I decided to keep my Spokane interview spot!
I’m like 99% sure you can since we can apply for tracks wherever and since you’re stupidly close I’m sure they’ll take that into consideration even if it’s not in the policy. I‘ll ask around tomorrow and get back to you
Hey! I'd love to ask you some questions about the Spokane interview if you have some free time 🙂 I tried to message you privately but couldn't.
I asked and apparently you can but priority is given to Washington residents but you shouldn’t have any problem tracking here since everyone comes from all over. Furthermore the admin is very accommodating so I have no doubt you’d be able to snag a spot here in the future. That and if you went to any other school you’d be automatically resigned to coming back, assuming you do, in 4 years at the very minimum. So no worries lol
hey there! I just finished my interview for the Seattle cohort. I definitely recommend going over your application and secondary as per usual and also be yourself! They really just want to get to know you. Since it is different being on Zoom, it is hard to maintain eye contact for sure. I recommend practicing that by recording yourself while you give your answers and watching yourself, seeing if you are making adequate eye contact.
Which cohort are you? I'm seattle. I waited less than two weeks, maybe a week and a half including the Thanksgiving holiday. But I know there aren't anymore interview dates between Dec 17 and something like Jan 18 so they probably won't send out those schedules for a while.
