congrats!!!! yeah it’s a true max of 30 minutes. there will be people interviewing before and after you so unless you wrap it up early, they’ll end it at 30 minutes because someone else will be pinging in!
Thank you! Complete 9/27 🙂
hi friend, would you be able to tell us if it's open, partial blind, or closed file?
i don’t know for certain but while i wasn’t asked any questions about my app as a part of my interview, they personally and specifically referenced my major in college and it’s relevancy to Carey’s program so they definitely had the ability to see at least some of my background info to that end.
the thought of interviewing with this school freaks me out. how do y'all handle the stress knowing that the class is full or close to full? if I got an interview here I would be too scared to show up holy cow I get this feeling in my stomach and I don't know why I care so much bc I don't even have an interview here.
there's a lot of posts up above that should ease your concerns, if you do get an interview here or anywhere else that already has a waitlist. in addition I would recommend you read last years thread as well. in a lot of the DO programs including Carey, historically the waitlist moves quickly, especially as we get closer to seat deposit time. as you can read up above, people have already moved off the waitlist this year. as far as handling the stress, focus on the things you can control and let go of the things you can't. i feel like that's the name of the game for the application cycle.
I agree with ellaevie on this. I was more stressed about the interview (since it was my first one) rather than the class being full or close to being full. What really helped was wanting to do my absolute best in the interview because that is something I have control over at the moment. If I get rejected post-II, it doesn’t matter if the class was full or not. I hope that helps and that you will get a II soon!
Did you call to ask about your position or was it on your WL letter? Curious because I'm on WL too but don't know my position.
me too, and wondering the same!
Did you happen to get a position number?
Nah, I don't think they give it to you, unless you contact them and ask. Also, not sure if there's a difference but the wording was actually for alternate list, not the wait list. Not sure if that's the same thing or not. Did anyone get deferred? On the slides, it said candidates could either be accepted, rejected or deferred, but as mentioned above, it seems deferral is a completely separate thing?
I got deferred. I too feel pain. I guess I feel weird about it because it’s like uhh so you like me or not, pick one please. I also called them and they said I’ll get a reply later is what they said.
i feel u lol.
Retweet
when did you interview?
11/5
Same to all of the above. I’ve honestly given up on WCU at this point and would decline an interview if offered based on the fact that they are already interviewing for waitlis.
i am so frustrated i keep wanting to self sabotage and withdraw my app entirely
oh same...if I don't hear back before thanksgiving I'm definitely going to withdraw my app. I'm not trying to experience the heartbreak of a rejection letter LOL
I wonder if I got an R. No email or anything; I interviewed on the 4th lol
Mm…see I called before asking about my status and they emailed it to me right after…so you might have to reach out?
Makes sense! I’ll try that. Thank you!
I just got my interview like 2 weeks ago, and I was complete early August, so I would say yes and that they probably just haven’t gotten to your app yet!
when you got the II, did you have an option to schedule it or was it a 'do you wanna show up on X day' followed by 0 mention of how to reschedule if you cannot make it?
They gave me a specific date and time!
I just double checked my emails, and there was a week in between the interview invite email and getting the email with the details regarding date/time
I got my II middle of September and the email was basically, "We'd like to invite you to interview, and we'd like you to interview (via Microsoft Teams) on this date. Please let us know if you accept or decline." It was more flowery than that but that was the gist. There really wasn't any mention of being able to pick a different day, but there also wasn't anything that categorically said you *couldn't* ask for a different day. I responded immediately and accepted the interview and they sent me the specific time the next day. The day before my interview at like 9am, my interview host sent an email with the Teams link! Obviously that was a couple months ago now so things may have changed!
