This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
How was the interview? I've been seeing conflicting reviews on SDN's interview feedback where some people were saying it was conversational but others were saying it was like a stress interview. Just wondering if anything might be different via zoom interviews.
It’s the luck of the draw which type of interviewer you get

Both of my interviewers were kind people, one was more conversational while the other was more q&a. It wasn't overly stressful and I was surprised by the depth of their focus on my app because I had multiple lines from my app quoted and we discussed them together. My one recommendation would definitely be knowing your application well and being able to expand more on that. It does seem like it depends on luck with what interviewer you get.
 
any idea when MSTP decisions are released? I vaguely remember hearing early-mid december during the interview
Seems like people have started getting As yesterday. I am a little bit anxious and frustrated smh...

Just got notified WL. Heartbroken

Hey! I'm in the same boat as sectum. Could I dm some current students as well? Thank you!
 
Anyone know how long it takes after you upload the required documents to get sent II dates?
 
Anyone else not get a confirmation about a date yet? The two dates for the interview were for next week and I haven’t heard which one I got yet and it’s Friday
 
Did anyone get their email with the zoom link yet? I haven’t heard anything since the confirmation and I’m nervous I won’t have it by Tuesday
 
What’s everyone doing with thank-you letters? One to adcom and one to each interviewer?
 
I’m sending to adcom for sure but idk if one to each of the interviewers is overkill
 
Any current student know how difficult it is to secure family housing in Lasdon House or 77th St? This is speculative since I'm not accepted lol, but I would be moving with my partner. I understand that family housing is not guaranteed, but I would not go here if I had to navigate the NYC housing market.

Additionally, would I get to know housing decisions before I have to commit to enroll?
 
I hope this person's question gets answered ^. But also does anyone have advice for prepping for the interview?

Remain calm! It was mostly conversational, but also review what you had on your application. Most of the questions centered on my life story and activities. Best of luck friend!!
