Does anyone know if being interviewed in December puts you at a disadvantage?
 
Hello! I got an interview here for 8/25, but still have no received details on my interview such as location and such. Has anyone received an email regarding further info?
 
Anyone know the dress code for the open house on 8/26? Was thinking about wearing khaki pants and long-sleeve button down.

Is 8/26 open house only in person or is there a virtual option too?

I would do business casual since that’s what they expect for students!

Yes, business casual for the open house. Make sure to dress comfortably, as you'll be walking a fair bit and spending some time outside transitioning between the sim center and main building.

I am interviewing on 8/25 as well and received an email this Monday with the schedule and my interview time along with all the details. Definitely reach out to admissions!!
 
To those who got II, how long did it take after your application was complete and in review?
 
Wow you guys already have acceptances. My interview is not until late October. 😭
 
Has anyone who interviewed in August received their acceptance boxes yet?
 
I was just placed on the interview waitlist. Does anyone know if there is typically any movement from this list? Even if it’s near the end of the cycle?

what does this mean? You are on a waitlist to interview, or did you already interview and they put you on waitlist after? (sorry new here)

Sometimes schools will take applicants that they are potentially interested in, but not interested in enough at the moment to grant them an interview, and place them on hold without offering an interview or rejecting them. Theoretically, if several months from now they start needing to pull people off of their actual waitlist, they might pull people off hold for interviews and interview them to replace the people who were taken off the waitlist. I‘ve seen it happen in the past where people are taken off the interview waitlist as late as July, invited to interview, placed on the actual waitlist, and then offered acceptance. I was just wondering how often that sort of thing happens at a school like ACOM.

ohhhhh got it! Thank you for the explanation 🙂
 
Hello! My application checklist has been at 86% for about 3 weeks. The only thing that has not been checked on is my physician's letter. My application was completed on August 3. Has this happened to anyone?
