II received

Does Burrell send out pre-II rejections? I was complete since August but haven’t heard back from them yet.

I have to assume they do. No way they interview everyone who applies.

Not sure who your interviewer is but mine asked a lot of questions about New Mexico- like what I knew about Las Cruces/New Mexico/the populations of people there/if I had ever visited New Mexico/why I think I want to be in New Mexico. I honestly hadn’t prepared a lot of material to talk about NM that much so that question tripped me up. Other than that it was standard questions

[juliealbright]

Waitlisted for Florida Campus. Felt like my interview went amazing sad to see it ended up with a waitlist

+1 I'm sad

They didn't give me a campus location though and said that if I were to get off the waitlist then they'd let me know.

That’s also my situation too- waitlisted for either campus

 

[GrinderKanzas28]

OOS Waitlist for 2/14. Does anyone know when waitlist movement happens?

The way I've heard schools do it is they have movement in May/June when people are at the deposit deadline and making their decisions. I'm not sure how fast Burrell's WL moves but I know VCOM didn't fill all the seats at some of their campuses last year like Louisiana (newer school) so I'm assuming Florida will have a lot of WL movement since it's new too. I interviewed 2/14 and haven't heard back yet

I see, thanks for the reply!

Oh, I meant the interview day process.

 

[kro21]

It's four hours long, first two hours you rotate through two interviews/breaks. The last two hours they speak about the school, financial aid, and do a current student Q&A.

Awesome, thank you for sharing!

Do they make the interview experience stress-enhancing or stress-inducing in your opinion? I wanna make sure I'm prepared as much I can be.
