[deleted1205653]

for anyone accepted, did it take over 3 weeks post interview? I keep reading 3 weeks or less and i just surpassed 3 yesterday, now im in my head that im screwed haha

I think hopefully they’ll come out next week for ppl that interviewed 3 weeks ago! It seems like last year they released decisions for January ppl the first week of February

Interviewed 10/16 and was waitlisted 11/1. Does anyone have more insight into the waitlist? I was told there is no high priority waitlist this year.

Is the pre-interview orientation a formal, camera-on type of event?

They requested cameras be on. Idk if everyone wore a suit, but most dressed nice/wore a tie. Most also had the Rowan background picture on too, but my camera always blurs off half my face with it so I opted for not using it

Anyone know if Rowan is almost done with handing out IIs?

Same interview day as you, and same 🙁 I know I need to be more patient but i just want to knowwww haha

 

[atomicnugget]

I feel like it’s not just this school right now but MOST of the places I’ve interviewed at…

Not sure if this is the same each year around this time and they waiting for a ton of people to withdraw for more seats, but seeing some traction would be great for our mental well-being 😭

i called yesterday (i was 1/9) and they were super nice abt my concerns, and basically just told me my interviewer submitted my review almost 2 weeks post interview and the 3-4 week turnaround time starts from submission, not interview 🙁 prob the same for all of us that r stuck in limbo i would guess!

Thank you so much! I was going to call tomorrow about it but that makes a little more sense to me.

Out of curiosity, can you send the initials of your interviewer? If that is allowed. I just recently interviewed and wanted to know if I would be in the same boat, or perhaps I had a different interviewer. Thank you.

alternate waitlist this morning 🙁

Anyone know if this differs from traditional WL spots, and what my chances are looking like?

How was your interview experience? I interviewed a few weeks ago and am wondering if they were interviewing me for a wait list spot or an actual spot. Did you apply SGL or PBL?

 

[ms13579]

also alternate list this morn, applied PBL, interviewed 1/9

 

[ms13579]

if this eases anxiety for anyone on the alternate list- I just called found out there is no HPWL this year. so everyone getting pulled will be from the same list. in my orientation session they had said there was an HPWL but it turns out there isn't and honestly that made me feel a lot better!

 

[mikasaackermann]

just got alternate listed, interviewed 1/23

 

[Banana Slamma]

[mikasaackermann]

Did you apply SGL or PBL?

i applied sgl, but in my interview mentioned that i had become more interested in PBL after talking to current students about it which my interviewer seemed to wrtie down so not really sure what they had me under lol

 

[eggwlegs]

Did you apply SGL or PBL?

Also applied SGL

 

[elephantandant]

Anyone know if the class is full?

 

[ms13579]

anyone gotten in off the waitlist this cycle? ik it's super early for that, just curious!

I’ve been waitlisted since November 1st, still nothing 🙁

 

[ApreMed0824]

As someone who marked being highly interested for the SGL track, did any of you have an interview with a faculty member in the opposite track one asked for? I have an interview with someone in the PBL department next week🙃

 

[Lilgarbanzo]

I was really hoping my decision would come out today cause i have a $1500 matriculation deposit due for KCU today 🫡

Yeah I applied SGL and my interviewer was PBL faculty, but it didn’t really have an effect on my interview! I guess the only downside is if you wanted to ask SGL specific questions.

 

[typhoon1]

In state II today - received call from admissions member to schedule interview! My top choice! Complete mid february

 

[rvd]

Did you guys send thank you emails to your interviewers? I couldn't find anywhere who you have to send them to, or if they even accept thank you emails🤷‍♂️

OOS A off WL last week!!

 

[capybara_25]

OOS A off WL last week!!

congrats! when was ur interview/when were you waitlisted?

 

[drkhalidnassour]

congrats! when was ur interview/when were you waitlisted?

Interviewed like last week of January, got waitlisted like two weeks ago, got off waitlist last week. I think their class is close to full so they're prob giving offers only when people withdraw, which is prob why my waitlist date and acceptance date were so close together.
