Congrats! When are you interviewing/How far out are interview dates being offered right now?

 

[CK89]

Does anyone know where you can add the ties portion of your application to this? I can't fit into the other questions because I have no room so is it a good idea to put it in an update letter or LOI after submitting my secondary?

 

[wiseguy01]

Any past applicants have any insight on how much they care about the 2 week secondary turnaround recommendation? I just noticed it now and haven’t submitted yet 4 weeks later.

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Watch information videos prior to interview day (or as you fill out secondary applications)

I'd say go ahead and submit anyway. It's like you said, a recommendation. Not a requirement.

 

[satellitenight]

Does anyone have any tips on how to prepare for the interview?

 

[opaqueglass]

i never got my secondaries for this school, not sure if they got lost in spam or something, does anyone have the generic link to make the portal? and/or should i send them an email?
