Arizona will start interview next tues (9/23). Good luck to all. I rescheduled mine to 9/30 (conflict with San Antonio interview). Can't wait to check the school out and meet ItsGavin and his beautiful classmates. By the way, which is the closest airport ? anybody know ?

sky harbor in phoenix is the only major airport in the surrounding city. southwest and america west usually have the best fares.

Just wait, you'll see. I think you are all in for a special treat. I know that MY interviews last year paled in comparisoin to what AZ ran us through.
It was a wonderful experience, though.
Come find me if I don't find you first!
BTW, Larry and southdakota, another guy who is interviewing with you guys on 9/30 will be staying at my house the night before. So that makes at least three of you!
I think they try to keep it to 5-7 interviewing at one time, but I'm not sure.

I will... just loaded my camera with a new 128meg memory stick..hehe
I have no problem posting, but I don't have any WEBSITES with photos of me. Because of this, the only option is to post a 40x40 photo (all that SDN allows), which isn't big enough for much of anything in my opinion.
Is there a way around this?

At least this is my first interview, so maybe it's good that I won't have a "steriotypical interview method" in my mind.

So it's myself, Larry, and one of Gavin's friends on 9/30.
I believe there are two interview times that day. I will be at the 8am session, but I believe they are also having a session at 1pm.
Larry, which time do you interview? And Gavin, how about your friend?

BTW, for future candidates, you guys ought to get hooked up at the La Quinta inn that is about 45 seconds away from the school.

Don't be scared. If anything it will show you what a special school it is.

Moe, Larry and Curly?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Seriously though, good luck and hope you all do well!
Larry, that is a great deal!
Traffic heading east shouldn't be bad at all, since the bulk of the traffic will be from people heading west into Phoenix.
99% of the class lives within 3 miles of the school, so we don't deal with morning freeway traffic, but I've dealt with it prior to school starting and you should be fine.
Sweet deal on the hotel room!

Gavin, did you have to write an essay last year ?
yep, and it is one of the two things that got me my acceptance. Arizona doesn't treat it as a cursory item.
