AVC C/O 2019 Applicants

Applied here - I'm from NYC. An old buddy of mine goes here, he's also from NYC. Heard it can get a bit chilly over there

 

Think I know who your friend is It definitely gets cold, haha...last year was the most snow I saw over my three years.

 

How...how much snow....is the most snow?

 

That is insane. Does it become super difficult getting around?

 

Hey- I am a US student applying to AVC this year and I was wondering if anyone has received their applicant ID number yet to pay their $50 app fee by 11/1? I asked Sharon about it and she said that I should receive it "sometime this week", however she told me that last week. Just wondering.

 

Not yet

 

ok I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one but I am sure this means they are still processing our info. I am sure we will receive it soon

 

I'm glad you asked. I was getting a little scared since I haven't received my ID number either. But we are on the same boat! Keep me updated if any of you guys receive it

 

Roger that!

 

Just received mine today! Gonna call tomorrow and pay over the phone...with the government listening in, no doubt!

 

Just got mine today as well!!!! Going to pay over the phone too

 

They called/emailed me today to let me know my payment was received/processed. Not sure why it took a while, but glad to know it happened!

 

There are definitely a lot of NYC'ers here at AVC !

 

I wonder if they too wanted to get away from the summer heat. I want to get away from both the summer heat and the winter cold. I don't think that's gonna fly by the universe...

 

They never emailed me letting me know that the payment was processed but I called again and asked and they said it did go through. They just didn't send an email yet because they are so backed up. I still like to have proof via email just in case though >___> lol

 

I spent my summer up here for fourth year rotations and I think the hottest day was like 85 So much better than DC summers. (Although you do pay in the winter time...bleh)

 

Hey I was just wondering if anyone has received any status updates on their application? The last email I received was the one giving me my ID # but no email since. :/

 

Just got an update that I passed initial review and to expect interview invites soonish. I withdrew my application because I already received an acceptance into a US school that I fell in love with. Good luck to everyone else!!

 

That's awesome! Congrats! @dirtanddog :3

I'm applying from NS. I received an email on Sept 30th that they received my application and that my next deadline for my transcripts is February 1st.

It's exciting, but it's a looooong wait until March to find out about interviews!

 

Thanks! It's my second time applying, so here's hoping I'm a stronger candidate this time around.

All this talk of snow! I'm not sure if I'm ready for four winters on the Island, if I'm lucky enough to get in

 

Just wondering if anyone knows much about AVC's gpa calculations? I know what their site says but I am wondering how they determine which social science courses and electives to use in their calculations. For instance do they use the courses you did best in? I was a psych major so I have a lot of social sciences to choose from.

 

When I applied, we designated which courses we wanted to use for the requirements, so yeah, use your best courses

 

How did you designate them? I was never asked to designate or re-enter my courses anywhere except for VMCAS. I know there used to be a supplemental app but there wasn't this year for international students. :/

 

Ah okay, I designated on my supplemental. I assume they will apply the best grade available that meets the requirement.

 

oh ok thank you!

 

bump for @dcuellar I think you have news to post in here, yes

 

@OneGrainOfSand Thank youuuu (didn't notify me)

I got an interview invite guys! I hope you guys have as well!

 

New member, long-time lurker

I am a second year international applicant and just received an interview invitation. So excited!

 

Congratulations on the interview! Does anyone know about the interview format?

 

It's a behavioral-style interview. They ask you questions like, "Tell me about a time you _____." There are specific questions in the interview feedback section of SDN I think all but two of the questions I was asked at my interview were on the SDN feedback for AVC, so I'd definitely recommend that to prepare.

 

Thanks for the tips!

Ahhh I see you are from SF too. When is your interview? Mine is Feb 5. Maybe we will be on the same flight!

 

Thank you! I appreciate your post!

 

Hi @that redhead - Where can I find the Interview Feedback? I am new to SDN and am lost in the oodles of forums. Thanks again!

 

^ What Coquette said Let me know if I can answer any more questions!

 

Aw bummer, mine is February 11. Keep us updated on how your trip goes! Good luck!

 

Thank you again @Coquette22 and @that redhead !

 

Have any other domestic students submitted their fall semester transcripts? The deadline is Feb. 1st, and I was wondering if I should contact the school to confirm that they have received it?

 

I confirmed with the school that they received my transcript. And now to wait until the third week of March!

 

@Coquette22 When do American applicants get their acceptances by usually?
