Is the interview a big factor of the decision? Do you all want to attend this school?
I'm assuming they're interviewing at least 100 of us, so I think the interview must be pretty significant in choosing who will get a seat in the cohort! Duke is definitely my first choice!

I agree the interview will likely be a pivotal part of their admissions decision. UNC is my top choice but Duke is definitely a close second.

Hey peeps! Has anyone received the follow-up email Duke promised to provide with the more detailed interview information on 'what to expect and how to prepare'? Honestly seems a little weird that they haven't provided that information yet.

update: I emailed them and they said that they are finishing up the schedules and will be sending them out today via OTCAS

Please correct me if I am wrong. Is it true that deposit fee is $1,000?!

Omg i might see you there! Did you get an email?

I received an email from them two days ago with my schedule and interview details so I would definitely check in with them if you still haven't received anything by today. To put your mind at ease about the long interview time, the schedule included in the follow-up email didn't seem all that intimidating. There will be a short group interview and a short individual interview but it looks like the rest of the time will be spent learning about the program / graduate life.

I just got the email! Tysm for being so helpful~~
 
I think it's safe to say that you'll get in if you received an email, assuming that everything goes according to plan with the accreditation process.

Has anyone joined the Facebook group yet? Also I’d be happy to start a GroupMe for us since not everyone may have a Facebook.

They did not accept my request. I feel like they will allow students to join after we officially make the payment.
we should definitely make a GroupMe :)
