Did anyone else apply to FAER this cycle?

Just wanted to start a conversation/hype as the notification deadline date for applicants is approaching.

I applied. I'm excited to hear back but I know they usually have a lot of people apply, so not holding my breath. Anyone know if they select based on where your top choices were at all?Thought they said they didn't take that into account, but I wasn't totally clear on that point.

My recollection is that the application process first selects for applicants (accepted vs. not) and then allocates location later. This approach does not take location preference into account for selecting applicants but does take it in to account for final placement.

Could be wrong though!

Has anyone heard anything yet? According to the 1/ 31 acceptance notification date we should hear anytime now

 

[PianoMedic]

I talked with them on the 21st. We should hear something by the 30th,actually, since the 31st is a Saturday. When I called the applications were still with the review committee, and she expected it to take the rest of the allotted time.

Thanks KCC.

Good luck to you both!

I called today and they said we would be notified tomorrow.

 

[PianoMedic]

Nada here. Starting to get nervous because I have another application due today...

 

[PIacebo]

Aww man. They are working tomorrow?

 

[PianoMedic]

Either that or they will send them out tonight yet. I guess the person who is responsible for sending them out isn't in the office today. The person who answered the phone did assure me that we will have a decision tomorrow at the latest.

Com'on email.

 

[Azimuthal431]

Any updates?

 

[PIacebo]

Nothing here

 

[KCCMadeline]

so I am guessing we are not hearing anything today given its past 5 pm?

 

[PianoMedic]

They're in Rochester, MN, I believe. So possibly still? But I'm starting to think we won't hear anything today which is unfortunate.

 

[PianoMedic]

Just received an email that the announcements have been delayed.

 

[BlackBox]

Got the email- first choice (thankfully it's local).

Congrats to all

 

[tigga2013]

I wonder how many ppl applied/accepted though, it wasn't mentioned in the email.

 

[PIacebo]

104 applicants for 60 spots. Didn't get in. GL all!

 

[PianoMedic]

I also did not get in Placebo. Congrats to those that got a slot!
