How long does VCOM give you to make a decision about accepting an acceptance? Also what is the amount of the deposit?

Thanks

Greg
 
I interviewed there 11/14 and heard back from them last Friday (11/30). The deposit is $1200.
 
Oh, sorry, I think they give you something like 2 weeks to accept or deny...
 
I interviewed Nov 7 and heard back two days later when the committee met. The deposit, as they said above is 1200 and mines is due dec 15th. Good luck hope you chose to join us!
 
It took a while for VCOM to send out their secondaries, but I completed it about two weeks after it went online. I think it took another 2 weeks from the time they received it to the time they called me for an interview. My interview was over month later, Oct 10th.
 
My secondary was complete on November 1st, interviewed on the 8th, was accepted on the 9th. Best week ever. I've heard from others as well that they are very quick. Good luck!
