For those that have multiple interviews are you going to all of them or choosing your top few? I'm in Alaska so it's kind of a long haul to go to an interview to begin with! I was not expecting to get all these interviews!

Holy cow!!!! 9 interviews? That is awesome!!! Did you save a baby from a burning building or something?

Thank you! I'm honestly baffled. While my ECs are somewhat unique, there isn't anything crazy. I'm convinced my application was accidentally swapped with someone else's.

Honestly I have 5 so far and I'm going to all of em. I cannot afford to not go to the interviews. If I get like over 8 interviews , then I might consider not going to Maybe 1 or 2. But as of now I'm going to all of em. Did you schedule em back to back ? Flying from Alaska must be expensive as heck.

I know what you mean! I'm feeling the same way…its a lot of money :/

 

[MrsHawk44]

Wow, that IS a tough situation--living in Alaska.
I would ask yourself, "which schools would I definitely not choose to attend if given the option," and not go to those interviews. I have five invitations so far, I've already been to two, and I've decided not to attend one. I decided not to attend the one because I felt good about the others, and I realized that if it came down to that school and any other school, I would choose the other school.
Honestly, you have VERY good chances of being accepted to several of the schools you interview at, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Thank you!

 

[zircushio]

Super jealous and happy for you guys! Plenty of interviews are being handed out this week! Too bad I'm still sitting here...interviewless... lol *sigh*

The two in AZ I scheduled back to back but the others are kind of scattered, it's hard to because I have a 2 year old and 4 month old so I can't be gone very long!

I feel your pain. I have an almost 3 year old, but I had to schedule 3 interviews back to back. Nova UDM and Marquette. I am getting help from my wife and my in laws to watch him though. Best of luck to you 😉

Lol yeah I have the 4 month old that is still nursing and doesn't like the bottle, my poor husband when I leave....

 

[tgill]

Congrats! Any other distinguishing factors on your app? Im hoping to score a Columbia interview and my stats are similar to yours. Keepin it real for us low(ish) GPA applicants 😉

Thanks! I was so relieved, my GPA made me pretty nervous about applying. My undergrad is Harvard, but I don't know how much institution is taken into account.

Good luck!

Though I currently only have 2 interviews, I plan on going to all I am invited to, up to like 7 or 8. I can barely afford that as it is, but I think going to that many almost statistically guarantees an acceptance to at least 1.

 

[Daneosaurus]

Oh wow...must be hard. Mine are 3 and 6. My mom is going to watch them for a few of my interviews so my wife can come with me (pending multiple acceptances, she has to live where ever I get accepted, so I think she deserves the right to explore the area).

 

[pinkster]

I can hardly manage myself with all these interviews and everyone here has multiple children?? You people are amazing

Haha that happened to me two weeks ago. I got a call from Omaha Nebraska , and I was hoping it was a Creighton interview. It was a telemarketer lol. I chuckled, but I was sad at the same time lol

I think ADEA should have a disclaimer about the application process saying that the process may result in anxiety, mood swings, and depression lol
