Hey can someone say what the linkage requirements are since I cannot find it? Thanks! 🙂
Anyone hear anything yet this year? I applied in early February and have received confirmation of my app being complete, but that's about it.

Nothing yet either. I applied back in mid-January, and so far have only been told to send in unofficial transcripts. They said they would start interviews soon, but that was two weeks ago.Anyone hear anything yet this year?

Same. I made a quick appointment with the program advisor who said they’re reviewing complete applications but nothing about when we might hearNothing yet either.

Official transcripts have been requested in my CSUF account but there's been silence from them for weeks now, no sign of an interview or admission decision yet
Yup, Looks like we’re all at the same stage right nowOfficial transcripts have been requested in my CSUF account but there's been silence from them for weeks now, no sign of an interview or admission decision yet
I'm getting so antsy. Anyone hear anything?
Nope... it’s striking me as a little strange since they’re rolling admissionsI'm getting so antsy. Anyone hear anything?
Oh wow okay thanks for letting us know, can I ask how your experience was with the program? Congrats on getting through it!I’m a former postbacc student🙂
I wouldn’t worry too much...in reality they interview everyone pretty much at once. Around March-April
Just an update, nothing yet on my end.

Yes 🙂 I haven’t heard back from CSUF yet (darn) but I have one postbac acceptance from a UC school so far so I’m happy. I submitted to CSUF super early so I’m wondering what they thought was a weakness...where else did you apply?Thanks 🙂 February 10th! Have you applied for this cycle? Fingers crossed for all of us!
Oh nice, congratulations! 🙂 What a great feeling to know you have one already in hand. honestly it sounds like CSUF has been really backed up and moving slowly 😟 You can really easily make an appointment with Brandy Schaal on the website and ask about your application. She’s very accessible and helpfulYes 🙂 I haven’t heard back from CSUF yet (darn) but I have one postbac acceptance from a UC school so far so I’m happy.

Yes I will give CSUF more time before I approach them. Maybe next week...
To those who scheduled an interview time, did you get the zoom link in your confirmation anywhere? I’m not seeing one, I’m thinking of emailing to ask about it
Edit: I just emailed about it, and got sent another email with a meeting link less than an hour later

Haha I appreciate the hype but I am honestly terrified that I didn’t apply more broadly. Shouldn’t have put all my eggs in one basket re😛ostbaccs, but relocation is unfortunately not an option for now so I’m out here praying hard something works out.Omg so u got an interview at the only postbacc you applied to?

Congrats to everyone who heard back! My zoom interview is coming up this Wednesday 5/26 and I was wondering if someone can share what to expect. I am a bit anxious and don't really do well with interviews in general so this is very nerve wracking for me. What questions did they ask? How formal was it?

Congrats to all who got accepted! I'm honestly surprised they're still doing interviews.

I haven’t heard either and I don’t think we all have the same schedule since we have some full timers and some part timers 🙂 we r just set to be on site for labs right? I wonder if that’ll change bc of the spreading covid strain.Also I haven’t yet heard anything about orientation (whether it’ll be online or in person)
