Well when I was there they did tell the story about the guy who apparently fell asleep during one of the information sessions (how one manages to fall asleep when sitting around a table in such a small group I don't know) and he wasn't accepted. Did you stay awake? 😀
Haha nice story! Yeah, I was wiiide awake for sure!

Here's a thread that show the interview/acceptance ratio from the 2008 ADEA Official Guide to DS.

Last year, UoP interviewed 120 and accepted 119 (99.16%). Those are pretty good odds!

Thanks! 🙂
Did you interview Nov 6?
Oct 30. You? And I was thinking, Pacific said they interviewed about 300 last year so I'm not sure how I feel about those stats...
lol, I heard about that guy too from one of the Deans. Apparently that person is infamous now.
I was Nov 6. I met some nice people, but forgot to take their names.
Did you fall asleep during the interview?

Haha definitely not! 🙂 I was wide awake, and pretty nervous lol.
Everyone I met was amazing! Students, faculty, staff and interviewees were all super nice. I just got a little bit grilled during my faculty interview which was a little unexpected from what I'd heard. But not too badly...
i heard they've been scheduling post dec interviews already. it's just uop'll find out how many spots they can offer to those people when they hear back from dec 1 acceptances. so i believe post dec is either for acceptance or waitlist depending on how many seats they have open after dec 1 accepted ppl make their decisions.
hey ~ I interviewed on Nov 6 too 🙂!!!
When did you get a call for a January interview?
I was told that story too on Oct 16th hehe
Also one of my best friends just called UoP...they are 100% completely filled for interviews through February and for the class....any interviews from now on will only be for the alternate list.

Dang, this is bad news for me. For some reason, I'm still stuck with the status "file is in review" for over 10 weeks now. I guess that's just as good as a rejection from this school then. *sigh*
sigh.. 🙁 dream schools are called dream schools for a reason.. 🙄 they don't know what they've lost; UoP will be poorer for it. 😎 oh well, time to put that stock somewhere else.. c'mon UIC!! 😀👍

A friend of mine interviewed a student in 2003 with a pre-Dec. spot. The interviewer was a student at the time and the interviewee said to him something like: Yeah, I heard you guys like to party. That's why I want to go here, cause I love party schools.
My friend did a pretty decent share of partying but was shocked enough that anyone would say that at a professional school interview so in the comments section of the interview sheet, he just quoted the interviewee verbatim. Yeah, that guy didn't get in to Pacific.

So, so far we know you have to stay awake (check) and not mention your crazy partying habits (check...since i'm not a rager, lol)
I'd suggest being yourself and trying to relax. I had a great interview experience at Pacific. It was fleet week and the blue angels were flying all over the city. It was ridiculous.
I interviewed the week after...they were making fun of your interview group because Dr. Nadershahi was supposedly talking in the room with the window view of the golden gate bridge and all you guys were doing were looking at the blue angels flying above you guys and ignoring him 🙂
actually he was facing the window, which means our backs were to the window when we were facing him. he would point out good flights for us to turn and watch... would you not look out the window when a faculty suggested it??? i highly doubt the faculty at U of P would as you say "make fun of" the other interviewers but go ahead and think that if it makes you feel better
It's just a funny anecdote, learn to take a joke.
seriously, it was all humor nothing serious why so serious
I was a wee bit drunk when I posted the above post, so ignore the "why so serious" Joker quote 😛
i had been drinking as well when i posted that.... don't know why i got so defensive, nor do i know why i was posting on SDN after a night of drinking??? lo siento if i offended anyone with my seriousness!
