The ride itself was pretty short (<10 minutes), but it took the driver around 15 minutes to get to my hotel. I guess there are less drivers in the morning. Just be weary of that so you aren't late or anything!

I am not sure how do they do their interview decision process, my stats are nothing extraordinary, just IS and URM/non-trad. They did mention that they are finalizing the admissions interviews for the 2016 - 2017 application cycle.

Finalizing? As in, the only people that are going to possibly receive an interview are the people that have been complete so far?
 
What does finalizing mean? It's still so early.

My friend submitted her app in March and got an II and acceptance 2 years ago.

Like I said, I am not sure of how their process works, but that is what they said in their email. Also, things could have considerably change in 2 years.
 
Anyone offer insight into the interview process here, it's my first one. Duration? Group interviews? Tour? Food quality? Thanks

In the AM you have presentations from the admissions office and financial aid. Then people go off to their interviews and you have a lot of waiting time in the presentation room with other students. Interview is probably about 40 mins, 1 on 1 traditional. Really laid back. Then you break up into your tour groups. The tour is longer than they say it will be (at least it was for my group: ~2 hours) but it really showed how much the students love it there. Food they served - bagels, muffins, croissants, cookies, soft pretzels from a local shop.

Awesome thank you. I need to do some research still on what to expect during the interview but other than that doesn't sound too bad
 
Hey everyone!

Dw it is still very early in the cycle. I spoke to admissions just this week and they are no where near being done with giving out interviews! they have a rolling admissions process and admissions even said they were on the batch that submitted secondaries toward end of August.

Stay positive everyone 🙂

I interviewed the 13th and didnt get a call, does that mean im screwed?
 
Does anyone else have trouble reaching them by phone? I've left voicemails, but have not received a call back. I have also emailed their generic admissions email, but also no reply. Do you guys advise emailing a specific admin in the admissions department?

I have been calling too, but haven't been able to get a hold of anyone. My plan is to keep trying this week.
