Just got rejected via email ... 2/21 ~450p
I'm IS.
Best of luck everyone!
I am so sorry, pdjy. I really wish you the best of luck for the rest of the cycle.
Thank you very much mooshagen ... really!
Fortunately, I have some OOS options.
To everyone invited to interview, crush your interview!!
Thanks for the support. I'm a not-trad in LA, too. Have we met??
How did they explain this series of events to you? Or did they not even try?
I don't think so ... nice to meet you!
They said a couple spots opened up because some people cancelled their interviews. Kind of weird that I got rejected pretty much before everyone else. I don't care!! It's awesome, I'm excited, I hope it goes well. ...because getting rejected twice in the same year would be messed up!
Finally I can stop checking my email every minute of every day. FTB- maybe we will be classmates at Western
Can any current Davis students provide some insight on proper interview attire for the guys? Specifically regarding the need to wear a jacket or not. I was planning on not wearing a full suit, only a nice shirt, tie and suit pants. After all, we're in California. It gets hot. I want to be comfortable for the interview and feel overdressed in a full suit. Am I making a mistake adhering to this perspective? Thanks.
I'd say that most of the guys I've seen heading to their interview are wearing a full suit and tie. I don't think it would be a terrible mistake to not wear a jacket as long as you were dressed professionally. It's not like you plan on showing up in jeans and a t-shirt from your favorite band.
Perhaps a compromise would be to bring the jacket with you and wear it when you enter and greet the interviewers and then take it off and hang it on the back of your chair.
Thanks, Sharon. Of course I went out and bought a nice outfit with dark blue pants, as I felt that black was too formal. Yet all of my suit jackets are black. Decisions, decisions... I really don't want to have to go out and buy another jacket.
Go buy black pants instead
Black pants + black jacket + black shoes = wedding or funeral, no?
I saw tons of guys in black suits. Maybe wear a blue or green shirt underneath and then it wouldn't look wedding or funeral-ish at all?? In my opinion at least? I know what you mean about black though. I went with grey to try and be "different"... unfortunately I ended up as part of the majority since all us smart pre-vetters think the same!
I just thought black pants would be the cheaper route lol... I'm cheap!
I'd agree with Sharon - the guys do tend to be in full suits.
Teach yourself to sew??
100% consensus from guys on our facebook that you should wear a full suit. My interviewers were also in full suits if that helps with your decision....
I'm assuming some people have already done interviews! How did it go? Or are you not telling
Watching the video now.... it makes me SO happy that I'll be up there Friday! I'm so in love
I can't wait until my interview so I can stop posting on this godforsaken site.
Hahaha. You'll probably still be here.
How did interviews go today?!
Interview in less than 12 hours and I'm like this
me: "I want to wear the pink shirt"
bf: "then wear the pink shirt...."
me: "are you sure it's not too frilly?"
bf: "not when you button the top button of your jacket."
me: "WHY DO YOU HATE ME???!!!"
cue hysterical tears and hair-pulling. I'm gonna be glad when this is all over...I hope. Plus, going to see the Secret World of Arietty after I'm done. Treat yo' self!
HAHAHA!!! Something I would totally be doing. Are you wearing a full suit?
I just had my interview this morning . I think it went okay. It helped me that one of the Doctors on the panel knew one of my LOR writers from school (he giggled a little about their shenanigans). I was surprised how many ethical questions they threw my way! It seemed like every question ended with an ethical dilemma. It was pretty chill though. I know I'm going to think over those questions a hundred thousand times before the end of March actually gets here.
I was really impressed with my mentor as well. She was really nice and showed me to the interview room and then I ate some lunch with her and some other c/o 2015 students. They were so friendly and funny, it made me feel like I belonged . They were able to answer a lot of my questions. I'm so glad I got a mentor.
Really hope we all get some good news . Especially August...but not really. Mostly me.
