So, I interviewed at UCLA for their post match spot yesterday...
Freymiller told us there were 70 apps for the one spot and they interviewed 7 of us. One of the guys there said he was interviewing at Penn tomorrow, so I guess when I heard they had filled the spot...it must have just been a rumor.
Well, they called and offered the spot to me which I of course accepted. So I guess UCLA is off the market (unless they realize their terrible mistake 😉 ).
Post match scramble is pretty crazy and hectic. I didn't even apply this year in the cycle. I was gearing up to give it a go this summer and I saw the spot at the school I wanted anyway, so I jumped on it and it all worked out. I didn't have letters or anything prepared. I didn't consider post-match...I just assumed it would be the undesireable programs. But I was able to get everything in by Wednesday last week and got the interview. I am still in a state of shock 😱 over this whole thing.
