Interview invites are usually sent out on a weekly basis for each interview date. For example the invites for interviews on 1/25 were sent out today. Interviews go through February so there are still many invites that haven’t been sent out yet!
Darn it! I’ll be at nbc that day. I would have liked to meet my manatee. 🙁
WOOOOOO GO GREBES
It’s pretty chill. Over the past few years they’ve occillated between one interviewer or two. Mostly it’s just a discussion. The interviewers are usually very personable and easy to talk to.
May I ask you the interview date? Just curious😉
Someone previously said that in years past, they’ve generally had one day towards the end of interviews that they try to have most large animal people interview on because they go out to the new Bolton center and tour that.
No, just one day for large animal people, so they can go see New Bolton, like ski said. They can’t fit all large animal people in that day though, so some get interviewed on other days too.
So after the interview you can be accepted, denied or put “on hold” which basically means they can’t make a decision right away. From what I understand is that they review those on hold with each of the remaining interview groups. So you could potentially hear back after any of the next interview dates or may not hear until after all of the interviews are over. I don’t have personal experience with this or know what the chances are though, but maybe someone else on here does?
This is also my understanding. Some people heard back the following week. I'm not sure of the chances of being accepted after being put on hold, but people definitely do. I wouldn't count yourself out yet.
Nope! I believe they still have invites for 3 more interview dates to send out
You aren't rejected until you get a rejection letter.
Thanks! That makes me feel so much better! I still haven’t heard anything from penn and the waiting is killing me haha
Ditto!!! Ah, hang in there. Hoping for the best for you!!!
It's not over until it's over!! I'm in the same boat as you with waiting, but since we don't know the official last date of interviews we don't know if they've stopped sending out invitations! It's tough to keep positive about this of course, but we've done all we can and now we just wait🙂
Honestly I have no idea! Every time I tried to look up specific dates for interviews I never found anything, I just knew that they go partway through February so I'm winging it
I can't say 100% for sure, but I believe once you've been offered an interview, they already know the other aspects are good enough to offer you a spot, so it's mostly the interview that point.
I had the first Friday (Jan 12) and My one interviewer called me Monday after to tell me the decision. I haven’t heard anything since and they said official remarks go out like two weeks post and depending on who interviewed you, informal notices can go out earlier. I hope that helps!
