To all you gals, did you guys take a purse or bag with you or did you go empty handed?

You're able to leave all your belongings on the table that's outside the interview rooms. The students there will be able to watch them. Everyone gets a WesternU bag, so you don't have to bring a purse if you don't want. There were people who brought purses.
 
You leave your items when you go into each interview room. But you can take purses during everything else. Yes, I asked about their research and some questions about the program 🙂

Also did anyone ask questions to the person interviewing them after they were interviewed ? Or should we?

If you have time! The 15 mins per interview flew by I felt like. I had maybe 3-4ish minutes at the end to ask a question and my interviewer was unfortunately unable to finish his answer because they pull you outta there right at times up (understandable so its fair for everyone) but don't worry there are lots of opportunities to ask questions about everything. You're with a student all day and they are super helpful and you'll get the opportunity to talk to staff as well!

Lastly does anyone know how soon after the interview do they inform you of your status? Accepted, waitlisted or rejected.

Thank you

I had my purse. They let you leave it with the other bags in the lobby and they will watch them foe you (your choice of coarse)

And always ask questions! I did during my interview slots. You get the most out of your visit by doing so. Hopefully this was helpful 🙂

I took a purse!!! Cross body. With a small notebook inside. Also I didn’t have any time to ask the interviewers questions because they had so many follow up questions for me
 
Hey peeps! It was my second time interviewing (I was an alternate last year). Do you think that gives me any advantage? I want to go to this school more than anything! One of my interviewers said he had to ask me a specific question in order to recommend me so I think that’s a good sign? So nervous!!

Same boat! I was an alternate last year as well and I LOVE the school! Good luck to you!!
 
Are we notified of acceptances by phone or email? I was told we would be receiving a call but a friend believes it is by email. Thanks!
 
Will we be hearing back with regards to our acceptance/rejection/waitlist by Dec 15th? Or will it be later since we had some late interviews this year

How many total people do you guys think will be accepted? Online it says that the sitting class is 105, but has anyone asked about just accepted students? :O
 
I'm guessing they'll accept more than 105 since many will deny their acceptance. I think last year they also chose like 70 alternates? Don't quote me on that.. I might be wrong.
 
Last year, Western sent acceptances on December 16th. If they follow the same trend, we should find out sometime today.

I'm thinking it'll be Friday. That way they can send out decisions and then leave for the weekend. I'm sure they'd have phone lines FULL of students after sending the decisions if they didn't. This way, people have a chance to let it sink in and do their own research before contacting the school after the holiday.

...This is what I'm telling myself anyway. Makes the wait slightly more bearable when there's an actual date!

I really hope it's Friday! I am a nervous wreck just waiting especially because I just finished finals so I have nothing else to think about! At least my other schools won't let me know until January so its only Western that should be out soon... Good luck to everyone!!!
