I haven’t! But it’s probably because of the mistake I made on my end. I barely sent them my supporting documents through mail two weeks ago because I uploaded them online instead since Charles the admission counselor said it was fine. So I have yet to hear back from them, even though I got verified 10/4.

How about you?

I have not heard back from them except for getting a confirmation after submitting the application. Do you know if they do interviews?

It went really well! The admissions people are awesome and the faculty is top notch. The interview itself was pretty laid back. They really sold me on the program.

Hi! I was in the afternoon group. I think it went well. They made it so easy to feel comfortable. I loved meeting the current students, too. I think all of the applicants in my group were great. I'll be excited to hear back about decisions in a few weeks.
 
Have any of you applied to or heard back from University of the Sciences yet?

Have either of you had an interview at North Central yet? Or Lewis? I applied to both in October and haven't heard anything back yet! I know Lewis said they won't make decisions until March but I wasn't sure about North Central.

I think I submitted my app too late to be contacted about that first round of interviews, so I am hoping I get an email soon!! I haven't heard back from either school yet 🙁 But how was the interview? What kind of questions did they ask?
