General Admissions & OTCAS Who have you heard back from? 2018-2019 cycle

[nvrmuchluvwenwegoOT]

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?

Hey! I was wondering when you applied to AT Still and when you got the interview notice?

 

[msnyd94]

How was the Creighton interview?? I have one with them in a few months!

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.

 

[aspiringot96]

Hey! I was wondering when you applied to AT Still and when you got the interview notice?

Hello! My app was verified 10/6-7 because I applied to a diff school first. I applied to AT still 10/8 and heard back 10/29!
