Thank you so much, you are so kind! I will see you soon Have you interviewed at Utah before? I would love to hear your advice and will reach out soon. Thanks again!

Hey everyone! I received my rejection from Stanislaus, so they may be starting to send them out! I am also waiting to hear from UCI This is my first time applying. I received one interview invite for Utah! Anyone else going to be there on April 3rd or earlier? Does anyone know how many people programs typically interview? I am very grateful to interview there, but also scared since it was the only one I received. But who knows, it can just take one! I have a question for second and third time applicants, what did you do to improve your application? What jobs did you apply for? What did you do differently the second or third time around? Any advice? Sorry if this was already talked about, I am just trying to get ideas about the future just in case I apply for the next cycle. This forum has been so helpful. Thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts! I wish you all the best of luck on your interviews and future endeavors!!

That's awesome! Congrats!! Did they send the email through the CSU student email account? Fingers crossed that I will hear from them too! Ah so nervous

me too! I am trying so hard not to freak out just yet. do they normally send them out in waves throughout the day?

I am literally in the same boat and situation as you. I have received 3 rejections, 1 interview offer, and am waiting to hear from 3 more schools. The GRE is the only thing that I don't believe is stellar on my application. Besides that, I have about 2 years of crisis counseling experience, have a history of community service at hospitals, rehab/care centers, etc. I have volunteered with an organization who supports individuals with metabolic disorders for 9 years. I also have interviewed and shadowed multiple GCs, and have volunteered in their clinic at one of the best cancer centers in California. Receiving rejections has been hard, I truly thought that I would get many interviews based on my grades and experience. At first, I was like how can my GRE score bring everything down? I have been told that its not everything, but who knows what they are exactly looking for. There are sooooo many different components of the application that they are looking at, as you know! A GC told me that every program is unique and many qualified individuals get turned away each year. Each year they are looking for something different. I have interviewed about three GCs that didn't get in the first or even second time and they are phenomenal GCs now. My best advice to you, is to stay strong and don't feel defeated. You have an interview and thats amazing! Think about it, you passed many different admission screening processes to get that interview. They know you are qualified to be a GC on paper, now its time to meet you and see if you are a fit for the program, as well as, the program being a fit for you! So prepare well for your interview. It only takes one interview to get in. I have friends who applied to like 13 grad programs, only got one interview, and were accepted! I totally understand how you are feeling, If you ever want to talk feel free to message me. I hope you have an awesome day!
