WHY ALL THE CAPS, SIR?

Hey there. I know the feeling! I'll be there for the Accepted Students Day on April 5th!

This is the single most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Do you think are calling everyone today? Or they will continue calling on Monday? They are one of my top choices, and waiting to hear is super nerve-wracking!

Congrats to you both!! That is huge that you have been accepted, so you should feel super proud of yourselves! Celebrate it this weekend ?

Agreed! Please keep us updated if you hear anything! I'm waiting to hear back from MGH and Emerson, but so far I have heard nothing (aside from Emerson's interview).

At my last interview, I wore a blazer but kept it open-- I felt like it would be too formal to wear it closed. Most people were wearing nice pants and a nice top, some with blazers and some without. I think as long as you look professional, you're fine! Hope this helps.

That is very helpful! Thank you so much!

Hi @Arcanelady27! I saw that you have applied to Lehman College. Do you have any experience with the interviews there?

Has anyone heard anything about the Lehman interviews?

https://globalsearch.cuny.edu/CFGlobalSearchTool/search.jsp You can search all of the CUNYs for online foundational education courses- looks like Hunter has a few this summer! You will probably have even more options if you decide to take the course earlier. Hope this helps!

Is anyone else interviewing at CUNY Lehman College? I have an interview with them on Friday. Does anyone know anything about what to expect? What kinds of questions to prepare for? Is there a writing element to the interview?

what kind of education course do you need? Also, if it's for the TSSLD, would it need to be done through a New York school?

Temple sent out some acceptances last week and then again today! It looks like they're doing it in waves. Hope that helps!

I think the questions depend tremendously on the school. I would search the school on here and see if you can find any advice from previous applicants. Which school are you interviewing for on Friday? I have one that day as well!

I had my interview with two professors and emailed them a "thank you" separately.

Thank you!! I definitely have that part down! Do you know when they'll get back to us with decisions?

Thanks, @Procaffeination! I'm dreading giving the "tell me about yourself" pitch which I'm assuming I'll have to give-- is that one of the questions they ended up giving you? Thanks for the heads up-- sounds like it'll be a lot of thinking on our feet! I have mine tomorrow.

Hi all! Is anyone bringing anything to their interviews this week? Resume/CV, Statement of Purpose, anything? I assume they are doing the interviews back-to-back, so I would think they wouldn't have just read our SOPs? Should I go into the interview thinking they know nothing about me before I walk into the room?

Hi Lnk17! I'm not sure if you're talking about the online or residential program, but I know the interviews for the residential program is this weekend. People have said that in past years a small portion of people are accepted without interviewing, but I think that's rare. Hope this information helps!

Congrats, @sarah189! I'm so glad!

I am so glad I am not alone. The application process was certainly not fun, but I never anticipated the extent of anxiety I'd be going through during this waiting! I know most schools I've applied to haven't sent any acceptances out until the beginning of March, so the obsessive checking is totally irrational and unnecessary, but I'm still doing it! Today I got an email from one of the schools I applied to with the subject "[University] Admissions", and I didn't know why I'd be hearing a month earlier than expected, but my heart started pounding anyway. Turns out it was just a generic email thanking me for my interest in the school, whether or not I'd applied. I didn't know whether to feel relieved or disappointed!! The waiting game is definitely going to be long and difficult. Does anyone have any tips for waiting it out? What do you do instead of checking for any news? What does everyone do for fun or to de-stress?

I believe they had an earlier deadline last year, so that is why people heard back much earlier than they are this year.

Thanks, @ubercool-RA! I see you listed the interview as taking place on 2/23. How do you know which of your preferred times they selected? Did they send you back a specific time? I requested times on 2/24, but I haven't heard back yet.

Congrats! I just heard from Emerson as well! I have heard that it doesn't hurt your chances at all if you use Skype! Also, in the past people have said Emerson's interviews are only 5 to 10 minutes-- I don't know if that's still the case, but if so, Skype definitely would make sense. Does anyone know what kinds of questions they will ask during the interview?
