Congrats! I was also quite nervous and I really wish I'd calmed my nerves sooner as it wasn't half as intimidating as I'd expected. The facilitator did her best to move us away from a competitive mindset, and that definitely helped. I was quite surprised about how personal the questions were. Think along the lines of: Why social work vs. other professions (for you), how your personal identity affects your work (referring to any volunteer or professional client-based work seemed fine), areas of today's world that would benefit from social work intervention. I really got the feeling that the interviewer wanted to get to know us as individuals, which I really appreciated, so focus on being authentic. Last bit of advice would be: don't "arrive" too early and awkwardly stare at your fellow interviewees while your nerves ramp up. Be on time and get going! Hope this helps a bit. I'm still awaiting a decision myself so hopefully this advice is sound!

I feel kind of silly asking this, but if an acceptance/deposit deadline is written "decide by April 22nd", does that include April 22nd itself? I understand deadlines to conventionally include that last day, but I don't want to mess up! I'm trying to delay paying until the last min if possible as I was told I'd have another uni's decision by tomorrow.

I emailed them and they apologized for the delay and offered interview dates! Huzzah! Also, congrats on your acceptance! ?

Is anyone here still awaiting their interview? I've been at 'Pending Interview' for a few weeks now but haven't received an invitation to schedule anything. Quite strange. I did contact them via the online chat but didn't receive any reply or follow-up (you enter your email address). Will probably email them if I don't hear anything this week ?

Me! Still at submitted with no changes since application completion. I actually reached out on Monday via the instant/live chat on the website to follow up from the erroneously email situation on the 16th and to find out when I should expect a decision. The person told me that I would get an invite to interview this week, but so far nothing. How late is too late on a Friday night?! ?

Hello! I'm just wondering if many have heard back from UT yet. This thread/topic is very quiet! I submitted my application for Jan 15th deadline and have been in the review stage for several weeks now. So. Much. Waiting.

I'm in a very similar position. Submitted early February and my status has been 'submitted' ever since. Got the erroneous email the other day and attempted to choose an interview slot, then emailed them back letting them know that there weren't any available. Feeling a little frustrated that they haven't sent out a mass email letting us all know about the error. Without the info on this thread, I'd still be in the dark on the whole thing. Ah well, fingers crossed we hear something soon!
