Congrats!! Hope everything works out with the housing situation

I messaged you some contact info. Hope everything works out! Keep me posted

I was on the 23rd, but I think it was 9 am? Who can remember at this point lol. I'm in a similar boat, I need to find out more about financial situations and affording school. When I was having trouble with my application back in February, I called (212) 396-6049 and although the staff wasn't able to help me herself, she emailed two sw faculty members and directed them to call me. One called me right away and has actually called me a couple of times sense when I've emailed him. I emailed him directly this morning with and I'm waiting to hear back. I'll let you know if he says anything. Has your application status ever changed from "pending interview?" I think the best thing to do for yourself, especially with that deadline, is call the school directly and say If I get in I need to be able to apply for housing and that you either need to be given a hunter ID or something somehow to do so or they need to let you know your admissions status immediately. It's not fair to leave us on the backburner. I can understand they are busy, and I know the interview email situation messed them up but they're out of excuses at this point. Don't provide timelines you can't stick to.

I hit my 5 week mark this week too. I emailed them twice and heard back that they would "review my request in the next few days." That was 9 days ago.

Exactly, this could be a life altering decision. Some people have to change their jobs, living situation and that all needs to happen sooner rather than later. The interviewer even mentioned finances and how it might pose as an issue for us. People need to know how much aid they're going to get, if they need loans, maybe even working more hours now to save up. This whole issue is a poor reflection of them.

Came here to post the same thing. I interviewed on the 24th (3 weeks ago yesterday) and was told I would hear back in no more than 3 weeks. Application status still says pending interview, which I see someone else posted is normal until a decision is made. However I emailed them about that on Monday as its been concerning to me and have not received a reply. They're really starting to piss me off, don't provide timelines if you can't stick to them. I also feel so bad for the people on here that have been extending their decisions for other schools. As busy as they might be doesn't the program realize how they're affecting the future of applicants?

Well its officially been 2 weeks since my interview and my status has yet to change from "pending interview." I'm still kind of concerned about this but I don't want to bother them about it. Anyone else in the same boat?

Happy for everyone that heard back! I interviewed a week ago and my status still says "pending interview." Did this ever change for anyone else? Should I bother asking? It's making me nervous that my answers and writing sample have been overlooked because the system isn't aware that I did interview already

Hi everyone, long time lurker first time posting. I completed my group interview this morning. I submitted my application in January and it was completed on the first week of March. I switched to "pending interview" before the interview email situation happened. I was invited for my interview last night over the phone. It took about an hour, it was mostly scenario questions, as you might expect from sw job interviews. Overall not intimidating! Not sure how I feel about the writing sample.
