You all have been super helpful with all my neurotic stressball-ness, I am consulting the SLP hivemind once more:
As I posted yesterday, I have an interview for Loyola's foundation program on the 18th of this month. I am excited--except that I live in Southern California and a flight out to Maryland is over 700 hundred dollars, which is just slightly less than what I make in a month. The interviews are only about 20 minutes long and it seems like a lot of money to spend for a short amount of time and without guaranteed admission.
However, I did e-mail and ask if they would consider a phone/Skype interview. They said that, due to the large volume of candidates, they are not granting phone interviews. I don't want to jeopardize my chances, but as I stated above, that is a LOT of money to be spending, not to mention that I have no guarantee of getting in.
Help?
