not everyone interviews. We still don't know how they determine who interviews and who doesn't.

Hey everyone! A final decision was posted on my portal yesterday but I just saw it. I WAS ACCEPTED TO HUNTER. I can't believe it was so quick. I had my interview on Tuesday and they posted the decision yesterday. Now I have 3 weeks to accept or decline. I have a tough job this weekend deciding between Lehman and Hunter. Go and check your portals and see if you have gotten any decisions!.

Good luck to all!

Congrats that was fast, since they told you 2 weeks.

totally. i noticed that the interview thing is all over the board, but i am still baffled by Hunter's process here. What is the method to their madness? And why update an application to "PENDING PROGRAM DECISION"...isn't that implied, haha

I honestly can't remember what it said, or if it said anything at all. I wish I'd taken a screenshot before!

Hey! Are you sure it was the last day? When I contacted admissions, they told me that they were sending out more invitations to interview this week (since I have moved to "pending interview").

First i want to apologize if my comment was confusing or made anyone nervous. SO i had a group interview for the OYR Clinical track. The school kept sending me emails saying i have to schedule my interview because they want to finalize their 2021 fall class. I contacted the school and they said after you do your interview you may still get emails because a decision wasnt put on your application as its a glitch. I knew there was a interview yesterday from 530-730. When i clicked the link to schedule an interview today it says this even is closed now. Not everyone is required to interview. Many people get in without interviews. This can also be a first round of interviews for people who applied before a certain date. I applied back in december 2020 because im working remotely and i wanted to make sure i get my documents in early. If you look at last years thread people were getting interviews in late spring/ early summer. I dont want to scare anyone and make them believe they didnt get in. But i think a bulk of decisions will come out on Monday because my wife works in graduate admissions at a NYC private university and she is releasing hers monday 3/15/21. Hunter is a city school and they may do things differently. Also many people who were admitted has about 2 weeks to decisde also people who decline their offer im sure those spots will be offered to others in 2 weeks. Sorry for the confusion.

Check your emails! Got invited to interview this Tuesday -- hope all goes well!

[Catlady23]

That means you’ll either get accepted or denied with no interview. Some people get accepted without an interview which makes the status jump straight to final decision. Hope you get in! 
 

edit: sorry just realized people had responded to you already

Hey all,

Congrats to all of you who have gotten good news recently! 

My portal still shows my status as "submitted." I submitted 1/25 and got the "completed" notification on 2/17. Is anyone else in this position, and if so, have you had any successful communication with the school?

Yes. My application has been submitted since 1/31 and completed 2/22 after I emailed them. They said my application is ready for review, but will take some time since I have submitted my application close to the due date.

Hi everyone, I have my interview this week. Can someone tell me how the zoom link shows up? Will it come in a new email from eventbrite? The "ticket" from eventbrite doesn't have a zoom link. or I'm missing it. Thanks. Congrats and Good luck!

Hi! the confirmation from eventbrite do not include the zoom link. They will send you a separate email with the zoom link when all spots have been taken from your interview date. In my case, they sent me the email 30 min before the interview. Don't stress. It will come.

Thanks.  My nerves are shot! One more question. Were you required to complete the writing portion immediately after the interview?

No. They give you a deadline. My deadline was until midnight of that day. My interview was at 3 pm. But they warn you: you can start the writing sample whenever you want after the interview. However, once you have started it, the clock starts ticking and you have 90 min to deliver it. I started the writing sample around 6:30 and was done a little before 8 pm.

Me, too. I submitted on 2/2 (they'd extended the deadline), completed 2/10 (after chatting with admissions), still submitted. My last chat, on Thurs or Fri, they said it takes approx. 6 weeks, so for me, that would be tomorrow. I think there's a very good chance many of us will hear this week. Fingers crossed...

Mine updated to "pending program decision" over the weekend, so I guess I've avoided the interview. Fingers crossed, indeed.

Hey everyone , first and foremost Congratulations to all that have been accepted and good luck to all that are waiting ... Question when is the best time to contact the online chat? It keeps saying off line but hours are Monday through Thursday. I submitted my application for the OYR program in Feb but it’s still saying application submitted but not complete, however everything was submitted including all supporting documents.
