kiran.khialani Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 And an email too. Be sure to check your promotions folders as well. Mine popped up in that.
Yancey Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I have been struggling with this as well, but like you said, it is very short notice for booking a flight and hotel less than 2 weeks out. Flights in particular get way more expensive once you pass the 2 week mark. Right now the only flight option even showing up for me is $1656 (I think I laughed out loud at that one). I hope that they will understand this and give Skype interviewees equal consideration. I applied last year to programs on the East Coast that required interviews and I lived on the West Coast. I was not able to go to any of them and did Skype for three. It went well and they do give you equal consideration. Just practice getting comfortable with Skype (like looking professional and trying to have eye contact which is difficult if you're looking at the screen versus camera). If you practice Skyping and get comfortable your personality will come through which is the benefit if meeting someone anyways.Â

I am thinking the key is to practice the Skype thing so it's not quite as awkward during the real thing.
dc2bslp Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I just spoke with admissions - there is no disadvantage to Skype, unless you feel you will interview differently than in person. Â The only other disadvantage is that you don't get to tour the campus, speak with current students, etc. Â Hope this helps! I'm still deciding myself.
Chandru1 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Who else still has not gotten an interview yet? I'm trying to breathe and hoping that I'll get one tomorrow...
phaedra Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I also received an interview invite. Just adding my stats (see signature) for those asking.
kristinox Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Who else still has not gotten an interview yet? I'm trying to breathe and hoping that I'll get one tomorrow... I haven't either. I've been checking constantly all week. I just wish they would update something on the portal, even if it is rejected. Best of luck to you.

ba23 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Has anyone heard anything about what this interview is like? I know it's only 15 minutes so I'm assuming it will be general questions just trying to get to know us better.
kristinox Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Ok, my portal still is not updated. I am assuming this means I won't get an interview. Does anyone know if they only have 1 interview weekend or if there is another round of interviews?

Does anyone know if they only have 1 interview weekend or if there is another round of interviews? Â Â The email I got states that all interviews will take place the 20th-22nd, so there's only one interview weekend.

Getmeintogradschool Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I'm getting nervous about the snow expected Saturday.. Hopefully it will be nothing to worry about
neucool Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 It looks pretty mild. Doubt it will be cancel-worthy
kneuber1 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Haven't received any email or portal update at all either. Guess this means I can forget about Emerson.Â
Chandru1 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 There is someone who said a few pages ago or on a different thread that they may waitlist us.
fkg5005 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 To those who had an interview today, how was it? I have an interview tomorrow as long as the snow doesn't stop me.Â
kiran.khialani Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Hi. I had my interview yesterday. It's all very general, trying to get to know you. They were extremely nice so there's nothing for you to worry about. :-)

onedayslp Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Anyone more feedback about Emerson interviews?
dc2bslp Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I just did my interview over Skype - it was only 12 minutes long! You are asked 3 questions up front, then you have a chance to ask a couple questions. It went by so fast! Good luck everyone!
kiran.khialani Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Questions basically to see how ready you are for Grad school. Good luck
onedayslp Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Did anyone happen to ask during their interview about when we can expect to hear back?Â
Getmeintogradschool Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Totally forgot when I was in the interview.. but I looked back through the results from last year and it looks like the end of the first week of March is the earliest and the rest follow the next couple weeks after that.Â
kiran.khialani Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I did. But they said April which I'm assuming is the end of the rolling procedure. I agree, last year's shows March sometime, 2nd week or so
