mridgeway Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Hey all- has anyone received notice either way re: the GSSA positions at Michigan? The application said interviews would be offered mid-February, and the position offers extended in mid-March. I'm under the assumption if I haven't heard by now, then I won't be invited to interview. I plan to call next week to check in, but thought I'd post here as well.
U-M_Detroiter Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Im wondering the same thing! I emailed about it several days ago but haven't heard anything back yet.
U-M_Detroiter Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I did receive an email late December/early January informing me that they received my application, and that they would let me know soon about their decision.
mridgeway Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 I did receive an email late December/early January informing me that they received my application, and that they would let me know soon about their decision. I received that as well! The only correspondence. I likely won't reach out until Wednesday but I'm going to call rather than email and see if that gets a faster response. I'm pretty close to making a decision, but this and the special program I applied to would def. affect my final choice.

mridgeway Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 That is probably a better idea. Mind posting their response? Not at all- as long as you don't mind waiting until Wednesday! (I have a weekend long work event through Tuesday so doubt I'll have the time to call during business hours until then. I'm on the west coast).
mridgeway Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Well, I didn't get a hold of Erin Zimmer, but the person who answered the general number (I think a student?) said they had not offered interviews yet. She didn't have a timeline, but she thought it would be soon. So- good to know!
jarenolds Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I just heard from one of the special programs that I applied to yesterday. I got invited to an interview next week. Hopefully it means they are starting to get back to people. I haven't heard anything else about financial aid and was accepted almost a month and a half ago.
mridgeway Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Good to know! I've heard from financial aid (pretty solid offer), but nothing from the CW Scholarship program or GSSA. It seems like you and I are in the same boat with similar schools, etc.
U-M_Detroiter Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I've only heard from fin aid from the SSW, not the university yet. Thanks for posting their response!
U-M_Detroiter Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Just received an invitation to interview for a GSSA position!
JTexas Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Just received an invitation to interview for a GSSA position! Congratulations! Did you apply for the recruiting & admissions or career services GSSA? I was invited to interview for recruiting & admissions.
U-M_Detroiter Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I applied to both, and I believe I'm interviewing for Career Services. Good luck to you!
JTexas Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I applied to both, and I believe I'm interviewing for Career Services. Good luck to you! Thank you--best of luck to you as well!
mridgeway Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 Congrats to you both! I haven't been on this forum much at all in the past two weeks, so I thought I'd update. I'm also interviewing for the position in admissions, and I'm getting pretty excited about UMich as an option (even outside of the position). Best of luck!
U-M_Detroiter Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 When will you be interviewing? Mine is tomorrow!
U-M_Detroiter Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Has everyone interviewed? I was told that we would be hearing relatively soon about their decision!
JTexas Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Has everyone interviewed? I was told that we would be hearing relatively soon about their decision! I've interviewed, but I haven't heard back.
mridgeway Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 I interviewed last week as well. I believe they were finishing interviews this week, so I would assume we will know soon! I can't imagine it taking a long time to release the decision once all of the interviews are concluded.
U-M_Detroiter Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I asked my recommenders to let me know if/when they call. The wait is killing me (not as bad as waiting for admission). I interviewed for the career services GSSA, and I really liked the woman who interviewed me. It would be awesome to get to work for her.

I interviewed for the career services GSSA, and I really liked the woman who interviewed me. It would be awesome to get to work for her. I'm having such a different reaction- at this point, I don't mind the wait at all. Maybe because it's because I know we'll hear soon? (Although we did interview for different offices; no idea if Career Services and Admissions have different timelines). I'm really just glad we're at the very end of this whole process, finally.
U-M_Detroiter Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 It is nice being towards the end of the process. What is your concentration if you don't mind me asking?

I wish I could be that calm about it, mridgeway. I just want to know asap so I can figure out the next step either way! Best of luck to you--we should know by tomorrow, right?

Best of luck to you--we should know by tomorrow, right? Thanks! Best of luck to you as well! I'm not planing to hear by tomorrow- I know they still had a couple interviews scheduled for early this week. I think next week is a realistic guess, especially if they are checking references.
U-M_Detroiter Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I "attended" the virtual open house, and they said that they were finalizing decisions and notices would follow soon after. I'm guessing sometime next week.
