jmjslpca Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 The timeline on their website says "Applicants selected for Interview are notified in late January". Just wondering if anyone has heard anything yet?
jmjslpca Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Woohooo!! Just got an email inviting me to interview on February 13! Anyone else?
futurespeechie Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Also got an invitation to interview on Feb 13 I'm both nervous and excited!
SkylerN Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I got an invitation to interview also So excited!
jmjslpca Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 Awesome! The email sounded to me like it might be a group interview. Did either of you get that impression? Are you both local? I live in Riverside, so I'm pretty close to campus.
futurespeechie Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Awesome! The email sounded to me like it might be a group interview. Did either of you get that impression? Are you both local? I live in Riverside, so I'm pretty close to campus. I didn't really get an impression of whether it's individual or group. What time are your interviews at? Mine is from 11:00-11:45am. And nope I'm not local, I'm coming from norcal but I'll be staying in Riverside while I'm there for the weekend.
jmjslpca Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 My writing time is 9:50-10:50 and my interview is 11:00-11:45.
futurespeechie Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 My writing time is 9:50-10:50 and my interview is 11:00-11:45. Yeah ok those are my times too! So I'm guessing that means it's a group interview.
SkylerN Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 My writing time is 11:40-12:40 and my interview is from 1-1:45. I'm really hoping that it isn't a group interview. Has anyone requested more information? I'm assuming we will be updated as they didn't give directions to a specific building or anything.
jmjslpca Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Since they didn't give any directions in the interview invitation email, I assume they will send a follow-up email to all those who sent an acceptance. In my email reply to the interview invitation, I just said, "I look forward to receiving further instructions regarding where to report for my interview." I hope they will provide more information regarding the process, but I didn't specifically ask for additional information.
jmjslpca Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 I just received an email with directions to the interview location. Getting excited to get this show on the road!
jmjslpca Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 What did you guys think of the interview? I felt very confident about the essay, but the group interview really threw me. I think I worked well with my group, but the interviewers didn't write anything down while we were there. How do you think they will be using those interviews to make decisions?
futurespeechie Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I'm actually the opposite! I don't feel too good about my essay.. I had major writer's block and couldn't focus with the sound of everyone typing at the same time. I enjoyed the group interview though since my group was fun to interact with, but I'm not sure exactly what the interviewers were looking for. My guess is probably just looking at your interpersonal, teamwork & problem-solving skills. I am sure you did fine!
jmjslpca Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 I really enjoyed working with my group too & actually thought it was kind of fun, but I am disappointed that the interviewers didn't actually ask me any questions individually. Futurespeechie...I wonder if we were in the same group. Who were your interviewers? I interviewed with Terry Douglas (dept chair) and Janine Benner.
futurespeechie Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Nope I had different interviewers so we weren't in the same group. Yeah I'm surprised they didn't ask individual questions, but I've heard that interviews in general are looking more at your interpersonal skills and not so much the answers to questions, so maybe they figured that individual questions aren't necessary since they can learn about your experiences and background through your application file.
jmjslpca Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 I just saw on the results page that someone received an email yesterday indicating that they were waitlisted! That means we should all be hearing something soon!!!
futurespeechie Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks for the heads up! I'm so anxious to hear back!!
jmjslpca Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Me too!!! I emailed Diana today to ask whether we can expect to be notified via email or usps. She said "You will receive a letter from admissions..late this week or early next week" Edited March 3, 2015 by jmjslpca futurespeechie 1
jmjslpca Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Still no word. Makes me wonder if the person that posted the waitlisted result was just messing with us...It seems odd that there would only be one person who has received a decision.
futurespeechie Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Hmm well looking at the postings from previous years it seems like not many people posted in general about their results so maybe it's that. But Diana said either late this week or early next week right? I'm sure it's coming soon! jmjslpca 1
futurespeechie Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Haha I feel you! The days feel like they're passing by soo slowly. I just want to know already!!
futurespeechie Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Someone posted an acceptance result today!! I haven't received anything in the mail yet so now I'm feeling super antsy!
jmjslpca Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 I know!! I see 2 acceptance results posted. I didn't get anything in the mail today either. I really hope that doesn't mean bad news. I have never wished so much that the postal service delivered on Sunday! futurespeechie 1
jmjslpca Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Now 3 people have posted an acceptance. I live 20 miles (or less) from LLU, so I'm starting to think that if I was going to get a letter, I should have received it by now. I guess we'll see what tomorrow's mail holds...
