Imores Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Hopefully! You're super! Unless it's in your sig I can't see where you applied on my phone. Your experiences sound awesome and I hope you get in this year!
weilongli1 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Does anyone else feel like this is going to be a big week for hearing back? There are a whole bunch of new schools on the survey (Boston/SLC/Utah/Arkansas). I'm getting so nervous and I need more distractions! @hopefullygc Welcome Imores 1
gcfc1989 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Hi all! New here. I'm in the same boat as everyone, nervously waiting and refreshing my email way too often! @weilongli1, what survey are you talking about in the last post? Just this one, or is there another forum to see which schools have started contacting and which haven't? Thanks! Also, I can't figure out how to make the signature with my list of schools, so I'll just write it in: Applied: Cal State Stanislaus, Arkansas, Alabama, Michigan, Northwestern, UBC, and U of Toronto Interviewing: Michigan, Arkansas, Alabama Rejected: None (yet, knock on wood!)

weilongli1 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 @gcfc1989 If you click on your profile settings, there should be a tab for signatures! And by survey I mean the Gradcafe results survey (you can get to it from the main Gradcafe site), where people post results for their apps. In other news, just got an invitation to interview at Boston University tonight! Super excited!!!! Imores 1
gc09621 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 @gcfc1989 Welcome! When are you interviewing in Michigan? I'll be there March 17-18 @weilongli1 Congrats on Boston! Imores 1
geecee92 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 @imorse and everyone else who applied.. SLC started sending interviews! Imores 1
Imores Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 YAY Did anyone select their interview yet? I can't see anything on my application online like the email says...
gcfc1989 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 @gc09621 I'm interviewing at MI Feb. 25-26! gc09621 and Imores 2
Imores Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 @gcfc1989 Have fun! We'll be there in March but I'll also be interviewing that day, I hope we both have a great end to that week gc09621 1

I found it! After you log in, click on the link in the sentence that says "Upon submission, you can check the status of your application and materials by visiting the following page: https://apply.slc.edu/apply/status"
angetry Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Hi everyone! I'm joining in on the discussion I applied to 6 schools and have heard back from three so far--Sarah Lawrence, Pitt & UBC. Interviews at all 3, which I can't even believe, since I know how ridiculously competitive this field is! Anyways good luck to everyone and let's hope we keep hearing from more schools!!!
geecee92 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 @angetry welcome and congrats! I also just received both SLC and UBC today! The UBC date signup system was so weird though, I'm wondering if the interviews are only an hour each? :/
angetry Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 @geecee92 thanks!! congrats to you too from what I can tell in the email, the interviews are only an hour and then they have some sort of informational lunch?? however I know that U of T does a single, panel interview (where you're interviewing in front of multiple faculty members at the same time) so it's possible that UBC has a similar format!
Jello310 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) @geecee92 and @angetry, for UBC if we chose a time slot, does this mean that we can book a flight and that it is confirmed? Or should we wait? I feel so poor looking at these plane tickets :'( Edited February 10, 2016 by Jello310
angetry Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 @Jello310 I would assume it means confirmed? Or you could wait a few days until after you choose the interview date, when they send the info package!! But yeah I totally agree...flights are outrageous, especially from Toronto. Oh well, I'll think of it as a mini-vacation to the west coast (it'll be my first time & I truly cannot wait!)
Jello310 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 @angetry Thanks! I'll wait, Im from Toronto too, first time heading west. I chose the 3rd how about you?
angetry Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 @Jello310 I chose the 9th! Now time to book some overpriced flights Good luck!!!
