Ellaie Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 3 minutes ago, Blizzard said: That is a little different. When did they give you, if you don't mind my asking? End of this month? Or March? I just got back to my computer and it looks like you are #2 to get the call today. So they must be making them today. I wish I had your problem of applying to too many! April 7th. It was a really short phone call. They were like we'd like to invite you for an interview how does April 7th sound. I just agreed because I figure that's enough time for me to try to make it work. I applied to so many because last year I applied to 7 and only got 1 interview. I didn't want to be in the same predicament again and have to go through this process for a third year in a row. I did some things to improve my resume and dramatically improved my personal statement. I guess it worked, but I had no way of knowing that before applying to schools. Probably cost myself $1000 more than I had to. I have four different transcripts, so that made things pretty pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met someone at my Emory interview that had already interviewed at OSU in January- they must do several waves, which could explain their particularity about scheduling. Were they part of this forum? Or an additional person who got interviewed? I know they send in waves, and timeline wise this seems like it would be around the final wave.

That would make sense about them doing it in waves. With my 2.87 overall GPA, I think schools are a little apprehensive to interview me, so it makes sense that I would be one of the later people to get invited.

She was one of the other candidates who interviewed with me the day I interviewed at Emory. I asked if it was everyone's first GC programs interview, and she said that she had interviewed at OSU already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my recommendation letter writers couldn't figure out how to submit the letter to UCI. I contacted the program and they allowed her to just email them the letter instead of using the online submission website. Maybe since there's so much confusion OSU would let you just have your professor email the letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I just called Cincinnati. She told me all the letters for interviews have gone out. But rejection letters won't be sent for a couple weeks. So everyone else waiting, bad news: Your interview is not coming. She looked me up in the spreadsheet and i've been rejected. That one stings. That's the one i wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepSwimming2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Does anyone know if Sarah Lawrence is still sending out interview requests? I haven't heard anything back from them at all. I didn't realize that our financial aid info needed to be in there as well so I just input that info, but I'm not sure if they were reviewing applications without the financial info or not...

Oh well - hopefully we each have something else work out!! Chin up, head high and ace the interviews we do have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of schools where the website shows a letter missing, but I contacted them directly and they confirmed the letters were in. I would say check with the school and see if he can email it directly to someone at the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just emailed again to ask if he can initiate the email, since I don't know if he's not receiving them or what. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most schools email, but there are a few that send out phone calls or letters. I wish they just emailed too. I appreciate the time they put into making phone calls, but it made me feel like I was put on the spot. Having things in emails gives me time to check my calendar and think about how I want to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JN212 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I had a question if anyone has any advice. I just received an email from Indiana State ( who originally rejected me ) offering spots in 2 alternative programs (one is a masters program the other a certificate) that have the same related courses as to genetic counseling that they said could be beneficial and help next time I apply. I was wondering if anyone else received something like this or if it is just a ploy to get more money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn the tables and ask if any of the courses transfer to the program. That's the only way I would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
