By the way, the paperwork also mentioned that the next cohort begins in August-September (2011). They offer two programs each year, one in Feb-March, and the latter as previously mentioned. That is, of course, if things go as planned. =)

I was asked to bring everything you guys mentioned above, except the official transcript. I do have one though, so I suppose I'll bring it along just in case...

I know!!! It sounds like a very brutal interview process. I still wanted to go today just so I could get the experience, but I know I wouldn't do as well because my heart isn't in it as much anymore. Plus, I don't want to get in the way of other appl...

Hey monkeysarecute! I'll also be starting Feb 7. And they called me around 9am too. It's funny because I have an interview for Stanford Medical Center today, but since I accepted the offer I won't be going. Congrats to everyone and good luck to those...

Seems more like a good "sign" than a bad one. The way I look at it, if they really weren't considering us, they probably wouldn't bother with the email
@ bellissima: Thank you for the advice =). Wow, so it's only 4 questions per person? Also, how were the managers/interviewers -- were they intimidating, friendly, etc. Thanks =)
It will be a simultaneous (we'll be in the room with 3 other candidates) 4-person panel interview. They will be asking different questions of each candidate, and we will be able to hear each other's answers (behavioral questions). I think I'm more ne...

I was told by the Versant director that they would have another cohort in August. She says she hopes they will be able to accommodate more candidates in August 2011 since in March 2011 they only had 10 openings. I encourage you to apply for USC, but ...
