Banner actually contacted me the week that I turned in my app. They then scheduled the interview for that following week and was accepted the week after. My cohort has aleady started. I had to defer due to personal reasons, but am now placed at Glendale for July. Banner contacted my friend within a couple weeks of turning his app. to schedule his interview. I also know of people who waited forever to get that call, so keep positive.
I was one of the early X-Philes who were fans of the show when it originally aired back in the early-mid 1990's. (X-Philes were online groupies -- back in the days as the World Wide Web was just getting started.) I lost interest in the last season or two ... but I still love the writing in some of the earlier "classic" episodes.
