Hi, making this thread for those applying to Cedar Crest in 2025.

We were called, our portals were updated, and we got letters in the mail. I believe our deposit was $1,500. Most who did not make it saw the update in their portal but there were at least two I know of who just didn't get any communication and their portals weren't updated. It's a great program but sometimes the communication is a little spotty. 

How long after all the interviews did people actually hear back? I know they said a few weeks?

I think it was around two weeks after the interviews were concluded.

I am overthinking my interview. It was short; they only asked about five questions. Did anyone else have a similar experience?

Same ! I felt mine went by super quick !! They started their first question before I could even sit down !! The only reason why it lasted a tad bit longer is because of the questions that I asked at the end .

Mine felt short as well. Before I knew it I was being asked if I had any questions for them. I was a little surprised that it was the end of the interview. Although, I will say that I did hear the knock on the door right as I was being asked that so maybe it just seemed like time went by very quickly. Fingers crossed everyone!

Same mine was short also only 5 questions I tried to tell them as much as I can about myself with each reply. 
 

The knock on the door is a time reminder
