How long does it take (EAYL Question)?

haimyem · Apr 9, 2011

I applied last year and thought I did great during the first round interview, but after a week of not hearing back I found Terri's email address and asked how the process was going. I think it was just a couple days later that I got an unofficial "no", and a month later I got a standard email stating that I didn't make their cut. I would give it a couple of days but I'm thinking if you made it in you would have heard by now, or Monday at the latest. Keeping my fingers crossed for you though!

Hi...Sarah???

I think that we met at the interview! I don't expect to hear anything until mid April. The wait is driving me crazy too! Feel free to email me if you want to share info or talk. Good Luck!

Hi Jennifer!

Yeah I was thinking the same as well - that we wouldn't hear anything back until mid April. It's definitely making me antsy. Every time my cell phone goes off I get all excited, and I think I've developed OCD since I check my email nearly all the time now :lol2: I'm very tempted to email them, but I'm going to wait it out and give it time since I was told they were only interviewing about 10-20 people for the 3 or 4 positions that were available. They've probably been doing background checks and more first round interviews, so I suppose they won't make any decisions until they've interviewed everyone and completed all background checks (and this is based on my assumption).

Good luck to you too - Hopefully we'll both make it through!

My understanding is that they are still completing the 2nd round of interviews for another program and they need to wrap that up first. I was told that we probably won't be called for the second interview until mid-april. The second interview will be with the EAYL Manager and due to a busy schedule she may not be available for interviews until near the end of April. Hopefully we will get some good news this week!

Well that's reassuring news! I guess I can somewhat relax knowing that they're still completing second round interviews for another program. From what I've gathered on here by reading other posts is that when they make their final selections for who will be in the EAYL program it's not usually until May, so it makes sense that we won't really know anything until later this month. I'm just an eager beaver - getting into this program would make a huge difference for me and my family!

I understand how you feel! I will keep you updated if I learn anything new. I'm new to this site but I remember reading that we aren't supposed to post phone numbers or email addresses. Do you know if there is a way to share contact info or send private messages?
