This is crazy again..... last year I applied interview mid July and was asked EI questions then took a quiz after... they made acceptance calls phone beginning of August leaving the rest wondering. We eventually in Oct got a waitlist email. We couldn't find anyone who got a rejection letter. This year reapplied, first to interview still EI questions and a quiz again for me. I was told I  would hear results in August and they verified my address.... Now I get on and see interviews till October....and some saying end of the year... 😭 I do know the applicant pool did double from 200 last year to 400... so maybe that's why

Just got my interview invite - mine isn't until the middle of September!

Does anyone know how/when they decide to send the links? I submitted I think the week of the deadline 😓

How many applicants were there this year/how many are interviewed?

I wonder why they are telling applicants different things, and if it means something, but also they are terrible at communicating cause they didn't even tell us prior to the interview that they moved where we were supposed to go so we were stuck wandering around the CALS building and had to call someone

OMG I am so glad you said that!! I was late to my interview because the email they sent me said dean office 4th floor .... I showed up early and the secretary was confused when I said I was here for my interview. He then grabbed the  program director and I showed her the email.... I was like now great they are going to think I'm irresponsible! A student had to come get me from the office . I'm so glad it wasn't just me!!

Has anyone received a rejection letter/email? I have an interview at Fran U at the end of the month and wanted to plan according but I don't feel good about not hearing anything yet. Thanks!
