I tried to do the same thing Dr Pierce suggested but also couldn't preview the questions. But I got it completed and submitted the other day.
Did everyone schedule their essay? It was weird because I remember choosing the 11am option so I'd miss morning rush hour. But it confirmed me for an earlier timeslot. I verified with the office so I know when to show up. But it was still a weird glitch. So maybe double check your confirmation email and go by that date and time.

Did you get a separate email to schedule your essay? I completed my interview today, but I didn't receive anything for the writing assessment yet.

Personally, I'd suggest reaching out them. They've been really responsive and helpful. Maybe they have the wrong email on file or maybe your spam filter caught it.
What was your pre-req GPA? From what I've heard, the only reason you wouldn't get an invite would be a) missing prerequisites or b) low pre-req GPA. Like I heard last year's cut-off was 3.4 and its been creeping up each year as it gets more competitive.
Hopefully it just got lost and they just need to resend it.

I reached out. Thanks for the suggestion. I have a 4.0 prereq GPA. I completed my interview, and now I'm just waiting to schedule my writing assessment!

Definitely reach out for the proctored essay link. I got my interview and essay emails separately but on the same day. So if your interview one was initially missing, your essay one is probably missing too.

I also did 3/2 at 10. See y'all there!

I'm scheduled for 3/3 at 10:30a; I'm so anxious! I wonder how long we have to wait to find out if we got in, after taking the essay portion...

Good Luck to everyone!

Banana85 · Feb 19, 2020

I'm 3/2 at 930am.

I read in past year posts that the committee meets the second Tuesday in April and acceptance/waitlist emails start going out next day.

That’s going to be such a long 6 weeks!

Banana85 · Mar 2, 2020

Did my tour and essay today!! The next 6 weeks are going to be so hard.

Our student tour guide was amazing. I really glad we got to meet with current students and pick their brains.

Xinefaulkner · Mar 2, 2020

That's so exciting!! Mine is tomorrow, and I'm really excited to get this part over with. I will rest easier knowing I have done everything I can to secure a position for this fall.

Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Amanda_H_W · Mar 2, 2020

Had mine today, too! The tour was great! Wish my shoes had been more comfortable, LOL. I can’t wait until April. I don’t know how I am going to make it!
