Hey everyone, I recieved an interview invitation via email. I read on the website they invited 74 out of 170+ applicants. It looks like 7 students from last years waiting list are automatically in for the class of 2014. One of my co-workers is starting in the class of '14 and he said the interview was laid back and approx. 30 min. Good luck to everyone!
