I have the same question. Does anyone have any idea when the process ends in terms of when the last interviews/ acceptance letters are sent out?

I applied close to the deadline (3 days before?) and received a call for interview last Thursday (Jan 10th) so doesn't seem like they are done just yet! My interview date is a week from now on Jan 22nd ?

I'm so excited. I just got a call for my interview next week on Thursday, 1/24! I also submitted my application a few days before the deadline. Honestly, I thought this was a reach school. I am excited that they called, I thought that they wouldn't at all. Do they interview everyone? Or is it that they've reviewed your transcripts, grades, statement letter, and recommendations by now? Good luck to all with a future interview date! ?

I also got called for my interview yesterday! I'm very excited.

Good luck to those of you with upcoming interviews! This gives me hope that there still may be a chance to get into next year's program. I submitted my application on the last day of the deadline, but I had a lot of outstanding pre-reqs, so they were waiting on my Fall semester grade report as well as an official copy of my AP score report (from almost 20 years ago!) I've been thinking that I missed the window and that they aren't accepting any more candidates, but maybe there's still a few spots left to fill...

Good luck with interviews everyone.

I sent my app on November 30th (deadline) and had Fall pre-reqs (grades submitted late December.) I am a California resident (originally from NY). I still haven't heard anything back. I just know my app is still under review. Like you @Xausome, I think I missed the window? I didn't realize this was rolling admissions. According to this thread, latest interview invites went out Jan 16th. Anyone else got invitation since then?

I’m in the same boat as you @Xausome and @E.R Silverlake. My application was officially sent over to the admissions committee on Jan. 3, although all my documents were in on Dec. 21 (when my Fall grades were submitted). I called yesterday to get some sort of update- according to the woman from the admissions office, they are still inviting people for interviews. She also said it usually takes 6-8 weeks from the time the admissions committee receives your application to hear back... I just hope there are still open spots by then!

And yes, good luck to all of those with interviews!!

Thanks @nek17 for this update! Hope you hear back soon. I'll keep everyone posted on any activity on my end

Hey guys, just got a phone call for an interview for next Tuesday.

nek17 · Jan 28, 2019

Does anybody know the exact start date of the program? The school where I take prerequisites has a strange semester schedule- the spring semester ends in the beginning of June, which might be problematic....

E.R Silverlake · Jan 28, 2019

Thanks for this update @nek17 ! I'm so glad you finally heard back. Yay congrats and good luck on the interview. I am not sure exactly when the program starts sorry. I thought it was some time in June 2019. Admissions told me our class was still not filled and they are continuing to interview. I still haven't heard from them at this point.

If they decide to repeat how they’ve done it the past 2 years, orientation/first day of classes would happen right after Memorial Day again.

So maybe, there’s a big chance it could be as early as May 28 this year. (All speculation in my part.)
