Hey everyone!
I don't think there is a September 2016 page yet so I thought I would make one. :) What grades and how many hours are you all applying with? I need people to wait nervously with me.
I'm sure your e-mail is coming! I applied early in December but didn't get the e-mail until the very end of January. :)
I've had an adviser explain the whole selection process to me before, but I was so nervous to even be discussing the topic that I can hardly remember any of it Is the invitation to the interview based mostly off of the "essay" you write at the info session?
The invitation for the interview is based on a point system I believe, from what I can recall from the last info session. They look at the 4 high school classes, and give you points based on your grades. An A is 4 points, a B is 3, and a C is 2 points. The highest you can score is 16 points for the academic part. I think they said anyone with 15-16 points is guaranteed an interview for the most part.
They give you points based on volunteer hours too; 30-50 hours is 1 point, 50-100 hours is 2 points, 100-150 is 3, and 150+ hours is 4 i think. So basically the higher you score on the point system, the more likely you are to get an interview!
And yes the interview selection is also dependent on the essay questions you answer at the info session!
