flack11 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Also, has anyone created a Facebook group for c/o 2016? I find it an easier way to communicate, see faces, and familiarize ourselves with one another prior to program start. Again, congrats to all who have been accepted, and best of luck to all those who were waitlisted/denied. From what I gather there were 200-300 qualified applicants and ~120 that were interviewed. Tough competition to say the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlchan1 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 flack11, I don't think a FB has been started. Do you want to set one up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flack11 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yeah, I can do that no problem. I'll get invites out sometime over the weekend. My wife just had twins a week ago, so to say I'm spread thin at the moment is a mild understatement. :) My FB is set to strict privacy settings so you likely can't search me by name and find me. For all who are accepted/interested, just leave me your name here on the thread so I can search for you on FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flack11 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 On second thought, maybe we should wait until orientation so that all can be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlchan1 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Flack11, congrats on the twins! I have a 10 month old but can't imagine having twins. Good luck on the first few weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahopeful2016 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 For those of you that got accepted, do you mind if I ask how your interview went? 100% perfect? I feel like mine went extremely well except for one of the mini scenarios, but there was only one interviewer present instead of the 2+ in all the others. I'm hoping one less than perfect evaluation won't hurt my chances too bad. I think my nerves got the best of me and hopefully they are understanding when it comes to that, especially since it didn't happen in every interview. Thanks for any input!

flack11 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I felt as if mine went as well as I could hope for. I feel the group portion was the make or break point of the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KangaRu Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I felt like my group part sucked but I think I made up for it by acing my minis in a sense. The minis went very well and my academic interview, though a little grueling went alright. They got me one question "reassure us you won't fail out" (I guess I did reassure them as it turns out) but other than that they said I was very prepared...I felt like it could have gone better and overall I didn't feel like I stood out but I guess they saw something in me. As for the nerves, they totally get it, I'm sure you did even better than you think you did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahopeful2016 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks for the replies, flack 11 and kangaru! Kangaru, that makes me feel a lot better. I felt as if during the one mini I did poorly in the interviewer wanted to laugh at me at one point. haha. But during the group I performed better than two members and the third member was probably a tie. I aced my other mini and during the academic interview everything went way better than I could've hoped for. The interviewer was even shocked when I asked a question at the end and she said, "wow! thats a really good question!" So that gave me a little confidence boost because I met one girl who the interviewers told she asked the worst possible question. I don't think i've ever been this anxious in my life. Hopefully I hear one way or another today because I can't hardly handle waiting any longer. Congrats again on the acceptance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlchan1 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 For those who got acceptance emails, has anyone received anything in the mail yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumya_e Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I haven't received my official acceptance letter in the mail yet. I was going to wait until I got it in the mail to send in my deposit but I might just print off from the email and do it that way if it doesn't come in by tmrw. I know some of you discussed making a fb group.. I think that's a great idea. I don't think we'll be hearing anything from the program until late October to November anyways. It'll be a great way to put names to faces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlchan1 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Sumya_e, thanks. I haven't received anything in the mail yet either. I went ahead and printed the acceptance letter and mailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pahopeful2016 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I just got off the phone with the program and she said all decision emails and letters were sent out last week. She said she would re-send mine in a few minutes. So, my advice is to just call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitney0514 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thank you. I've been worrying like crazy and didn't want to call too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahopeful2016 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I was the same way but decided to give in and call. I asked her to double check the email they had on file and it was correct so im not sure why i didnt get it last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimberlyrr Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Does anybody have any insight as to financial aid for out of state students? I was wondering if student loans offered from UK were enough to cover tuition and living, or if students had to pull private loans from other banks. Thanks for any help!

whitney0514 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 @pahopeful2016: Who did you call if you don't mind me asking? I've tried the main number and it goes straight to voicemail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunafish Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Anyone got anything in the mail yet? I sent back everything just by printing out the email. Any news on a FB page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlchan1 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I haven't received anything in the mail yet. I emailed Linda Allen last week telling her that I haven't received anything in the mail yet. I wasn't for sure if there was anything in the mailed information that wasn't included in the email. She said the letters were in the mail and it was only a copy of the letter they emailed. Still haven't got it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
