jlumsden Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 In the week after the interview in September, I often found myself with my fingers on my phone in my pocket, just waiting for it to vibrate, especially as it got closer to the one week mark. I kept it charged, watched vigilantly for messages. It was hard to fall asleep because I was so excited. Seven days after my interview, I got the call. I was napping, mid-afternoon, because of the week's insomnia. My advice would be to stay as busy as possible until the call comes. Nothing you do can control whether or when the call comes. I'm wishing you all a good week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracie A. Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I remember last year after I knew others from our interview were getting the call that my phone went off - it showed a restricted number. I got butterflies. I answered... the lady on the other end said "Hi Tracie this is <insert name> from the university of..." You can imagine where my mind was at... then she ended that sentence with "Phoenix"... I came very close to having a complete break down.... then a few hours later I got the real call :) I second the advice to stay busy. The refresh button on the threads doesn't make time go by any faster. I second the advice to remember that you're not completely out of the running until you get a rejection letter. Take care!

roxygirl19 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Well, I made it! Got the call today. I am so glad to hear all my fellow interviewees that also got in! It sounds like we gave the admissions team quite a run for their money. Cheers everyone! Now to apply for financial aid :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktcan10 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 CONGRATULATIONS, you guys!! Best feeling in the world, that's for sure. I was getting off an airplane on my way to another interview when my phone dinged with a voicemail. The second I heard Tim's voice, I started shaking and crying. Pretty sure people thought I was dying. Looking forward to meeting you in Seattle for the anatomy class!!

roxygirl19 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hey guys, I have tried searching this forum for housing for Seattle. Any ideas? Also, we would like to rent out two of our rooms for Spokane campus out of town-ers for the duration of the didactic year. We only want to offer this for students of the program (Super creeped out by Craigslist.) Any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberia Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Omg! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you guys! :-) I know you are glad it didn't take a week to hear back. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracie A. Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Congratulations everyone! My first suggestion is to start a Facebook page for your class. I loved getting to know each other and start to help sort through the information. For now though - just soak it in and enjoy the feeling. March will be here before you know it and time flies once it begins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
