Hello Everyone 

 

I completed my Interview on 8/20.

 

Im glad I read the forum and prepared accordingly.  If you follow the advice on the forum it will help you know what to expect and calm your nerves. If you YouTube MM1 there are some great resources and you can practice the format.  Just be yourself and give them honest answers on your OWN thoughts and IDEAS.  

 

I enjoyed my time with the program faculty they seem very friendly and supportive.  

 

Good Luck everyone.

Hi all, congrats on your acceptances! I will be interviewing 8/29! Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

[oliviarae92]

Just received my acceptance today! Congrats to all of my future classmates and good luck to all the applicants!

 

Congratulations, I also received the call yesterday informing me I was accepted! I can't wait to meet everyone!!!!

Hello All,

I have my interview coming up here this Monday as well. I am looking forward to meeting you all ! 

[Nicaboy81]

I received my acceptance call on Thursday 25 AUG.  Congrats to the other applicants and good luck to people interviewing.

I'm debating if I should apply here.. I wish I knew about this program earlier! Does anyone know how many students have been accepted so far / how many interview sessions there will be?

[MarkMass]

Not sure about the number accepted so far but there is an interview session Monday the 12th and another to follow a few weeks later. If the school interests you, esp the format of the curriculum (modular), then apply. Deadline isn't up and doesn't hurt to try.

[k123]

There are 16 of us in the Facebook group right now, so at least 16 seats are taken.

[oliviarae92]

To my fellow cohort,

 

Have you guys completed Castle Branch? Also, any idea when we are supposed to hear about whether or not the program receives accreditation at the ARC-PA meeting this month?

[oliviarae92]

Hi k123! Did they add you already into the fb group because I submitted my enrollment demographics sheet and deposit but i don't see the group?!

[k123]

I completed all of the assignments and my background check is complete. The only thing I did not complete is the drug test. I'm waiting until we find out about the accreditation until I do that. Oh, I asked Carrie, the latest we find out about the accreditation status would be early Oct but it could be anytime from now until then. 

@oliviarae92 Yeah, USJ added me the day I sent in my deposit and enrollment dem sheet. Did you give the e-mail address that is associated with you facebook account? I would e-mail Carrie again and ask or PM me your fb email here and I can add you to the private fb group. 

[oliviarae92]

Thank you, actually after I posted this I saw the email from Carrie asking me to join the group. :) I did the same exact thing, I have completed everything but the drug test, which i was told just has to be completed within the next month.

[MarkMass]

I also received an acceptance email yesterday (missed the phone calls).  Can anyone who has put down a deposit tell me if they require a subsequent deposit a few weeks later?

 

At the interview this past Monday they mentioned the ARC-PA notifying them this weekend.  

[oliviarae92]

Congrats!!!

 

No subsequent deposit just the $800 for now. However, you will be notified shortly after to submit your order for a background check through CastleBranch, which has to be done within a week and that's an extra $117. Hopefully we are going to be notified very soon; I know I for one am quite anxious to know for sure so that I can start preparing.

Anyone know if the class is full, i was waitlisted for an interview and wondering if theres still hope

[MarkMass]

I don't think that it's full, however there are still two more interviews. There is still hope, especially as a lot more schools are starting to interview and offer seats now.

[ableddy]

I just got off the interview waitlist! I have an interview sept 26th!! Does anyone know if there are still seats available?

Also any tips or hotels in the area?

Hey ableddy,

 

I can't speak to whether or not the class is full, although I don't believe that it is. When I interviewed I stayed at the Farmington Inn which was absolutely adorable and so quaint. In the morning I was able to take advantage of the breakfast to grab some coffee and a little snack before heading to the interview. It's an easy 15-20 minute drive from the school. Good luck!

I received an email saying that my application is currently on the wait list for an interview invitation!

 

hoping for the best!

[Eortiz293]

Hey Ableddy,

I was wondering if anyone has heard back from the September 26th interviews. Getting a bit antsy. I noticed that a few of the people on the forum interviewed on a Monday and heard back that Friday.

Thanks,

Lisa

Hi lisa,

I actually noticed the same thing so i was hoping id hear back today as well but nothing yet.

I will definitely post in here when i find out!

Hi all,

 

I am currently scheduled for an interview on October 24th. I submitted applications very late into the application cycle (apps went out mid-Sept) so this is my first and only interview invitation thus far. I am desperately hoping that there are still seats available and that I am not merely interviewing for a position on the wait-list! 

 

For those accepted, is there an updated head count in the FB group? And a big congrats to you all!

 

Cheers

[Eortiz293]

I interviewed on 9/26 and as of then people were speculating at least 15 seats open. However, I cannot say for sure. I know they said they are being very picky so that people who are waitlisted andhave a high number on the list can anticipate that they may get in.

Judging by the FB page, there are 20 members joined and 2 invited.  You're given 2 weeks to pay a seat deposit so its unclear if they have more offers out post-9/26 interviews.  It's just a guess, but I would think there will be <10 seats available going into the 10/10 interview.  

 

Don't lose hope about seats being available plus you never know if people are interviewing elsewhere in the meantime.  

 

Good luck and just be yourself in the interview.... They can see right through BS and brown nosing.  

[MarkMass]

The program is officially accredited for those waiting to hear.
