nweston Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi d.charles, I'm on a similar timeline to you. App rec'd 9/20, under review 10/13, no word about an interview yet. Does the "under review" status mean that we should expect an answer shortly, or just that it finally got to the adcom? Lurg and david, did you receive the "under review" email as well?

nweston Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hmm.. guess there's nothing else to do but continue the wait then. I think they are scheduling for the second to last interview date, so here's hoping we hear soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessMT Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi, I am a current 1st year student at UNE. They have a social with some of the current students (including myself) on Friday evening, the day before the interview. I would suggest going. It is casual, we aren't judging you or reporting anything, I promise. It really is just for potential students to get their questions answered. All the 1st year students went through the same thing last year and so I can't think of a better resource than us. Of all the interviews I went to, I thought that UNE was really fair and straight forward, which is part of why I ended up here. So if you are on the fence about going to the social, I would highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltjn Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'll by flying in to Maine for the November interview session. Because I have classes on Thursday, I end up missing these Friday socials since I'm either in an airplane or figuring out how to find a motel near the campus. Bummer I know :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbowman Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 hamiltjn. I will be there for the Nov. 19th interview also. I am staying at the Inn at St. Johns which is one of the closer places to stay near the campus and it is about $55 a night. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessMT Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hamiltjn (or anyone), if you have questions, just ask and I will answer what I can. We just started the cardiovascular module which is pretty intense, so needless to say I'm busy (as always). On the other hand, I found this forum to be quite helpful for me last year and so I am happy to pay it forward. I stayed at the La Quinta myself. I think it was around $60/night and the rooms were actually pretty decent for that price and then just rented a car. I also knew of people who met on this forum and shared the cost of a rental car and hotel room with two queens. It's a gamble, I know, but saves you money if you are interviewing many places.

zbowman Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 JessMT. I have never been to Maine. Is it feasible to walk in mid-November from near the Hospital to the campus? Or is there a bus that runs that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessMT Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 This will be my 1st time here in November. I wouldn't recommend walking to campus from near the hospital because it would take quite awhile (probably almost an hour walk), and if you added possible snow to the equation, it's a real gamble. There is a bus and here is the website: http://www.gpmetrobus.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=206. The only thing is that they don't start until 8:15 on Saturdays, which would put you late to the interview day. I would see if anyone would want to split a rental car or cab fair which would be cheaper. There are probably going to be other interviewees staying near you, so that's an option. Also, some hotels offer a shuttle service, so that's worth calling and asking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaystyr Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I'm starting to get really nervous...I haven't heard anything, rejection or interview. I got the two emails from UNE about the 'under review' a few weeks ago. and my application was sent 8-30-11. I would have thought that I would have heard something by now...have rejections gone out yet too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbowman Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 juliagreenwald. When did you interview? How was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsGPAC Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I interviewed on October 22. It was very laid back and relaxed. My interview felt more like a conversation than an interview. My only complaint would be tha because of that, I left having no idea how I did! :-) That's hardly a complaint though. It was an enjoyable day. The students were very candid and helpful and the faculty were very friendly and down to earth. You eat breakfast, take a tour, do a small writing sample and interview with one of the faculty.
