crallen Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Had my interview and I thought it went ok... They asked me how many kids I have and what ages..when I told the a 6 year old and 6 month old though, they questioned how I planned to attend the program with two kids... I explained I have a great hubby and grandparents that live with us for full time live in day care... Then one of the interviewers explained how difficult the program is especially with young children at home... So my advice to women is... Do not talk about your children! It felt very negative at that particular point... Do they ask MEN this same question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kismet Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I don't know about you guys but I've been working double shifts at the clinic since my validation session to keep my mind off the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mausilio Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 crallen, since their average student age is higher than the national average (about 34) I'm sure this is a real issue they see all the time. Hopefully you convinced them you had things handled which it sounds like you did with your family being there. They probably don't want to deal with parents not being able to make it to class/clinicals because they have a sick child and no one to watch him or her etc. Good luck! Mine is tomorrow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soraya1217 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Just interviewed and I fee pretty confident, the staff was friendly and welcoming. Writing assignment was common sense. For those who interviewed already, who did you interview with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRBLACKMON Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Enjoyed my interview a great deal! The staff/faculty were really friendly and welcoming and just got good "vibes". Now the next week is going to be nerve wracking! Fred said they would move really quickly and might be calling people this Friday and letters within 2 weeks. Fingers double crossed and thumbs pressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crallen Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Wow I am jealous! My interview wasn't so warm and welcoming... Good luck sounds pretty good for you guys. What is meant to be will be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangutanna Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Since Fred said they will be calling as early as this Friday and sending out letters in 2 weeks, does that mean that if you are accepted you get a phone call and if you are declined, you get a letter in the mail?

I didn't feel like I did too hot in my interview as well. No worries, whatever will be will be... I hope for the both of us we get good news in the next few days...

happytiffany Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi everyone. This waiting thing is really hard, huh? I didn't realize they might start calling this Friday! Wow. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangutanna Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yes, that sounds correct. I just read this on Stanford's website though... "All applicants will receive a written notification of the result of their application. Confidentiality issues prohibit giving feedback by telephone."

doxy Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 "Confidentiality issues prohibit giving feedback by telephone." I believe they will not discuss over the phone the reasons for not making it into the program. Not calling us with the good news!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangutanna Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Anyone get any calls today? I've been reading up the threads from last year or so and I noticed that it takes them several days to call. There was one applicant who got the call of good news 17 days after his interview date, and another got his/her call 14 days after their interview... My interview was on Friday the 24th at 9a, so I guess I got some nervous waiting to do for the next couple of days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brosnat Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 No calls yet, or maybe none of us on the forum have been accepted...lol..jk. Fred told me to expect a call the first week in March, if accepted, but he did say probThurs/Friday...and the waiting continues :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happytiffany Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Gosh! I totally stared at my phone all day today. My co-workers must have thought I was crazy! I didn't even know that they would call so, I guess the wait continues. Whoever does get a call, please post so we know when they start calling! Good luck everyone!!
