tlabounty Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I swear that letter must be the exact letter sent to everyone who didn't get an interview last month. "We get lots of applicants, can't provide individual feedback, be sure to attend workshops throughout the year." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happytiffany Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm so sorry to hear some of us didn't get in. This is my second year applying too. I haven't heard anything other than through here! Sorry to hear the bad news, guys! Good luck to those who haven't heard anything yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelseff Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 For those who didnt get in hang in there. I applied "more than once" lets just keep it at that. But DONT YOU EVER GIVE UP... or no Guac for you! Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike mike Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 This is horrible, this makes me believe NONE of us that are active in this forum got in :( Don't give up yet. If 50 people were called this week and accepted I would imagine one of them would mention it here. At least that is what I'm clinging to at this point since I have not heard anything........yet.

I figured that too, there is at least 10 of us that actively post on here, and from the odds of things, at least 1 of those 10 should get some good news. I checked my mail today, nothing yet. No email or call either. So I guess we'll see tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brosnat Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I was in the first group to interview almost 3 weeeks ago, possibly the 3rd or 4th person. I havent heard back..I just know the letter is in the mail. Does anyone have input on the "random selection"? To those of you who received letters already, what day did you interview? I interviewed 2/22....still no call, no email, and no mail...anticipation is killing me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlabounty Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I know the website says random selection, but a friend told me that Fred said it's not random. I'd love to know which it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike mike Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 My interview was 2/16 and I had the impression there was nothing "random" about who was selected. Just an impression though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kismet Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I know the website says random selection, but a friend told me that Fred said it's not random. I'd love to know which it is. I wouldn't think it would be random. I'm sure it took them some time to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangutanna Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I wish the information we were all given were more consistent. It would definitely help calm our nerves and finish any confusion. We keep hearing, it is "random" like it states on the website, but then we also hear it's not random. Then we were told that we'd get a call and/or letter, and now we're also getting information that we would get e-mailed? It's all too inconsistent. But in a couple of days/weeks all of this will be settled. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRBLACKMON Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 As for the random bit.... I asked about that on my interview date. They said that it was a requirement of the California Community College systems that Foothills is part of and until recently they were required to do it that way. They just recently got permission from whomever they needed to select their students on a purely competitive basis...so there is no longer the random selection, but it is a recent change.

CDHart Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 To those who didn't get in, like Joelseff I applied more than once and we're both PA-Cs now so keep your head up. Mourn for a brief time then get back on the horse. As far as random, I didn't hear it went away (if so great, honestly) but my understanding was they'd throw all the qualified applicants who pass the interview in a hat and draw 50. So if 80 make it past, that would be the odds. I hated the idea of that system, I hope it did go away. Also, after my interview I felt horrible and was sure I didn't get in. The two who interviewed me dripped condescension IMO. When I least expected it I got a call from Fred while I was at work, I almost didn't even answer it. All that to say, you don't know till you know. Good luck all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the last hand picked class...i hope they get rid of the open book, group study exams which they put in after our class....they hated our class we were kinda whiney lol....

soraya1217 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I havent got an acceptance call or rejection. IDK if thats a good thing or bad, this Friday will be two weeks since I interviewed.=/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlabounty Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 If selection is no longer random, I wish they'd spend more time with the candidates. 15 minutes of reviewing my application packet is not enough to get to know me. I liked the fact that Stanford seemed to choose candidates based on who they are and what they have to offer, not just their academic record but I don't feel that's quite so true anymore.
