Hey everyone, I'll be interviewing 10/5. Best of luck to everyone else interviewing with me. Does anyone know if that class has been filled yet?

I'm not positive, but I'm thinking the class is not filled yet. I called to try and get an earlier interview date than mine scheduled on 10/19, and Bonnie said that 10/19 is still considered a pretty early interview date. I'm hoping that means it's still early enough to get accepted.

Awesome! It would be hard to interview knowing you're just competing for an alternate spot. Hopefully the class won't be filled till late.

It is hard to say without knowing other aspects of your application such as sGPA, GPA trends, etc. But I know there cGPA averages are a lot higher than yours (info is posted on the website). Also, they use rolling admissions and have already offered a lot of II's. Might be worth referring to last-years thread to see where your stats/timing of application fall for the deadline and acceptance chances.

 

Best regards,
