sydseg2119 3 Posted August 2 Congrats!! When did you complete the background/drug test/fingerprints?I didn’t start on the background check, drug test, or fingerprints until after my interview. All was finalized at the beginning of this week! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PA2bgal 1 Posted August 7 I was interviewed on 7/25 and was accepted today 8/6. I completed my background check and everything a week before my interview. I did decline the offer because I already accepted an offer from another program. Good luck to you all still waiting! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before they offered you acceptance... was the check-off list / everything on your dashboard for Castle Branch complete? B/c I have completed everything, but for some reason my fingerprint result is still pending. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you can contact CastleBranch to get an update as to why your fingerprints are still pending? South mentioned everything needs to be completed on CastleBranch before they offer acceptances.

Are you in state? I'm out of state and called IdentoGo who confirmed my results were delivered but my CastleBranch section still says incomplete! I'm wondering if there's extra steps for out of state results to make it to the school. I don't want to bother the school but I'm going crazy waiting to hear back!

Okay thanks so much. That's great to know. I called CB and they were no help in regards to the situation. If I may ask are you a FL-resident? And if so, how long did it take for the school to determine/validate your fingerprint results. Thank you so much for the help ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was actually shocked with how fast mine was. I sent it through the mail on 7/22 and it was complete before my interview on 7/25. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rfo1234 21 Posted August 13 I received a confirmation email from South on June 10th. I haven't heard back regarding rejection or interview. Anyone in the same boat? Do they notify applicants if rejected or do they just not bother ? Are they still offering interviews or has the class been filled? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjacobs7 2 Posted August 14 (edited) Hey all, My castlebranch still says incomplete for my eligible for placement tab under fingerprint submission. I have contacted Amanda and she said they have all paperwork but I don't think she understands what I am asking her. I was in the first interview group. I am going to give her a call but I wanted to know if anyone was offered a seat with this still pending on Castlebranch.

I had my interview July 25th, then had my fingerprint done the 28th. So it’s been over 2 weeks now- status as incomplete, but everything else is checked off. I emailed Amanda last week, but still no response . So I’m having major anxiety because I do not want to have to call the school. However, the only for sure thing I know, is that I have not been rejected lol so I’m in complete limbo. But I do know they refuse to give out an “Acceptance” notice without having everything checked off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She previously responded to me saying they had all my paperwork but I'm not sure if she recognized that I had already interviewed and wasn't just submitting CASPA.

MKcali 0 Posted August 16 I interviewed 7/18. I submitted my castlebranch stuff all on 8/6, it didn't all post until 8/14 and I received an acceptance call on 8/15. And I am from out of state. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
