sarraeo26 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Just had my interview last Friday...DO NOT FLY TO STATE COLLEGE VIA PHILLY! What a nightmare! They cancel ALL the flights the day of until one is full! The interview went GREAT! I was so happy that they were relaxed and not intimidating (Marquette was extremely intimidating and I felt like I was being interrogated with no feedback whatsoever). They did a lot of talking so it was very much like a dialogue. I walked out feeling like I have a really good chance of getting in. They were so nice and allowed me to be myself! I don't think I did so well on the exam...I hope thats not a factor in their decision! The essay was easy though. Cannot wait until the end of the week!!! I hope I get the letter before my next interview on Saturday! Did anyone catch how many people they are interviewing TOTAL for the 70 seats??? I heard 700 applicants, and they are interviewing 250 (or already interviewed 250???) Not sure which one it was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndiD Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I asked at my interview and they said they got about 900 applications and will interview 300. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjppa Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 sarraeo26, don't worry about the exam, they said it doesn't count toward the admission decision, only to give them an idea of how people progress through the program. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbledore Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I remember them saying it's actually about 60 seats since they said they accepted around 10 students that is directly from their school and that had a rough background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbledore Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 hello! does anyone know when exactly in late february they'll start mailing out acceptance/rejection letters? i can't sit tight in my chair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarraeo26 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I just emailed Lori because I'm considering applying to a few more schools whose deadlines are March 1st. They are having a meeting Feb 28th and making final decisions then, so the letters won't come in the mail til after that! I'm glad she answered! Sucks having to wait so long though!

castates Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Does anyone know about how many applications they are reviewing? If they interviewed 300 people, how many were rejected, how many already got in, and how many are waiting for final review? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castates Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hahahah I feel the same way. Except there is a good chance that they will mess up my order and I won't get to eat at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarraeo26 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I'm not sure...I guess I assumed snail mail since that's how they did the initial decisions, but I really wish they would call or email! Us west-coasties have to wait forever for the mail! At this point I don't want to ask again because I feel bad pestering them. Maybe you should?!

klrigden Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hey ya'll I'm in the same boat. I interviewed on January 28th..got put on hold, and have been "holding" ever since. Ahh! I'm assuming no one has heard any word about recent letters being sent out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbledore Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Not a word, I'm afraid. Just hoping each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusty47 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Well, I can answer one of the questions from above. It's snail mail! I got my letter today. I've been "selected as an alternate" for this years class, which is a lovely way of saying I've been wait listed (#7 on the list, which isn't all that promising, I'm afraid...I gotta believe that it'd be unusual for 7 people in front of me to turn down a spot at this point but I have no choice but to wait). Good luck to all who are waiting and I'll keep an eye on the board to hear everyone else's news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melkay12 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Thanks for the info, Dusty. I think #7 sounds pretty promising. My mail came already today... and nothing :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarraeo26 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 dusty47, #7 is REALLY GOOD! With a class of what, 70 people?, there is a very HIGH chance you will get in. ask someone at the school what the previous numbers have been. I am #12 on the waitlist at Samuel Merritt (a class of only 36) and last year 12 people were taken off the waitlist, and even more the years before that! I am like you, thinking its hard to imagine who would turn them down but many people get into multiple schools and Lock Haven may not be their top choice (its not mine but I'm going to take what I can get). Haven't gotten my letter yet, probably tomorrow. They take people off the waitlist up until class starts so don't give up! You are in a much better position than I am since you are in the top 10 at a school with a large class size. Good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusty47 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Thanks so much for the encouraging reply! I'll keep my fingers crossed for all who are suffering the wait. And I'm sure hoping what you're saying about my lucky #7 is true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tech1597 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Nope not heard anything yet and I only live an hour and a half away. Mail shouldn't take that much longer between clearfield and Harrisburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarraeo26 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I still haven't heard anything either (I'm in CA) and its driving me nuts! My whole life is on hold (honeymoon, moving, etc) and this waiting game is torture! *Sigh* I hope we hear something soon, like this week...

castates Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 I haven't heard anything either. A friend of mine heard on Friday, but it was the same with interview letters, she got hers 4 or 5 days earlier than me. I don't know why..maybe they send them out in alphabetical order (I'm near the end of the alphabet). But I am glad to know that I am not the only one who is still waiting.
