My personal went 45 min though so I was hoping it balanced out, haha. Hello, I agree with both of you! Thank you for sharing with your experience on the second interview. I'm little similar to Hkane but in the reverse way. I totally agree with FuturePASPA28. My second one went much faster than the first. I'm glad to hear a few people experienced this, too. I also enjoy the post-interview session very much. I found it’s very informative and helpful! Let's hope for the best next week! It will be my pleasure to be part of this cohort. Good luck to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the middle of my interview (nervous, sweating, rambling on- Im the WORST interviewer) and out popped the phrase, "youve got to risk it! Risk it for the biscuit!" And I immediately cringed, and he said, oh my, you ARE from the south, arent you?!?! Then he made fun of me. .... Jennifer So Pinterest decided I needed to see this today. Which is funny since your post is the first time I've ever heard of this expression. I'm going to go look for some tinfoil to make a hat out of so the internet will stop reading my mind. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait to meet everyone tomorrow Continuing to pray daily and push the fear/anxiety away! Does anyone know how many students they are accepting this cohort ?

Guest mands Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 @tiera I believe it is about 60 ! I read somewhere they have the capacity for like 140-150 or something like that, but only plan on taking 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hkane Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Ok, going into this post-interviews week with all the anxiety. They said they’ll meet to discuss on Tuesday and the first round of acceptances were on a Tuesday...what time of day did all the accepted get the call? I’m assuming it won’t be until later since they have to meet. Were they all on Tuesday or did some get accepted on other days?

I believe they said that they were meeting Monday and Tuesday and that calls MAY start to go out on Tuesday. I wouldn't read anything into not getting a call on Tuesday That doesn't mean I'm not going to be diving across the room to answer my phone every time it rings. This whole application process has me talking to more telemarketers then I've talked to in the last 10 years.

emilymuff Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) The calls for the last group went out on a Tuesday evening EST. I agree with @jamierah. As hopeful as I am to hear good news soon, the staff probably has a ton of things on their schedules other than the applications, so I wouldn’t be too worried if calls don’t go out by Tuesday.

There is no way to predict any moves they are going to make no matter how hard we try to find a pattern. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hkane Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I understand and won’t be upset if they can’t get to it. But I’ll still be diving for my phone when it rings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAgoalgetter Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Haha. You all crack me up, mostly because the same questions run through my mind. I work on Tuesdsay and I am on the west coast. I think I'll alert all staff in case I frantically run out to answer a phone call Good luck to all of us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelaneyR44 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Hi all, I received an admissions decision today and was rejected. Interestingly, I interviewed with Yale Online last year and was waitlisted... I have 1000 more hours of experience and about 20 more credits, all A’s, this year, so I’m honestly completely shocked. I shouldn’t have made assumptions, I guess! Anyone have a similar experience? and good luck to everyone who has already interviewed!

Have you applied to other schools? Will the school tell you why? I’m currently on the waitlist from an earlier group of interviewees. It definitely strengthens your patience lol Edited July 20, 2020 by alvarn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaLiz2021 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Also was rejected. I’m sad. Congrats everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakadanPA Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Rejected today as well. Actually relieved to have one less application status to worry about. Good luck to everyone with upcoming interviews. To those who were rejected today don't lose hope; there are plenty of other schools waiting to accept you. You're hard work will pay off eventually, and maybe sooner than later!
