Does anyone know if they accept AP credits for their English Composition requirement? I emailed their admissions to ask about two weeks ago and haven't heard back yet.

I am not sure but Jeannine is who has helped me in the past with prerequisites stuff. You might try emailing her.  jbanning@siu.edu

Hi all! I just got a call that the July 13th interview will be virtual, she said that she was calling all the applicants scheduled for that date today and that there would be more information about the schedule coming out next week. Have a great weekend!

[Paapp20202021 79]

I submitted my app beginning of May and have gotten no response yet? Should I email?

I got an email at the end of May (05/27) with a July interview date. I'm not sure if that's their first batch of interviews of not. Then I just got a phone call today to tell me that my interview will be virtual and I'll receive more information in the next week.

I'll be doing the July 13th interview as well! Interested to see how the virtual interviews are set up.

So I applied before you and haven’t heard back yet. Should I be worried? 

[Tjw2386 1]

Im in the same situation. It's a rolling admission process so I don't know.

No, I answered the phone. I got my initial invitation via email, and then was notified of the virtual set up with this phone call. I think they have more interview dates later in the summer though and into the fall so just watch your email!

Congrats! I am too, I'm a little disappointed that I won't be able to see the campus since I'm out of state but I'm hoping that I'm still able to get a good feel of the environment through the virtual interview. Good luck!

Do I have to put my recommender's information into the SIU Grad School application? It's all in CASPA so I don't want to bother my recommenders again if I don't have to.
