byf8thpber Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Great to see everyone today! 4-6 weeks is a long time to wait for a response so I think I am just going to go hide in a cave for the next month so as not to be checking my phone/email everyday. Good luck and feel free to reach out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was verified 7/13 and I haven't heard anything yet... My friend got a rejection letter about a week after applying and she applied the end of July. They said her classes were not good enough for the prerequisites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orchidlily12 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Did anyone who submitted their application in late June (06/29 for reference) not receive an invitation yet? I'm trying to see if I'm probably going to be rejected, or if they just haven't sent interviews out for late June/early July applicants yet.

khadijasaleem Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hi everyone! I am interviewing on 10/12. Super excited but a lot more nervous and anxious. I was reading this thread. Can someone tell me what flipgrid is? and also, how was the interview? what kind of questions should I expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was verified and marked complete June 5th and still haven’t heard anything. Seeing people getting offers for interviews who applied way after that, but try not to think the worst! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another quick question: did they give you a specific prompt to answer or was it general for all students? just trying to gauge how i should prepare! thanks!! so basically, theres like a 30 min time lapse where they send you a link and everyone gets off of zoom to film their five minute video. the "prompt" (in quotations bc its barely a prompt lol) is to tell the admissions committee whatever you feel like you want them to know/is important. i practiced by writing out bullet points of what i wanted to say and really emphasized why i wanted to attend midwestern, since there wasn't a supplementary app for this school. i just timed myself and then adjusted what i said accordingly to fit within the time limit. good luck to everyone interviewing!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePA1223 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 has anyone tried sending an email to request a status update? I know when I called the admissions office the automatic message said they don't give status updates over the phone but can email a status update if needed.
