hey everyone! Does anyone know if the school has filled its seats already?

I do not believe so! 

[DeeDeeJ]

thanks! I've been seeing/hearing about so many acceptances and was thinking they might be full as there are only 30 seats @whatsPAppin

I thought I only saw about 5 from this forum! I think there are about 15 people in each interview group so I don't think they're quite full yet  but that's just based off of what I have read in the forums. 

[DeeDeeJ]

There were people I interviewed with who received acceptance, some aren't part of the forum, along with others who haven't shared their acceptance @whatsPAppin

what date did you interview?

[emaleeroo]

Did anyone else get told that they have to send a professional head shot?

[DeeDeeJ]

I interviewed 8/17   but i guess no news is good news as some have received rejections @whatsPAppin

@emaleerooyes, everyone who interviews is asked to send a head shots

You’re completely right! We are still in the green as of now, it’s just another test of patience, we got this!

For those that interviewed, were the questions traditional, behavioral, or ethical? Also, was it a blind interview? Thanks!

Questions are all of the above throughout the interviews. I’m not sure what a blind interview is, but I’m going to say no.

I got the invitation to interview on Friday! So I assume (and hope) that that indicates there are still seats available. My interview isn't until November 16th. 

How does the group interview work via Zoom? I feel like it's just going to be people accidentally talking over each other.

I interviewed a couple weeks ago and one of the students said she got offered a spot in February so they’ll have seats available for a while. For the group interview it goes a lot smoother than you would think obviously it’s different because it’s online but don’t worry it’s actually much easier than you think.

Hello! My interview is on Monday and I was wondering if there is a time limit giving our responses? 

[Destinee]

For those that have interviewed, is it okay to have a notepad with us with questions that we wanted to ask or should I just memorize them?

I had a notepad and wrote things down. At the very least it appears that you’re interested and prepared.

I interviewed on September 10th and was accepted into the program on September 14th, so I wanted to chime in and address a few questions. 
 

The Zoom interview process worked very well in my experience. The one on one interviews were laid back and felt more like a normal conversation as compared to an interview. The group interview worked very well and our group did not run into issues with inadvertently speaking over each other. The current student interview consisted of our group asking questions for the full duration, so be sure and have some questions ready. 
 

I had a notepad with me for the one on one interviews with questions that I had come up with beforehand. 
 

I hope this helps!

Thanks so much, friend! I hope my interview goes as well as yours.

I interviewed on 9/15 and was accepted on 9/16. 

I also interviewed at several other schools and HS was the most pleasant interview process, by far! The faculty were extremely nice and understanding, with this being the first cycle of Zoom interviews. The group interview went smoothly and we didn’t have any problem with multiple people talking at once.

I saved a sticky note of questions to my desktop so that my mind wouldn’t blank during the interview. 

Just stay cool, calm, and confident and everything will go great! I hope this helps!

I was looking at their tuition breakdown and it is quite confusing. Is the total cost of tuition and cost of living for 27 months about 100k-110k?
