I am interviewing Monday and it is my first interview ever and I’m slightly freaking out lol, any tips for the albany interview? any last minute skills I should brush up on practicing answering? Thanks My advice to you and @slsorange is to be yourself. It sounds corny but don’t try to be someone you’re not. You obviously have the academic merit since you earned an interview, what they want to know now is you as a person (that’s what i gathered from my experience). They didn’t ask me anything out of left field that I couldn’t answer, so I think as long as you have some of the basics answered you’ll be golden. The interviews are extremely laid back and low pressure, both of my interviewers made that very clear right from the start! One of them started it with “Yeah this is going to be very informal” lol. It was a great experience and I trust you with do fantastic let me know how else I can help Edited June 12, 2021 by hopefulpa1997 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks In the email they send you upon acceptance, it does not request that you reply to the email. All they ask is for you to print the contract and mail that to them along with the deposit. Once they get it, they said they will email you confirming they received it. I mailed mine in a standard envelope. I live ~30 minutes from Albany so I’m not worried about tracking as it should get there pretty quick. They give you two weeks to get it in to them. Try not to worry too much, if it were to get lost it would get lost whether it be in an envelope or a box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Good luck to those interviewing tomorrow! I completely agree with everything shared by @hopefulpa1997 I would also encourage you to come up with lots of questions, both for the faculty and for the students. Also, think about questions the interviewers could ask you that are specific to your application and based on undergraduate experiences, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know mail always gets lost for me. Since they have a deadline for the mail to get to them, it would be best to call to reserve a seat right. I'm afraid a seat would be taken if the contract mail becomes lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid a seat would be taken if the contract mail becomes lost. Absolutely! I would even suggest emailing the admissions coordinator directly if that were to happen. If youre worried about it getting lost, I’d mail your deposit asap and get tracking (if you’re REALLY worried). I can’t imagine they’d be upset with you reaching out if it’s been a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent in my deposit, but haven't received any updates I received an email today confirming they received my deposit (mailed it last Friday, so 3-4 business days ago) and I live 30 minutes from the campus. In the email they said I wouldn’t hear anything from them until the fall, so I’m thinking that’s when we will start to find things in the mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
