I got the acceptance email around 2/3pm today but have not received a follow-up. I also got the acceptance email this afternoon but no follow up with the contract and details. I will probably email them in the morning asking about it if I don’t get it by tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming something will be sent out tomorrow. It seems like the acceptance email was auto generated and that further information will likely be direct! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Hey! I also just got the email saying my seat is secured. They also have a Facebook group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They specified that this is the last interview day for a seat in the class. Does anyone know the process of the virtual interview day and have any tips to prepare best? Thank you so much!! Congratulations on getting your interview. I would say don't be nervous since the entire process was relaxing and conversational. And wow never knew interviews were already finished, that was fast! Get a good night's sleep and drink water since you'll be talking obviously haha. Good luck to you and hope to see you in class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get down! They are still interviewing, however after the next interview session they will have theoretically have filled all of their seats and will be interviewing for waitlist spots. Probably about 50% of their students each year come from the waitlist. I interviewed for the waitlist last year and while I was not so lucky, many people I interviewed with were offered a seat off of the waitlist! Also, they can take around 4-6 weeks to review your application, and this time of the cycle more people are submitting so relax, be patient, dont stress! its going to take some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnuggett Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hi I wanted to reach out as I wasn't sure if anyone got any updates on the last interview dates? Do they contact you for an interview via email? This is my first time applying to this program so I am not sure what to anticipate or where any updates regarding my application are located. TIA!

Hey, yes they send updates via email. Looks like last interview dates were already sent out according to other candidates. I would think waitlist emails would be going out soon.

Another applicant mentioned it in this chain, that they received confirmation the final interview date for an actual seat was sent out, I believe its the beginning of July. So any other dates sent should be for those to go on a waitlist is my understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasafrass Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 @icexmetalAs far as I know, it is just a normal interview. It did not say anything about being on the waitlist. It said I am "interviewing for a seat in the program." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prepalife112 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Congrats!! They may have had more seats open up! I heard from others that there is a high chance of being taken off the waitlist as well! I am trying to prepare for my interview. Is the interview traditional? MMI format? I know it is with faculty and students, but I am unsure how to prepare and focus my attention. Anyone mind sharing? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if they held my application for longer because I actually work at AMC? I honestly haven't been able to figure it out, either! As I understand it (what I have heard form current students, faculty, and recent grads), the interview is incredibly laid back and conversational. I believe it is more focused on getting to know the applicant than direct, probing questions about your intentions. I could be wrong, but that is what I have heard in my inquiries. I currently have interviews set up with 2 faculty (each 1-on-1), and then some breakout sessions with student interviewers, which are held in groups. The rest of the day is dedicated to a virtual tour and some more questions with Sarah, the admissions counselor. I hope this helps! Don't lose hope (I had, then WHAM!!!, right in the feels).

icexmetal Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 @kasafrass Okay I see. Anyways to answer your question I interviewed with them last year. It is super casual. You have 2 1-1 interviews with faculty and its very conversational. In between interviews you are just chilling in the video chat and chatting with the other students. They also talk about the program and you get to ask some current students questions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
