I just know that when I submitted, it still said "200 words each" because I copy-pasted the whole thing into a Google Doc where I wrote that. So to be honest I have no idea what the word limit is! I guess I'd just keep in mind that they read a ton of applications, so try not to write toooooo much. Could always reach out to them if they have a preferred word limit still? Awesome thank you for that answer. I was sweating. Most of mine were a bit longer than 200 words but I think decently written (I hope haha) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(& thanks @LPfuturePA) I wasn't hallucinating, lol, it DID give a 200 word limit. And opposite of @medic1210, I was sweating bc 200 words and 9999 characters are drastically different. I will reach out to them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an invite 7/12 and still haven't heard anything. I don't know if it's going to be in person or online! Or the format either. I checked all over the website and didn't find anything for that. I'm just praying they don't send the date and time last minute while making it in person. That would make for buying flights a bit sucky lol...

Lauren3881 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 When do you find out your specific interview date after they let you know you were invited for an interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jferr17 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hi! How long did it take for the program to email everyone with a decision. I submitted my app about a month ago and am nervously waiting for their decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnthusiasticPAHopeful2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Not sure if this helps anyone, but I just got off an online chat with the Rutgers team. Interviews will be online this year and the format is a 3:1. Although I am happy to save on costs of airfare and hotels, I am a bit sad I can't see and experience Rutgers and the surrounding town. Also still haven't heard on when my interview will be. In the chat the admins said it's August-December so I don't think we need to worry about a date popping up for this month, phew! 3 hours ago, jferrelli said: Hi!

MRAMBITION1488 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone! I just got notified that my application got moved to the second round of screening. I have learned to count every victory, no matter how big or small it may be! Hopefully, I get called for an interview soon! Best of luck to you all!

I've been thinking to myself that every day without a rejection is a good day (and perhaps no news is good news). Congrats and I hope you get notified about an interview soon!
