angelicamber Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Nothing yet, but I'm sure interviews will probably start rolling out in the next few weeks given previous years' timelines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After YEARS of rejection after rejection, I also just received an interview… and this is my top program choice! Even though I was fully aware we wouldn’t be hearing anything until December, I was still checking this forum every day and just hoping I would be lucky enough to be writing this exact post. I am both literally and figuratively jumping with joy for everyone who received an interview and for everyone else’s dreams to also come true! Cheering for us! I mean it! I feel this in my SOUL!! Yay for us, for persisting in the face of painful rejections and keeping that hope alive! Would anyone want to meet up in advance of the interviews? Maybe a zoom or something? I'm not the most tech savvy so I'm not sure how to go about getting that set up, but I'd love to connect with you all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayAreaPAWannaBe Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Is anyone else confused about the video? In the interview day schedule there is an hour slot for "video uploads" so I assume this is when they want us to submit. But they provided the submission link in the email with our interview schedule, as if we could also do it early? Are we also expected to record the video during that hour long slot too? Not sure what they are looking for, don't want to do anything wrong here!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they are looking for, don't want to do anything wrong here!! My thoughts exactly!! I almost feel that’s it’s better to submit before rather than wait for that hour to record and submit.. but the instructions were vague. I’d love to know if anyone heard otherwise!

I can set up a zoom but was waiting to hear if more people would be interested. Let me know if there’s a good date/time I should aim to schedule the Zoom for!

The instructions given to you are specifically reserved for interview day, so don't worry about it until then! It will be clear at that time what you need to do. Good luck! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add, I ended up reaching out in paranoia and I was informed that they are providing advanced time before the interview to upload the video. However, the time blocked in the schedule can still be utilized to record/upload the video. Essentially, it's your choice when to upload! Hope this helps. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vboura Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) For those interested in a pre-interview casual zoom meet up prior to interview, the time that worked best for those so far has been Saturday, Jan 15th from 9-10 am PST. If you want to join in, send me your e-mail and I can pass along the invite! Edited January 11, 2022 by vboura 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08262020 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 So.. is everyone doing the 60 second introduction video beforehand? I always get nervous about videos and talking about myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get nervous about videos and talking about myself I submitted mine beforehand! Glad I did because it took me significantly longer to record a 60 second video than I was ever anticipating.. but it will be nice to have another hour on interview day to relax before the second half of the day! I hope there is a way to confirm the video was received by the admissions committee though, I didn’t get an e-mail or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reload the page & said “thank you for your submission for the MPA admission interviews!” I would take that as a confirmation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliPA91 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Hey, I just received an interview invitation for Saturday (1/22)!

You can submit anytime before interview day, or there is an hour blockduring interview day which you can record and submit as well. I'm sure it will look favorably on the admission committee that you were willing to take an interview with such short notice--best of luck!

CaliPA91 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Thank you for the prompt reply, I read your message before reading your comment, so there may be some redundancies in my response! I never even considered the faculty would know that I was given a last minute slot haha, so that makes me feel better! I have about 24 hours to prepare! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
