I declined because I’m still finishing my undergrad (graduate in December). About a month later, I got an official interview invite for the cohort starting October 2023. I don’t think you should have a problem and I don’t think they should hold that against you because relocating and being ready to start in two weeks is insane! Good luck! Thank you so much for your response! I feel much better now-I also ended up declining the interview because I am under obligation with my current job to finish out a certain time period! I hope to receive an interview for 2023 as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got waitlisted and the interview consisted of 2 interviewers for each person. Mine was in the last slot and unfortunately my interviewers weren't conversational but it was okay. Hopeful about my chances though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexPREPA Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Hello! I applied in the beginning on September. I was wondering if anyone knew if it was full or any other interviews taking place? I haven't gotten any emails so I figured that might be a good thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's full but they said they would be holding interviews through later next year- and they have a waitlist. I hate to be the one to say this because it's so inconclusive but there's definitely still time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if they are the same as Knoxville but I definitely get the vibe that they prefer at least a 3.3 and above with the higher the better. I was rejected by Knoxville and when I asked they said they look at 3.5 and above and interview the top 40 applicants each session. Idk why they list their minimum GPA as 2.75 if they won’t even look at anything below a 3.5. Seems really dishonest and a money grab to me.

They have attrition rates and avg GPAs for the 3 previous classes, and if you don't feel like your application can be competitive without the GPA/GRE scores then just don't apply and save yourself some money. The application fee is $95, one of the more expensive ones out of a handful of schools. They gave you an apathetic answer because they cannot give in-depth feedback with the amount of applications they receive and reject. Your best bet would be in your next interview at the end to ask if there is anything on your application that might give them pause. This is the moment with someone who will tell you not to worry about it or give you something constructive while you have their undivided attention. It sucks, but there is a reason why the accept about 9% of applicants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like then they should just list a 3.5 minimum. I’m a lower GPA, but high GRE and PCE applicant so I thought it would make up for it. But you’re right I definitely would’ve saved my money had they been honest about their real GPA minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I was told in the email. When I pressed further I was told a 3.5 is what they look for. Didn’t say if it was science or cumulative. “We use a holistic approach. A competitive GPA is 3.5 Each month we run a report to pull the top candidates holistically. The top 40 are the ones that receive an interview.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
