I had this happen. I registered for two on accident. You should email the two people referenced in your interview invite email and tell them of the mistake, and which date youd like to keep. Thats what I did and they were helpful.

What did you click to be able to register for two? And how were you able to see which dates were open? Because it wouldn't even show me the page with the calendar unless I unregistered.

I unregistered for a date because I saw that there were more available for the 12/1, 12/8 series but when I clicked register it only took me to the page saying I had registered for an event already. So I unregistered from my January date and there were no December dates anymore. I went back to get back the January date and it was gone too and now I'm freaking out because there's only dates in February available.

One is in person and one is virtual. So I guess that’s why??

yes that's exactly what happened to me. I registered for in-person first and then I realized they have virtual as well. I couldn't cancel the in-person one but I could cancel the virtual one myself. So I reached out to them since I actually wanted virtual.

I could see other dates available in September when I did it but they only let me register for an October date. the system was a little odd. If you see a date available but it won't let you register I'd reach out to those people on your interview invite email as well. I wish I had.

For those who already had virtual interviews: what time was it scheduled for? and how long did it last? Trying to plan my interview day ahead :)

So you are assigned a 30 minute 1x1 interview in the morning (time isn't known until the week of the interview) and then you have panels for most of the afternoon.

Hey, guys! I was recently accepted by ACOM. I was wondering if there are any current ACOM students who I can reach out to by private message for questions to learn more about the school. Thanks!

there was also an optional student Q&A. I had work so I didn't go. But usually can ask some good questions.

Interviewing here in ~ 2 weeks, anyone know if a lot of seats are filled already?
 
I originally scheduled to interview on February 2nd and they emailed me last week and moved it to tomorrow. Did anyone else receive an email like this? I am wondering if it was a group of applicants or if they just randomly selected me...
 
Are there any MS2 here who attended the bootcamp at ACOM?

I did! But the email has like so many different dates and has my interview date for Aug 18. I was also told that I was supposed to attend the mandatory presentation on Friday the 3rd (like 2 hours before… and I had work) and then later in the email it said I had to attend on Nov 17. But also the email said it’s the schedule of events for this week. Needless to say, I am confused.

Yeah they said we’d hear back within a week from the interview….

Anyone know how long after interview we should hear back?

It seems like it usually takes a week. For 8/27 and 8/30 interviewees, it does seem like it's taking a couple of extra days. Hopefully, everything is alright and we'll be receiving decisions soon. I'm going to cultivate some patience to cope haha

Hi! Got an acceptance email on 10/27, never got a follow up email about putting down a deposit. Wondering if anyone else is going through the same thing. Anyone know how long after the A they send that info?

I didn’t get my deposit information until about 2-3 weeks after I got my acceptance!

Do you think we are also evaluated on the required presentations? Because my interview was 11/6 and I wasn't sure if I could expect a response 1-2 weeks from then or 1-2 weeks after the presentations which are on 11/17 for me. I have them on separate days

Exact same situation! I asked the lady sending the interview emails jf waiting until 11/17 would set us back in the cycle (bc rolling admissions 🥲) and she said “no you are solely evaluated on your 30 min interview and your application.” That prob doesn’t help much bc even if they make the decision now they may not tell us until after. Unsure :/

Oh okay thanks for the info! At least we can relax going into the presentations more. Good luck!
