[macsak]

Interviewed pre December and have heard nothing back already sent a letter of intent am I getting ghosted is there anything left to do?

if you haven't heard back by the third week in march, start preparing for next cycle...

 

[nikki_234]

Does western accept letter of intents?

 

[CherylSwoops]

Did anyone feel like their interview wasn’t as conversational as others said it was? I’m usually good at connecting with people, but my two interviewers seemed pretty cold or “stone faced”. I felt like it was part of their act, however, I believe I handled it well and answered all the questions with good details/stories.

 

[nikki_234]

For those who had an interview this past Friday did they say anything about acceptances and when they will go out?

I interviewed this past Friday and when I speaking to my admission counselor about my interview experience she smiled and said “we’ll see what happens in a week” so take that for what it’s worth lol

 

[nikki_234]

Also, has anyone who interviewed January 12th gotten an acceptance?

 

[CherylSwoops]

My friend just got rejected without interview. Notified via email to check the portal for those who are curious.
