Hey guys, I just submitted my application today. After combing through this thread, it looks like its taking about a month to hear anything and if I get an interview, I'll be invited through email. Quick question to see if anyone has had a similar experience: I am a military applicant and in a little over a month we'll be conducting a big training exercise. I am worried that if I am invited to interview (based on the timelines I've seen here) it would come just prior to our field training. Anyone know how severely it'll handicap me to have to delay an interview 3 weeks from when you get an invite? If anyone has any insight, I would be very thankful. Thanks!
Congrats on submitting! The sooner you interview, the better and if you are targeting ED, they tend to like to get those out of the way. That said, a few weeks isn't likely to make that much of a difference. Sometimes the alumni interviewer has to delay it a week or two anyway. A client of mine just got in today and he interviewed 2.5 weeks ago. It takes them time to get back sometimes as well, which has no significance really. I have had clients get in one day later with no money and this year 2.5 weeks later with $50K scholarship.
Good luck!
Best,
Scott
Thanks for the insight - just curious did your client's scholarship come with the admissions letter?
I was under the impression that CBS releases Merit scholarships after their deadline of January?
