As you may or may not have noticed, the application timeline has recently been updated. The interview notifications (invites and regrets) will be sent during the week of November 14-18. Your application status can change at any point throughout the day (8:30-4:30 PST). We wish we could give you a specific date/time, but there are many checks that must be completed before we email the letters to you and we don’t want to get your hopes up in case something is delayed.
If you are one of the lucky 640 applicants to be invited for interview this year, in addition to your invitation letter, you will receive information on how to book your interview, specific information relating to the interview and special events, and how to complete the supplemental application by the Feb. 15 deadline. This year you will be able to book your interview online through the online application system. Interviews are scheduled on a “first-come, first-served” basis, no exceptions. All applicants invited for interview will have access to the booking system at exactly the same time. If you have exceptional circumstances determining when you can interview, make sure that you schedule your interview early. We will not be able to give you a different date or time if the dates you need are already full. The deadline for booking an interview is November 28 at 12:00 (noon) PST.
For more information relating to the style and format of the interviews, please see the “Interviews” page of our website. It has also been updated and will give you a good idea of what to expect this year.
Good luck and we’ll be in touch in a couple of weeks!
