Hi everyone,
I just wanted to post here to complain about a recent experience of mine, heh. Here's the deal: I received an invitation to interview at Indiana about 3 weeks ago (even though my application was complete back in November). Since I had only had one other interview (and got waitlisted), I was very pleased to get another shot at admission. I called, but they said the last times they were interviewing were within the next two weeks. Now, I'm in a location where short notice flights are very expensive, so I asked about the possibility of a phone interview. They said they would look into it, so, in the meantime, I was able to find some relatively cheap flights and planned to come to the Indiana. However, Indiana then told me that I could have a phone interview, given my circumstances, and they would get back to when and what time they would call as soon as possible. So I opted for that instead of scheduling a face to face interview like I had planned, happy to save several hundred bucks.
Fast forward two weeks later. I still hadn't heard back from them about a definite day and time my phone interview would be, even though I had contacted them several times. Finally, today, I get a letter saying that, upon another review of my application by the admissions chair, they can't interview me for admissions, but they can interview me for a spot on their wait list. But I'd have to come to Indiana for that.
Totally lame. Now, my only chances of admission this year are one more interview and the hope of getting off of SUNY's wait list.
