Just got an email saying "your application has been reviewed by one of our (human) admission screeners and is currently under consideration for a virtual interview. We will invite applicants for a virtual interview on a rolling basis from early August until our last interview in late February."

I am taking this as a very neutral, purely informative notification and I know this is supposed to be helpful and is incredibly kind of them to do, but with this being one of my top schools it has made me more anxious lol!

I mean I could be wrong but I think interpreting it as positive or negative would be unrealistic :/

i just got an email from them too but instead it said that my application is in queue to be reviewed by their screeners so it looks like you made through whatever initial screening they have!!

when i first opened it and saw the “Our goal throughout this admissions cycle is to be as transparent as possible” i thought it was a rejection and my heart sank. nice to have some transparency though lol!

They kept me under consideration for a virtual interview until the bitter end last year. Even sent an email in February like, we have one interview date left, there is still hope hahahaha nope no interview. But people were getting rejected while I was getting those emails so idk, was prolly on a waitlist or something for an interview. I’m a reapplicant this year

OOS hoping for an II… received my second “monthly update” email saying I’m in consideration for an interview. I’m letting the delulu take over and convince myself it’s possible 🥲

I know at least 1 person in this forum got an OOS II, but they are from a neighboring state. My understanding is that AWSOM has less of an IS bias and more of a regional bias

I received an II, but I am located in a neighboring state. If you watch their online videos and attend their Zoom calls, they certainly lean more favorably toward OOS than a state institution.

Ah I see, thank you for your response and best of luck on your interview!

I am not near the region, I wonder if anyone on the west coast has heard back.

Preparing for a virtual interview (OOS applicant), any tips from past interviews for this specific school (questions asked, time length, what worked for you)? Any advice would be huge 🙏
