Know0588,

Congratulations! Look forward to meeting you at Anderson this Fall. BTW, this is my contact email: cartmanbmw(A) hotmail.com. I am trying to get everybody going to CA schools together and have a party before school starts, hehe...

Congratulations for both of you.

I submitted my application at the beginning of last Dec (2nd round). but just got a response that my application is incomplete for they have not received my TOEFL score so far.  I think the admission staff must fail to match the score report with the rest of my application.  So how can I do now?  let ETS to sent it again?  

Another question is about interview.  I failed to schedule an interview when submitting my application for it had been no alumni available by that time.  I know interview is requisite for admission but don't know how to do to get one.

Actually, I got this problem too.  I asked ETS to send it again and ETS didn't charge me for that cause that's their problem.

Thank you for sharing your interview experience. In fact, I went to LA to have a "Super Saturday interview". I didn't feel very good about it. The whole interview just lasted for about 25 minutes. I felt that the interview was very business like. Maybe I didn't get the chance to present myself well. Anyway, it was done. I will wait for the news.

Another thing is: they didn't send me any email after I submitted my application, does it mean that my application is complete.

Hoping to meet you guys as classmates!

You should expect to receive an email from the school a few weeks after you submitted your application. In this email, you will be given an URL and instruction to check your application status.

You might have to wait for up to a month before you get the above email.

Good luck!

Hi Lixin,

For your TOEFL score report, you should follow Know0588's recommendation, that is to contact ETS and ask them to send it ASAP; In the meantime you should also let the adcom know (this is critical) that ETS is sending the report in. Very likely the adcom would still consider your app in the second round, or at least they would know it's not your intention to slip the deadline (It's all about impression, isn't it?).

In terms of interview, as I mentioned in an earlier post, you should try your best to get one. But as the adcom admitted, the interview slots are very limited, especially at overseas in countries like China where there applicants number is high.  I actually met one mainland chinese student during my Anderson visit and found out that he was not interviewed. Didn't Know0588 mention that he was not interviewed as well?
So try to get one, but don't beat yourseld up for it.

2cts,

Hi XiaoxiaoYY,

I heard about the super saturday interview. Didn't they arranged for several hundred interviews that day? So it's not a surprise that you may get fewer personal touches in that process. But depending on your interviewer's style, sometimes you don't know you hit the jackpot. Besides, it's the whole package that counts, interview would only be a portion of it.  

As for the email response, I concur with Gowell. Normally you should receive a email notifying your application is complete. If you submit your app by paper, there maybe a longer wait time before they can sort things through (sometimes up to a month even if you are in US). Give them a ring if you don't hear from them after one month past the deadline.

Good luck to you and wish to meet you at Anderson!

Ciao, CartmanBMW,congradulations!
BTW, I am one of those going to California schools. I am in the middle of application, I have some questions of application details. I have mailed to the office two mails and no messages returned. The deadline is Feb. 1.
Would California shools be in the holidays?

As far as I know there were no extended national holidays recently (I wish there were). They maybe off on Monday (Martin Luther King MD), but check the school calender if you have doubts. This is crunch time, so the office should remain open.   Often they would not be able to respond immediately since there are tons of apps need to be read. The fastest way to reach them is to call. Otherwise you are on the receiving end (and don't flood them with emails).

Good luck and see you in the golden state,
