I myself have not received a request. However I want to congratulate everyone that did! But also to those that did not also take into account that they are not only looking at your application but also curating a group of students they feel would work best together. So don’t take it too hard even tho it’s upsetting. You might have been an amazing applicant but they might have felt you didn’t mesh into the group of others they selected.

 

[mcama]

All hope is not lost. My request just came in. Stay positive guys.

 

[Rhipp]

I just got a request too! Good vibes everyone!

 

[Camilo_Ma]

Hello! I just got my interview request too!

 

[Zuri Zhou]

Got my interview request 20 mins ago！

 

[JoeIrv22]

Stay hopeful guys they said they will be sending notifications until the end of the week! Still praying on mine

 

[dchuang0710]

Just got mine too! Scheduled it on the 24th. Anyone knows the acceptance/interviews ratio?

After what happened last year I’d say it’s honestly too hard to say. And it’s not worth stressing about. Just prep for your interview and hope for the best lol

 

[Lunathena]

Really scared. Haven't heard about mine yet. Good luck to everyone who did! Nail it guys!

I'm also curious about the acceptance / interviews ratio.

Anyone know how much influence the interview has? From past threads I've read it seems hard to gauge why some people are admitted after the interview and others are not.

Got an interview request about an hour ago! All the best to everyone!

Curious about this, too. When have y'all / are y'all interviewing? I had 02/24 and 03/07 - think I'm going to interview earlier.

I had 02/26.

Congrats on the interview requests for those that got one today!!!

Although I haven't received an interview request yet (trying to stay positive), I was waitlisted last year.
So if you want to ask about the interview I had last year, hit me up! No problem at all

I was offered 2/15-16 and 2/22-23. Ended up picking 2/15 so we'll see how it goes!

 

[howdoigetin]

Do you guys think getting the earlier interview request is a better sign? I just got mine in the late window.

Appreciate if you could share your interview experience. Could you tell us what questions they asked you?
It seems like CU really sent out a lot of interviews, does that mean the acceptance rate after interviews is low?
