Thanks for calling. I'm sure that's all they gave you, but did they make it seem like it would be before COB?

She didn't mention exactly when (I *think* she may have said later in the afternoon) and I didn't really ask. Timing of the release of BLG schedules isn't going to change much, and for those of you with deadlines for OCI, those deadlines are likely at 11:00PM or later anyways.

Same boat, shadow, and I had a panic attack about never having received that approval email last week and contacted the office. They told me I was eligible for the fair and my materials had been approved despite my not receiving that email. I also received the F&L and Wilmer Self-ID emails.

I think you can rest easy.
I made a mistake on my identification, put 1L instead of 2L. So I got a rejection email at first, but was able to make the change. Apparently the absence of the rejection was the acceptance as I never got a confirmation email after I fixed things.
In your defense, they had status as of a Fall 2013 up until 2 days before the deadline. I had 1L and switched it the day of.

Ahh, so that's what happened. I got rejected at first for the same reason, and was wondering how I had messed up something so simple. -sigh-

Schedules are going up. Seems there were 338 applicants.

Can anyone else log in yet? Got the e-mail, but my account is still disabled.

SAME ugh.

Also, my account is still disabled, but I'm guessing there will be a small time lag to re-enable accounts. That happened to me for another job fair.

[Update] Got into symplicity but there are no schedules...not sure what's going on.

I got 7 of the same email so I'm assuming that that's how many interviews I got? Regardless of how many I'm just happy for some news!

Yeah, right now I don't see any schedule. They all just give me a withdraw option?

NP~~, though I honestly think its just that the "Invitations" column in Symplicity is still hidden.~~My interviews are showing up now. Pleasantly surprised. Also, I think I can confirm the # of emails correlates to the # of interviews.

I've been trying to click on the "Scheduled Interviews" tab, hoping something would come up but it hasn't...and the waiting game continues!

NY to Boston? That's a day trip! DO IT. You can do it cheaply if you take an early morning train and a late bus back.
