I did... I didn't think it went all that well, to be honest. It didn't go that badly either but would have liked to come off feeling like I really did well. How did it go for you?
Keep your head up. These kind of things often feel like they went worse than they really did.
Thank you! We'll see how it goes.

For those who had the interview - do you guys send out a thank you note? Or is this just silly at this point?

You may want to email admissions to see if there is a part of your application that is missing. Your app should be complete by now but something must be holding it up. I think some people here have tried to contact hls admissions earlier in the cycle, maybe they have some other advice too.

i thought about it. i think that would be annoying to be honest. and they'd likely receive it after they already submitted their notes on the interview. no point to me.

Mine was received on the 30th. It has not completed yet.
Can we catch the November waves of JS1, if we submitted by the end of October?

What's the general consensus on sending thank you letters after interviews? Expected? If so, should it be done via a message on Zoom to the specific person one speaks with, or via an email to the general admissions address?

One person a couple pages back reported a JS1 on a different day, but they were URM with really high scores, so it may have been a special case. It doesnt seem like there has actually been a second “wave” yet. Probably Monday, I would guess.

Finally submitted my HLS application. I'm not in the numbers category where I would expect fast movement, but I'll cheer everyone else on!

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
