<p>I just spoke to Iris Early about the admissions for part 3 and she says the notification for whether or not we got moved on to part 3 has “just started” and “will be going on a rolling basis for the next few weeks” so there is still hope. May I repeat: There IS still hope!!! :D</p>
<p>Thanks for the update collegequeen!!!
I also asked my counselor, and she said that they do go by region and it will take a while.</p>
<p>Don’t lose hope!!!</p>
<p>So if they do go by region, Hawaii is done?</p>
<p>Just wondering, was there a word limit to the short response??</p>
<p>Thank you collegequeen!</p>

<p>There was a word limit and it didn’t say on the website, but it was on the email instructions. I think it was like 250-550 words?</p>
<p>Whattt?? I definitely exceeded that. I need to start reading the emails thoroughly.
My response was like 1165 words uhhhh…</p>
<p>Yikes, that is really over! Hopefully they won’t count it against you! They really needed to put it on the actual application…</p>
<p>I know…I really hope that they at least read it!! </p>
<p>I actually first misread the application directions and thought that the response had to be 250 words and so I spent my entire time writing the short answer that was limited to 250. I then went to copy and paste it and then found out that 250 was MINIMUM. I was kind of mad but… I just took advantage of that and kept writing on and on, turned out to be a novel. lol</p>
<p>@lav- My counselor can be false. Right now, almost everything is a theory. I won’t lose hope if I were you.</p>
<p>@Robia- I think they put limits because if you’re over 1000, more than likely the reader lost interest. Think how many essays they have to read.</p>
<p>That is way over haha
Iuv, let us know how your interview went =)</p>
<p>Haha, so mine ended up being half an hour. I was kinda nervous, so my voice was shaky at some points, but I think it went well 
Like Jeikudes, my mouth was super dry after the interview, so get ready to talk a lot!</p>
<p>Btw, mine was with Ms. Gonzalez and not Ms. Early. I’m pretty sure they’re both doing interviews to try and speed up the process</p>
<p>Omg, just got notified that I am moving on to the final round. So relieved. I was so nervous because my essay was like 1500 words. You guys I hope we all get in. I’m about to schedule my interview now!</p>
<p>Congratulations Ukilipsul :)</p>
<p>Thanks! I wonder how many kids they interview? Anyone have any pointers my interview. I scheduled it for Thursday morning at school.</p>
<p>Congrats Ukilipsul! What region/area are you from?</p>
<p>Hey nice job up!!!
We had some interview tips in the past pages!</p>
<p>Congrats!! I hope we all get in too! I am thinking they will interview about a hundred people?</p>
<p>I’m from O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A , Oklahomaaaa , OK!

<p>What, is there like a list of questions or something? What were you guys talking about writing down bullets about?</p>
