<p>I received email from GPPA. Anyone?</p>
<p>Not yet. When you check your application status online, what’s the date they put in where they checked in all your materials. Cause mine says the 19th, maybe I’ll be getting it later this week.</p>
<p>Oh, what did the email say?</p>
<p>I think I got it earlier since I sent some materials early.
Email was generally informing that the dean will contact me soon for schedules.
So I don’t know my schedule yet.
Let me know if you get one. :D</p>
<p>Just received the formal invitation today.</p>
<p>Don’t cut it. Your hair sounds like it’s part of your identity, don’t change that part of you even if it’s for GPPA. By cutting it you will only feel less secure (I would think), it would take some getting used to and you would not be the same person at your interview with out it. Good luck :)</p>
<p>If they ask anything about it, just explain it to them as if you have here.</p>

<p>Good luck on your interview! So when are you planning to attend?</p>
<p>Hey, do they go through the list alphabetically, so like my last name starts with an M. cause i have two girls in my class who got an email n their last names start with E and A, n they sent it out like the day before i did. so when do u think i’ll be hearing from them?</p>
<p>omgshinythings9, how long after u sent ur application did u hear a reply?</p>
<p>According to what I have read in this discussion, it’s more like rolling admission and applying early helps. So I think you should hear it pretty soon if your friends got it, dont you think?</p>
<p>Yeah I guess, I just checked online and it says “pending decision” so isA I’ll be hearing from them soon. I really hope I get in. ;)</p>
<p>Good luck :)</p>
<p>I think I’m planning on attending the feb. 5th one :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree with blueberry, i think it’s more like rolling decisions. </p>
<p>good luck :)</p>
<p>whoa, that’s this saturday. Good luck to you too

<p>Anyone from previous years got any tips on interview or impromptu essay they give you??</p>
<p>So im not really freaking out right now about them not answering or indicating anything cause of the whole blizzard. their office is probably covered or whatever. but out of curiosity, did anyone hear anything yet. thanks. ;)</p>
<p>if i were an interviewer for PRE PROFESSIONAL program, i’d think the curly long hair would scare me. It depends on the interviewer, i suppose. why don’t you go on a safe side and cut your hair? besides, they specifically said to look formal.</p>
<p>Anyone got a call from UIC for the second interview?</p>
<p>bluberry what noway. they extended the deadline?
why? did they not get enough applicants or something, considering they have about 400 per year hahaha</p>
