I was so excited today I got my interview date. I think what it comes down to is that you just want to be with that person so bad that the excitment overwhelms you.

Congratulations! The only question I don't think was answered was what happens if you don't get the hard copy of your interview date and time? Just print off a copy of the email you received.

Penn, congrats!

A-Team, have you still not gotten your date? I wonder if they have sent it out and just not bothered emailing? This is why we are going to ask for a late May interview. If they drag their feet, we will still get plenty of notice. But I'm starting to think they can drag their feet enough that we won't get much notice anyway. Grrr. Anyway, I really hope you get your interview date soon--like maybe today would be nice!

Nope, no interview date yet. I'm seriously contemplating emailing them again. I'm trying to wait at least a week between emails. I don't want to make them angry! :P

I think we've actually decided that I'm going to get everything taken care of here and then go down for a short visit to the States while we wait for my interview. We'll fly up to the interview together and then just go home afterwards. I can't wait. I can't get rid of things fast enough! :P

I went back to the email that they responded to and they answered the one from the week prior. I think they are just bombarded with emails. Also I am sure that they only respond on Mondays and Fridays. Those are the only days I have ever gotten a response. You will get it soon.

:devil:

I suppose you could also try asking them to send you another copy--who knows if it would get to you in time, but it might.

Good luck at the interview!

ATeam, if you don't mind me asking, what interview date did they give you? I sent my packet 3 back on Feb 27, and I'm trying to guess approximately when my date will be. I have to book a moving van soon, and it's really frustrating not having a firm date! Penn's date (April 28th) is the most recent date assigned, so I'm working on the assumption that they are now booking dates after that...
