Waiting for your US college acceptance letter is tough â¦ hereâs how to bide your time. For a lot of college-bound students, waiting for thick acceptance packages â or skinny rejection letters â from universities is the toughest part of the whole application process. The anxiety can become overwhelming as each day passes with no news.
Arriving 15 to 20 minutes before your scheduled interview is acceptable. Any more than that, and you may be sending the wrong message. Plus if you arrive too early, the staff may feel like they need to entertain you or continue offering you coffee, etc. They're trying to make a good impression too.
You will need to schedule an appointment within 30 days of being conditionally approved. The actual appointment date can be beyond the 30-day period. For example, the scheduled appointment date can be several months from now, as long as you schedule it within 30 days of the conditional approval date. Failing to schedule the interview within 30 days from the date of conditional approval will result in being denied.
