MOT Program Acceptance!

So it had been 10 days (October 29, 2013) and still no answer from program Z (refer to previous blog). However, program A had finally invited me for an interview. The email looked something like this (picture to right).

This was great, right? I mean my original first choice asked me for an interview! Well, like I said in my previous blog, I was pretty blown away after touring program Z, so I was in quite a dilemma.

I didn't want to accept the interview for program A and then get accepted into program Z and have to turn back around and decline the interview for program A, which then I might have ruined someone else's opportunity for an interview. I also didn't want to decline the interview before I got answer back from program Z and essentially "screw" myself over. What was a girl to do!!????

Rewinding a bit, during the interview I mentioned that I got to meet with MOT students before I actually interviewed. Well, one of the questions asked were how long it took for them to get their answer. Each said roughly 10 days. Well today was day 10 so my answer would be on the way right?!...

So, what I decided to do was give myself until Friday (November 1, 2013) to get an answer...If I got an answer from program Z before Friday, I would write an email respectfully declining the interview for program A and if I didn't, on Friday, I would accept the interview for the latest date, November 22nd, so that if I did later get an acceptance from program Z...I would have enough time to decline and hopefully still allow another applicant to take my spot. Does all this make sense? lol So...what happened!?

On October 31st at 8:11am I received the offer I had been waiting for!!!!!!!!!! Just in time! To the left you can get an idea of what it said.

I called mom, screamed in her ear, and did a happy happy HAPPYYYY dance!

Later that day, I wrote an email to program A respectfully declining the invitation.
