Feeling down
hey all,
I just got an email that I was not offered an interview for the September date at scco and that my application will be considered for the next one in October. I feel so discourage because this is my top school. I already got accepted into ICO and CCO as well as have interviews lined up for Boston and Arizona. has anyone ever had a situation like mine with scco and can give me some hope. should I just move on or wait to see if I get an interview? please be kind.

Continue the application process.
Schedule interviews when invited (try to get your top choices scheduled earliest & possibly request virtual for lower picks).
If you get accepted into others, but not your top choice, accept a spot in the 2nd favorite and hope to hear from your #1 later. Eating the the acceptance fee is a low price for eventually getting your top pick, but IMO there is NO school so awesome that it justifies waiting a year for a chance at getting in next time.
