?Awe shucks! I'm in Dublin, all the way across the Atlantic. Sorry I can't come in for an interview. I'm really bummed about it."
That's what I thought I could say. I got all of my applications sent out before I left, but then I figured that I would be safe from the interviewing process.
I was wrong.
Bank Street sent me an email asking if I could interview, and no worries, I can do it over skype. I could not escape! In all honesty, however, it was actually really amazing that I could conduct an interview across thousands of miles and a five hour time difference. Technology can be an incredible thing!
In the past, I would have been incredibly nervous, but now, I've had to adapt to meeting so many new people in such a short time that an interview didn't seem so bad. I surprised myself by how little I actually worried.
The interview went exceedingly well. I was shocked when, at the end of the conversation, the director asked me, "So where should I send your acceptance letter?"
Really!?! I still can't believe that I have already been accepted to the program! I had to hold my hand under my jaw to keep my mouth from gaping open. I can start in June---I don't even have to wait until the fall semester. I fell in love with the school's educational philosophy and I think that I could definitely fit in.
I probably won't hear back from the other universities until April. I don't know where I will end up going---but it's nice to know that I already got accepted somewhere ;-)
