Anyone have past experiences with HAIL?
Anyone else invited to do HAIL? I think some of it has to do with location (gotta be located close to a metropolitan area, probably. I’m in the Bay Area). If all engineering applicants are invited, I don’t think I’ll bother.
“Interviews cannot adversely affect your application” is a direct quote from their email, but idk.
We are in southwest Michigan and my daughter received an interview invitation. This is a relatively small town and as far as we know nobody else received one.
@lagutier Nice! A year or something ago it was just a handful or large city areas, so I guess they’re expanding. Did she accept? I only had one day to accept/decline.
Yes. She accepted but we dont have any details yet.
We are in TN and S also got the email, and accepted it that day, but we haven’t heard anything else yet either. Does anyone know if it has any relation to strength of application, or is it just geographically based? I assume they would not waste their alum’s time interviewing someone who is a clear rejection.
We are in SD and D got one. Accepted but no further information yet.
The interviewer wrote to our son today asking for dates when he would be available for an interview. He wants to interview at a local Starbucks near his workplace.
My son was offered an interview for CoE on November 2 but hasn’t heard anything since he responded. Anyone else have this experience?
My son received that email on November 3rd and an was contacted by an alumni this past Monday. My son promptly responded that he flexible regarding days and we are still waiting to hear back. I think these volunteers are really busy with work and family life.
My son hasn’t heard back since he responded either. I guess they are trying to line everybody up. I assume that if they can’t get someone to do it, they will email to tell him?
Are you instate or OOS
My son received an email yesterday from UMichigan asking him to fill out a survey if the alumni is not able to meet with him. He has been waiting for 4 days for him to get back with a day and time and we are still holding out hope it will happen next week. We are OOS.
Same with us…we are OOS.
Can you guys say what state you are from?
We are from PA
We are from MA
TN
Has anybody been in an interview yet? My daughter accepted it but hasn’t been contacted yet. Thanks. we are in MI
My son had an interview last night and was told that HAIL selection was random. There was nothing unusual about the meeting as they discussed Michigan and my son’s extra curricular involvement/school classes. The interviewer was casual and didn’t take any notes. Michigan is his first choice, so the waiting until late December will be painfully long;)
My S had his interview last night, … about 35 minutes he said. Mostly a casual conversation about career goals, interests, hobbies and the interviewer sharing his experience of her time at UMICH, she did her bachelors and masters from there.
