<p>my name starts with an L. :)</p>
<p>i was called yesterday and my last name starts w/ a B. </p>
<p>my interview's today. eh, wish me luck?</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>The interview isn't too intensive, they called me this morning (I was asleep when they called yikes.)</p>
<p>Some questions I was asked (so you know what to expect):
- What challenges have you faced in the past and how have you overcome them?
- What do you want to tell about yourself that wasn't on the application?
- What is a future career you're interested in?
- What sort of science/engineering projects or activities have you been involved with in the past?</p>
<p>they work on sunday?</p>
<p>thx incognito. </p>
<p>what if i don't remember what i wrote on my app?? i have no memory recall on stuff like that. how'm i supposed to answer "What do you want to tell about yourself that wasn't on the application?" ?!?!</p>
<p>now0520, apparently they do. caught me by surprise.</p>
<p>wishful_thinker, don't stress too much about it - I'm guessing they just want to know more about you personally, since the essay wasn't on a really personal topic.</p>
<p>thx. what were your stats btw, incognito? (yes i'm sure you're asked all the time but it's just ONE more time, right?)</p>
<p>Has anyone recieved an email about the interview? Im scared that i might have recieved a phone call while i was away, because my grandma (who does not speak any English) said that someone called and was asking for me.</p>
<p>grkscientist,
Don't worry about the interview. They call back if you missed it. I was gone when they called too and they just called back the next day.</p>
<p>same here. they called and no one picked up. my mom called the number back (caller ID) -- the phone call was from dc suburb....</p>
<p>if anyone wants to chat about NASA Sharp, just pm me with your AIM.</p>

<p>Yeah it'd be cool to talk to potential fellow Sharpies; private message me too if you want to talk :)</p>
<p>Heh... Still haven't been contacted, thinking that I'm not accepted! When do you think they'll start sending out rejections?</p>
<p>they've already started, i dunno if they're doing rejections slowly or not.</p>
<p>By the way, do you think they're calling by region? Where are the people who received calls from?</p>
<p>I got a call on thursday, Im in Maryland</p>
<p>I'm from Ohio. I know zpmqxonw is from the West Coast, so I don't know if it's by region.</p>
<p>Yep, I'm from Seattle. However, I only got called on Friday so there might still be time.</p>
<p>florida, called yesterday, supposed to be called back today but...no call yet</p>
<p>**edit: they called 7:30pm friday night and my mom didn't know it was them but she saw "DC Suburb" on the caller ID, so she called the number back (and it was them) 11:00am saturday morning and they said they'd call back sunday. they never did. hopefully they'll just call today (monday).</p>
