It is nowhere near time for me to start packing, but I'm already getting excited! This is just a primitive list of the things I think I will need, and I will update it once I'm all packed up.
I got in!! I am so excited! After more than a month of waiting I got a call from the same woman who organized my interview event telling me I am a finalist for CBYX AFS. I got my call on Monday, March 21st at 8:03 pm. It had been a really rough day and since the quarter was ending that Thursday I was overwhelmed with work. I was doing my technology project when I got a call on my cell phone from a number that wasn't in my contacts. I had been waiting for the call all throughout March and if they had called me any other week I would've flipped out as soon as I saw the number, but I had been so distracted and overwhelmed that I didn't really think about it. The possibility that it could be CBYX only ran through my head when the woman on the phone said "Is this Ava Taylor?" Then, when she told me her name I knew what was happening. I knew from reading other blogs that the person that organizes the regional interview event (at least for AFS) is the same person that calls you and tells you if you've been selected. I started screaming crying and I had to hand the phone over to my parents because I was freaking out so much. I spent the rest of the night calling everyone that I had been talking about the process with to let them know that I had been accepted.
In this post I am just going to share everything I know about the interview process for CBYX. I applied through AFS, and I know that every implementing organization has different types of interviews, but some of these tips are going to be the same for all interviews in general. Good luck!
Hi everyone! I am writing this because I just had my interview and am freaking out and can't stop thinking about CBYX so I thought I would start a blog. I applied last month and I don't yet know if I've gotten in or not, but I figured I would write a post about the application process while everything is still fresh in my mind. Hopefully this will help anyone applying for CBYX or any other exchange program!
