Now the tread meets the hot pavement. Good luck; BTW, this Board has a ton of reading material regarding this oh so very favorite topic.

Got a call this afternoon. As suggested (thank you, a very good suggestion) I changed the subject of this post for clarity. Also, I apologize, I didn't see the earlier thread.

Did you get a choice of dates or did they tell you when? And good luck!

I had a choice of times on a given date. I think I could have asked for a different date, but I did not do so.

This person was scheduling for the week of June 9. I'm scheduled for June 9 and received a confirmation email.

Steve, sorry for jumping your thread, I didn't see it. Maybe an admin could move my post to your thread. Congrats.

I do note that there has been some gender "confusion" in the past. Don't let the visa mislead you. Makes for a more "pc" Board, eh? Of course I could be wrong...

Clearly references checks are happening now and at the same time scheduling interviews. Looking at the timelines of past interviews and reference checks, it sounds like the reference checks may be completed prior to actual interviews dates this time around. Also, it looks like there are additional people being added to the cert(s) as folks decline cities. Some of this is from other posts on the board, and some from a conference call today.

Sratty, do you know if all additional people have been added to the cert that are going to be added? Any idea about new lowest score? Thanks for the intel on behalf of us outsiders;)

Thanks for the intel on behalf of us outsiders;) They (conference call) did not say anything about adding but in another thread someone was just added today. This seems to imply that with so many folks cutting cities, there may be additional people being added as others cut cities. Nothing at all on the score of the one added yet. Waiting on the response on the other thread. The other thread I referenced: aljdiscussion.proboards.com/post/55965/thread

Guess I shouldn't worry about giving up membership in the second certers club just yet:)

I would think someone would have said something by now if this was the case, so my guess is so many are cutting cities that they needed more on the cert(s). After all, it is already 168 for 90 positions. Such incredible odds! Very cool for those on this go round!

Here's the issue with only one person reporting they got a 'late' email - we don't have any idea if it was a second attempt to contact him, or SSA adding to the original cert. A data point of one doesn't even allow wild speculation!

I think the poll on narrowing GALs reflects that most people (at least those that responded) are not cutting cities.

Me too. As long as the board members know who to contact, gender isn't really important ? Too funny!
