I got the email about self scheduling. Since I will be flying in from a small airport with varying fares depending on the travel dates, I'll likely try to match the testing/interview dates with the dates I can get the lowest airfare. You know, just to add another layer of stress and all... You do realize that in this process, unlike diving, there are no points added for degree of difficulty.

Christina - unless they change the format drastically, you won't need heels for testing. It's just you, the other applicants, the proctors, and the computers. It's an easy walk. Metro crowding depends on time of day and which line you're taking, but unless it's rush hour, you can usually find space.

Have the interviews always been held at the Embassy Suites? Does anyone know if the interviews scheduled for next week are also being held there? Just wondering if we can expect ours will also be held there.

Expect them to be there. Got Intel on this point. Intel is not a guarantee.

As someone new to life inside the gov'ment world, can I just say that there is nothing more government then sending an email out telling people "in 2 days you will need to schedule 2 travel days" ..... But nowhere in the email DOES IT SAY WHAT PERIOD OF TIME WE ARE SCHEUDLING FOR!!

judically, yeah!!! i talked to my mom on that. she has both govt and private experience. Told her we do not find out interview times and location until after we are done with test. i am hoping interviews will be at Embassy Suites but who knows. i told her all i know is the interview is somewhere in DC(and imo that is a rather BIG somewhere) the next day and that may be all i know until testing day, to which mom said, typical government..... We both agreed it was nice we at least get to set the test date though..

Agreed Christina & JI. It's insane for personal scheduling purposes, work & flights.

Got email and guess i gotta stay up Sunday to be ready at midnight. Or is that too much? Not too much by my book, although I'm on the West coast, so, 9:01 for me! Panic city here!! Internet has been down in my area since Friday night, limited access right now. Prepping for alternate access point!

Yep, I realize that, and suddenly feel pleased relieved that my internet seems to be working fine -- so far.

October through Mid December. I picked a date in November. Mon-Thursday. Whatever date we pick, our SI will automatically be the next day. Time unknown until after WD testing.

Me too. Dates are 10/5 through 12/17. Went with 11/19. Have friends that live in Arlington, so won't need to try and rush out of DC on Friday night. Hear good things about Jack Rose, so may have to stop in when all is said and done.
