I applied to three boys elementry schools in Lakewood and I have not heard back from any in regards to scheduling an interview. How long does it take for schools to get back to an applicant for an interview. TIA

We applied to four schools and only heard back from one school.... two weeks ago. I don't know if every school has their own schedule of doing things, or it means we shouldn't hold our breath...

Call them and ask them - u don’t want to end up stuck. Ask them if they started any interviews....

I don't think there's much to prepare. They asked my son if he recognized some of the Alef beis, some comprehension questions, following directions... nothing we could have prepared him for.

I just got a rejection letter from the only school that gave us an interview. What do I do now?

I guess call them and try to see if you can push yourself in. Also call the schools that have not given u interviews. Sometimes they interview and accept pple, and then see who of those pple will actually send to them. If not all do they may do a 2nd round of interviews.

It’s a terrible feeling but Don’t take it as an “end of the road” - if you think this school makes sense for you (or others that didn’t give an interview) and that they don’t have a reason for not accepting other than lack of space, keep working at it. If you’re tired and had enough, you can wait til the vaad helps place somewhere, but If you’re interested/willing to keep working on it, then you should.
