SMART asking for preference

[Guest]

Hi all,

I have received interviews from the SF's, however I did not receive a call from the SMART scholarship people asking for my preference. Is this a bad thing if we don't get that call?

Thanks.

All of the hiring managers I've spoken to so far have been confused about the time line of SMART. My most recent phone interview was last week, and he said that I should get a call from the smart people sometime in the future. So don't fret, I'm pretty sure there's still time

From my experience, I believe you are only called regarding your preferences if multiple facilities request you for sponsorship. It is a courtesy to help ensure you are matched with your most preferable SF. If there is no conflict between facilities, you will get a selection email at the end of the process and not a phone call. Hope that makes you feel better. You definitely still could be selected.

I got a preference call but only was contacted by one SF
