Appeals Process?

[daisy000]

I know that not everyone receives a bid. I'm saying I was a qualified candidate, and everyone I've spoken to is absolutely shocked I didn't get a bid.

I will only say that I did everything right except that interview. My GPA is above the average, I am extremely involved on campus + volunteering off campus, I connected with alumni who came to colonize. I took nothing for granted and I went through the entire process.

So the only thing that stands out to me as not great, was the interview. I just feel I was judged in the interview before being able to express who I am. I was one of the last interviews and it almost felt like she was tired of interviewing women.

First, I have to say that you may feel you were "qualified" but you don't even know what criteria the organization is looking for. You have no idea what kind of mix they were trying to create with the women that they chose to offer bids to.

I guarantee you that there were LOTS of qualified women who interviewed and not all of them received bids. Being qualified doesn't get you membership.

I am very sorry that it did not work out for you. You can't always get what you want.

"everyone I've spoken to is absolutely shocked I didn't get a bid"=/= the woman who interviewed you.

You need to move past that assumption before you do anything else.

Exactly. And I'm wondering who she spoke to.

daisy000, if you're referring to the colony members, keep in mind that they didn't get to decide who joined. Every single one of them could have wanted you to be their sister, but that doesn't mean much this time around. However, they could very well want you as a sister when they participate in their first recruitment. Keep in touch with them, and all could work out as you had hoped; it might just take a little longer than you originally thought.
