Just a quick question here, for anyone who can answer...
Are the applications that were sent (via the website, prior to the April 1st deadline) being reviewed yet? If so, can we know when abouts we might hear back on yes/no/maybe so decisions (and, if not, can someone say how long, in general, it normally takes between submitting an application and receiving some sort of response?)? :)
Hmmm.. yeah, I've been checking my email (and spam folders) pretty regularly, and haven't gotten anything. Also been checking the "Apply" page on play.net here, and haven't seen any "reviewer's comments" yet, either.
I'll give it to two weeks from the April 1st deadline, and then I guess I'll email the GM who posted the news/announcement about it.

Speaking from personal experience, I am a mentor and have been for a bit now, when I sent in my application I got no feedback, nor answering email. In fact I actually kind of forgot that I sent in my application when I got an email requesting an interview. I'm hoping that in the future we can change that, we do try to get in touch with all applicants to thank them for their application but we've had a very high level of interest this time around. I'm familiar with who you are and next time I talk to Paersi I'll personally ask her about your application and get back to you as soon as I possibly can. We are happy that so many people are interested in making Gemstone IV a better place and we will be looking into EVERY applicant because we want your input to help the Mentors be a better place.

Hello!
I remember when I applied to mentors, I had a similar experience as Naitalya and I can see why it would be frustrating. I will look into ways of improving the application process and I appreciate your feedback.
For the sake of transparency, I will tell you that when I get an application, I have to go through a rather lengthy (yet necessary) process to determine if an applicant is eligible. After that, we typically set up an interview. This time around, we had the happy misfortune of having almost 30 eligible applicants. (Which I admittedly squealed with glee over!) Because the student Mentors participate in a community-style training led by our Training Council and other mentors, it is important to keep the class sizes small. We typically take no more than five people per class.
I have begun setting up the first interviews for the upcoming class. If you did not receive an email, that does not mean you will not receive an email in the near future. We will absolutely be working our way through the entire list of eligible applicants.
Thank you so much for your interest!
