Hi,

I was recently accepted to the EPIK program and my documents were sent and received (by a recruiter-Gone2Korea) in early June.

Does anyone have any idea/experience as to when actual contracts are typically sent out for those hired for the Fall?

Thanks for your time!

You should receive it end of July. then you'll have to send your documents to a korean embassy in US for your visa.. This only takes about three days. Good luck!

I'm in the same boat. Passed the interview in early may, submitted my documents (through Gone2Korea) in early June, and now I'm waiting for a Notice of Appointment. I've been getting pretty anxious.

I wasn't sure how certain the deal is yet. So if I passed the interview an submitted my application, how certain is it?

From what the recruiter told me as long as all the documents were done correctly its pretty certain you'll get an NOA if you sent your documents in June.

But yeah, I really wish they would say for sure, and be specific about when the NOAs are going to be sent. Im getting hella anxious myself.

You should check out the Facebook group (type in EPIK Fall 2011). Some people have received their contracts and bought plane tickets already. It seems the first wave of contracts were sent with orientation info. Others, like myself, are still waiting. Also, if you applied to SMOE, it is taking them longer to send a response.
