I would like to thank both of you for your spirited replies. They are entertaining and informative. Once again, thank you.

Regarding the greater question... it doesn't sound like that will necessarily disqualify you. There've been plenty of people around here who have said that they've received offers for places that weren't anywhere near where they put down. There's also people who've put down a couple of places and have received nothing.

If I were in your place -- and remember, I don't really have any more experience than you, being at the same exact stage in the process -- I wouldn't restrict myself to just one tower. Take advantage of the comment box. I put something along the lines of "Prefer Seattle (SEA/ZSE) and San Francisco (SFO). Willing to consider positions throughout the nation if necessary". ...hopefully they'll read it if Seattle and SF are full, eh?

Prefer would definitely be along the lines of what I would put in the comment box. Thanks.

I put something along the lines of, "I am specifically interested in Clark County". The comments box DOES ask for counties, not specific facilities.

Again, this is from that one woman who seems to hate us all, so take it with a grain of salt.

Mid-February is wrong. Mid-January is right.

Panels are only quarterly, so the next one wouldn't be until April, anyhow. That's why us PUBNAT3ers had to wait until January after PUBNAT2, despite being done testing for THREE MONTHS.

It's all good... when we were thinking that 2+3 might've been combined, I was sincerely hoping they wouldn't be. Now that I'm on the other end of things, I hope 3+4 are combined

So I totally know where you're coming from and I hope we can still be friends even if they do combine them

Did anyone in Pubnat3 not get a geo prefs e-mail? I scored 91 but didn't get an e-mail. I'm registered with a gmail account I don't use very often. I didn't get it in my inbox and I only had 3 e-mails in spam and it wasn't in there too.

Does anyone have a phone number and possibly a name of someone I can call to help with finding out why I might not have gotten it?

Of kaws. To be honest, I empathize with your situation, and have a feeling I might be in a similar one myself soon, which is only exacerbated by HR's latest fück-up with my application.

To my knowledge, there was only one person on the various forums who mentioned passing but not receiving a geo. pref. e-mail -- they had a 75.

Just a few things to consider, as to why they might not've sent one, despite a 91:
- Not marking "Yes" to being interested in temporary work (This is so serious that some people were not selected at all...even Veterans).
- The personality assessment part of the AT-SAT (I am not sure if it is counted in your SCORE, or as a component afterwards...just a possibility)
- Criminal history (to my knowledge, they don't look at it yet, but they MIGHT have checked simply for felonies, not misdemeanors, etc.)
- HR error: This is most likely. Those idiots changed my AT-SAT score on ASAP over 3 mos. after I took it...for the WORSE.

I use a gmail account and got the email preference in my inbox. So I would definitely call and find out what happened.

Mine was gmail, too. No spam box involvement -- it was sitting right there in my inbox.
