Hey guys, I'm an MS1 @ USU (USAF) and I can give you guys some insights in regards to interviews.
1. How do I get to campus?
I would advise just taking a cab from the airport (I had to take a red-eye flight from CA to MD), or if you're staying with your sponsor, have him/her give you a ride. Keep in mind that the university is currently going through a lot of rearranging and construction, so your sponsor may offer to go on the Metro with you as most of us will not be able to park in the USU parking garage for awhile. Also, make sure to arrive not "too" early because the security will not have your name on the list until 0600 (or so.. I think) and you will not be able to enter the campus.
2. What do I do w/ our suitcases?
You leave them at the admissions office. They also have fresh pastries and coffee for all of you to enjoy, so relax!
3. What's the interview day like?
You come in, listen to the briefings, interview, and listen to more introductions, and go on tours. PM me if you're interested in my experience, and I will reply to them as soon as I can. Or, you can also come to the USU open house this coming Monday and I will be there to answer some questions.
4. What do I do after the interview?
Go back home stress-free! Go ahead and arrange your transportation back to the airport (in my case, I was lucky to find a few students who were driving back to the airport).
5. Which branch do I pick?
First of all, I'm sure all of you know that you HAVE to pick the branch of your choice at the day of the interview. Which branch you pick will also affect your acceptance as each branches only accept a certain number of students (i.e. AF is the least, then Navy, then Army), but don't let that judge your decision of picking the branch. I personally picked AF because I'm not a swimmer and I would rather fly than ride Humvees around lol.
Last but not least, you'll do fine. For those of you who haven't gotten the invite, stay strong- it will happen. You can PM me if you want to ask me about my journey to med schools lol
