JUST GOT ACCEPTED!!!

Congrats! How did you prepare for the interview? What type of questions did they ask you and what did you think? I have an interview on 11/4 and I'm trying to figure out how to prep.

I just practiced answering questions like "Why medicine/Why DO/Why LMU?". This was probably the most laid back interview I've had...it was very conversational. I think they literally only asked me those 3 questions plus a question about my study habits and how I would adapt to a small town coming from a big city.
I agree with the other poster about not wanting to sound too rehearsed. You should know what you want to say but say it naturally. Also, I would come up with a couple of good questions about the school!
The most important thing is to relax! Good luck!
I know it's super early, but does anyone know when the class Facebook page usually gets created?
Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
It is closed file. They know nothing about you except what you tell them during your interviewDoes anyone know if their interview is closed or open file?
Is there a Facebook page or something similar for those who accepted the offer of admission?
Anyone have an average or their own experience in how long it took to receive an II after getting the "file is now complete" email?
Current students: How do you travel on breaks if you want to go home and are out of state? I've heard people fly out of Knoxville, but where would you leave your car?
I interviewed 10/14 as well! Hope to see you in July!Received the acceptance email today! I didn't get a call on Friday so I thought that I had been waitlisted or rejected! I interviewed on 10/14.

I guess they've been behind! I had been complete since late July and I called them in August to ask about it and then my status switched to complete and I got an II shortly afterWeird situation here.. I got the "file complete" e-mail early this morning and received an interview invite like 3 hours later? I submitted at the end of July and had my secondary in early September. I wonder why it took so long to process?
I got waitlisted. Does anyone know the chances of me getting in? HELP!
Pretty good actually. I got waitlisted then eventually got accepted when interviews ended (x number of years ago lol). The easiest thing to do, is to keep moving forward with your life. Keep building on your resume as if you were going to reapply next year. I don't say that as if you to plan on it happening, but it is a good thing to show the school that you are still active and are still improving yourself. This next comment is always a "yes do it" or "no don't do it" type thing. I am a believer of sending the dcom admissions staff an update letter reaffirming your intent to attend the school. Yes, everywhere on SDN it says "don't do that, it's a love letter and it goes into the trash" but I improved my application, included the new bits of info and emailed the school my intent to attend and I really think that that is what helped push my application over the edge. If you wish to send one, improve your application a good amount, then e-mail them the update around march or april.
How quickly did you find you were admitted after the acceptance deadline? How do the build the waitlist? Just a little bummed because I had great scores, currently work in the ER and had a good GPA.
Accepted as of yesterday!
According to the admissions director, about 70 students move off the wait list, so chances of going from waitlist to accepted seems good!
Good luck with your interview! This interview is the most laid back interview I have had thus far out of 3. It feels like a casual conversation. There's also a student panel interview where you get to know med students and they get to know you, which was also relaxed. I would say know your "why medicine" statement and share interesting things about yourself.Mind sharing your stats? I have an interview soon and I'm nervous.How did you think the interview went?

My GPA is a 3.7 and science GPA is 3.5. MCAT is 509. The campus is stunning and everything looks brand new! Awesome match percentages as well. Plus everyone is super friendly!

Did people go in jeans? Or just strict business clothes?

Student panel was 2 med students with 3-4 interviewees. Questions came from both ends. Really casual.Thanks! Was the student panel interview you vs. a couple of medical students? And did they ask you questions during the student panel interview?
I have no idea how they create the waiting list, but they said at the interview stage 70% get accepted.Do you know how they create the waitlist? Does it depend on interview dates or scores?
According to the website the match rate for last year was 99.5%. All the students that I spoke with said everyone who went through the curriculum and who was on top of their stuff matched, so it was not something to worry about.What is their match percentage?

I' didn't go and I still got indo people actually go to the dinner? what if i skipped it? I just would rather rest and read over my app and what not.
I would go to the dinner if possible. It gave me good things to talk about during my interview and helped me elaborate on the question "Why LMU?"do people actually go to the dinner? what if i skipped it? I just would rather rest and read over my app and what not.
