Scheduled my interview for next Saturday 9/10! Can any current students comment on the 24 minute traditional interview? Stressful, relaxed, open or closed file? Thanks!

Overall it is pretty relaxed. They have some of your info but not your complete file so if there is something that stands out on it and they don't ask about it, make sure you bring it up.

Really enjoyed my interview at MU-COM today! Very impressive school and the MMI was actually pretty cool. It flew by. Can't wait to hear back! Also Bryan Moody is awesome. Good luck everyone!

In terms of stressfulness where would you rank the interview on a scale of 1-10? Read something earlier saying it was crazy intense.

Maybe 2. I had a drastically different experience from that person luckily. My heart rate was probably like 200+ while reading the first prompt posted on the door but I immediately relaxed once I met my interviewer. All 3 of them were very easy going, they didn't try to trick me at all. They were just trying to see if I'm a normal human being with emotions and not a robot. I really enjoyed them!

I agree, I interviewed yesterday and it was a very good experience. Those about to interview shouldn't stress about it.

Already getting nervous and second-guessing my performance during my interviews!! Really hope we hear back this week. Would likely cancel the rest of my interviews if accepted!

Every other interview besides KCU lol. I'm leaving for KC tomorrow and it's another top choice of mine. If I'm as impressed by KCU at the interview and end up being accepted to both I would have a really hard time deciding! That is if I even get accepted to either...*nervous*

Do you feel your interview went well? I thought all 3 of mine went really well so I was surprised to get alternate listed. Could be my MCAT scores as well.

Yeah I thought my interview went really well actually. I was waitlisted here last year as well (albeit I applied and interviewed in May) so I was hoping this time around I would be accepted. Again its not the worst thing -- we do have a pretty good shot at getting in judging by their interview/accepted ratio. I could really see myself at this school so I'm gonna stay optimistic.

I will ask them about movement of the alternate list in October though. I have a couple more interviews coming up
 
What were all of your stats? I was waitlisted as well. You can dm me if you dont want to say them on the thread.

Finally complete! submitted 8/19
 
Hey, guys. does anyone know what the acceptance procedure is for this school (how long after acceptance is offered until deposit is due, is deposit refundable, how much is the deposit...?)
 
Has anyone been placed on post secondary hold and gotten an email about them re-reviewing your app or gotten an interview yet? I was placed on hold over a month ago and the email stated that they would look at my application again in a month or sooner.

My app was put on hold post secondary and then I received an interview. IMO Marian does a great job of reviewing apps on hold and on the alternate list.

I keep refreshing my email like every minutes :( Complete on August 31 so I'm hoping to hear something soon! Would love to attend this school. Are we given some kind of a decision regardless of whether or not we are invited for an interview?

Yup they let you know if you are accept or reject pre interview, as well as if you are on hold pre interview. Don't fret! This is the busy time of the cycle!
