Does anyone know if it normal for WesternU to not show up on the portal yet?

Ok thanks so much for the reply! Also on their actual login page my status of application is blank. Was yours like this too?

No prob. Yea, it only says application received so far. I believe they have only sent out one round of interviews so far. The next one should be coming reallllll soon.

First interview

School: University of Tenn
Notification date: July 28th
Method of notification: email
Residency: Arkansas
AADSAS mail-out date: July 5th
Application complete date: July 5th
GPA (science, overall): 3.8/3.7
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 18AA/20TS/18PAT/17RD/19OG/20GC/ QR of 14.

I was shocked to get an interview I'll be even more shocked if I get accepted. I don't think I had a very competitive DAT score. I am 31 and a cancer survivor and I think that may of played a roll, but I'm not sure.

God bless you and I hope and pray you get in!

Hey!

I just got notified that my application has been received by my top choice and am starting to think about interviews. Do you have any advice on how to prepare for ethics and insurance type interview questions? I don't have experience with either of the two and wondering where to look for info/how to know what the admissions panels are looking to hear.

Thanks!
 
it's been a month since my second interview invite... :(
