Guys, can someone help me with this question! For the bench exam, do schools ask students/applicants to prepare and index before the preparation is begun????
Thanks

so interview dates out for august too ? how many days or weeks before interview do they inform.??
Not an exact science! There's no right or precise answer for this one...
Last year I know that many got the invite between 2 weeks and 1 month and a half prior to the date. But at the same time one of my classmates got his invitation just like 3 or 4 days prior to the IV.
thanks
all rightie! so i still waiting waiting

any comments about my chances to get any IV call. ?????????
i know these are numbers arent impressive so i wont mind any NOs or straight forward answers.
Congrats, I like this relaxed attitude, you may contact the school but do not tell them about the cruise..I got an interview just an hour ago for August 7! Woooowww)))) But the problem is I have a cruise that time! What to do? Rescedule interview at a later date? Is it gonna lower my chances?

Ok, so I'm pretty sure you know what people will tell you.
So to fix this: Do your Part 2!! Trust me it helps! Aside from DA, add some work shadowing if you can. Finally make sure your LORs, personal statement, and resume are flawless! Everyone still has a chance. These stats are just a portion of what they look at. They look at you as a whole. I'm sure you'll get in somewhere. Just keep improving and working hard. Don't stray away from your goals and keep believing. I do the same myself, and I know one day our time will come!
I wish I could, but I cant!i thing that u should definitively change your cruise date!!!
Yeah, I have part 1 - 96, paert 2 -passed, Toefl 93, GPA 3.71Barbie21, do you have nbde part 2 taken?
super!!!they should take w/o iv, hihiYeah, I have part 1 - 96, paert 2 -passed, Toefl 93, GPA 3.71
loooooooollllllllllll))))))))))))super!!!they should take w/o iv, hihi
I agree.. Hey Barbie when did you apply?super!!!they should take w/o iv, hihi
I got the application complete e-mail in the mid of JuneI agree.. Hey Barbie when did you apply?
with these scores i think they will grant u another date, i mean i don't think u are the only one who does that. and if u are not from illinois is even better, cause u need to travel bla bla.
But the point is not in changing, the point is if appear at a later date there will be less seats available, because with each interview they may fill up the seats. Am I right? Or the decision is made after all interviews are done?i think who send the iv letter does not have anything to the admission committee, i don t think they will start to check who change the date. but is just my opinion

I got mine in June 11, to give u the exact dayis there only one person who got iv yesterday? or they are done with it. if they are following rolling basis for iv then i got my application complete email on june 8 and barbie21 got it on mid of june so i think for me there is no point in waiting for iv.
Thank u for yr advice, I think u are right. From the side I would give the same advice to a person in my shoes. But I am that kind of person, that ...I worry a lot about everything...and I decided not to change the date in order not to regret later in case if not accepted. I already confirmed the interview.I don't think it's this complicated, and most of the people would be friendly if you call cause that's the coordinator's job. If that were me, I'll call and ask what do they have and if that is going to affect my chances of acceptance, and will share with them all of my concerns. If the scores don't play a very big roll like hope said( he might be right or not), in that case a phone call and asking to change the date won't a big deal cause they want to interview the applicant to know him/her more.. Just don't tell them it's a cruise. That's my personal opinion, you don't have to go for it.

How much was the acceptance fee last year?
Usually it is, in order to hold the seat. It ranges from 2500-5000 in different universities. And u have to pay it during psrticular period, from the date they said u accepted, usualy a month.

For those asking for info about the IV don't expect many answers!!!
Obvious reasons: technically you are all 'competition', don't think that someone will just come over here and put everything about the IV... It wouldn't be fair neither it would be ethical. And even if someone just posted here about the IV how could you tell that it was just a distraction, or that the info was accurate? Would you just go with it?
On last year's thread there might've been a couple of people that gave some info about the IV, but that was pretty much it. I remember that I used to post on last year's thread but I didn't remember posting much about my IV or anything like that, I think that after I got the acceptance I gave some general info (pretty much what I had on the invitation email), but by them IVs were already over, and I absolutely didn't give away any specifics...
For those that were on todays batch (5 or 6, can't remember exactly), I was the one with navy blue scrubs, and Braulia me asked to tell you guys about what we've done so far this semester. (if you want to keep in touch send me a pm)
Good luck to you all!
