Members don't see this ad :)
It's through both. An email and a hard copy. But all the dates I've seen are from the week before yours or earlier, so you still have time.
 
I interviewed today and LOVED this school. Everyone I met was so friendly, and the interview was so laid back it made me feel right at home. I was so impressed by this school, I really hope I get in. Fingers crossed!

I've deactivated my Facebook since January... I guess I have a reason to go on again now :) It would be nice if someone can set up a group!

The UNECOM Class of 2018 Facebook group has been one of the best assets I could ever ask for. It's basically the only reason I log on FB. We all share resources, study guides, events, etc, it's really awesome.

who is interviewing on November 11th with me? Apparently I am sharing a shuttle from the Ramada inn with another person. Hello friend!
 
Anyone interviewing on Nov. 20th? I was invited originally for Dec. 4th but had to switch to a different date and luckily someone cancelled on Nov. 20th. Kind of nervously preparing now as this will be my first med school interview ever.

really don't be nervous. awesome interview day. everyone is extremely nice and the interview is very low stress, I promise! just know yourself, why medicine, and a few things about UNE that you like (as others have mentioned). good luck!
 
I'm freakin out people! Interview coming up. First one. What was yours like :bucktooth:

You have nothing to worry about. It's the most laid back, conversational interview you'll ever have. Know your application well and your reasons for pursuing different activities but besides that, just be personable and friendly. The staff emphasized throughout the day that they don't believe in stress interviews and they would just like to get to know you.

It was really chill. I tried to enjoy the process as much as possible and get to know the school. The students are super friendly and willing to answer any questions. The interviewers that I had responded positively to my responses and I think that helped with my confidence throughout the interview. I personally thought it was a good place to start for my first one too.

Anyone know about the turn around period by UNECOM
 
Is it Ok to call them and ask about application status?
 
They are pretty responsive to email, but I've never called even though I've been complete since 10/21.
 
Anyone knows how to pronounce UNECOM? Is it like "uni-com"? And is this how you would refer to the school during the interview? Or should I say the University of New England?
 
Ahh they just told me they made a decision and I will receive my letter at the end of this week! I interviewed 10/2 it's been so long! I'm a little non-trad and they had to research some of my circumstances before making a decision, I am hoping they would not go through all the trouble to research if they didn't want to accept me!

I emailed and they responded within 2 minutes, said I'm still "under review"

Yup they are quick! Guess that mean I am too! Lol. If I remember correctly we have similar stats. I was a little late getting verified though.
 
Hey guys, I have an interview question. Do the interviewers tell you their email addresses so you can send a note or do you have to ask or....? This is my first interview and I am totally clueless! :confused:

My interviewer gave me a business card with the email address already on there. If he or she doesn't give you one, I would just ask for it at the end

Yeah my interviewers at the end were just like " If you have any questions feel free to e-mail us and ask us. And the student interviewer just ripped a piece of notebook paper out and both interviewers wrote their emails on them." I just sent a thank you e-mail to both :D

Yep. That's how they pronounced it!

I asked them for their full name at the end of the interview and just dug around the school website for their email addresses :)
 
For those who were accepted, has anyone received the official letter in the mail yet? I was just wondering what I was suppose to expect...

Yeah, I did. It's the exact same letter you get as an attachment in the email with nothing else included.

I'm tempted to go and pretend I'm interviewing with a group. Just be there at the tables, pretending to be all anxious in a suit and talk to everyone :laugh: I'm not beyond real world mischief.

Do any students curently do research or have done research over the summer? I am very interested in their Neuroscience center and pain research. Also, completely unrelated but do M1's have cars on campus or is public transportation good enough to travel from downtown Biddeford to campus, Saco, and Portland? How do people find housing/roomates in downtown?

When interviewing, they always say oh yeah lots of people do research, but never seems to be anyone you meet. It is more common over the summer, and the research positions pay $15 an hour. Not bad, this is what I was told at said interview.

My interviewers told me that its often hard for students to find time to do research during the school year, but it's definitely possible.

$15 per hour isn't bad at all ._.

Can you bring a small hand luggage to the admissions when you have your interview if you are checking out that morning and leaving after interview?

That shouldn't be a problem. I'm pretty sure that they could have a space for you to put it in. Everyone at UNECOM is extremely relaxed and supportive to any of your needs.
