interview

I am a high school senior. I recently got an interview for the VCU Guaranteed Dental program. Are the interviews for these programs different than the interviews for dental school? Do you guys have any tips specific to the BS/DDS interview?

Hi all! I am preparing for upcoming interviews and would like to have some resumes on hand. The problem is I have about 50 (ok maybe not that many) different versions of my resume tailored to different jobs or opportunities in the past. My question is: what sections would you include on a...

Hey everyone! What have been some non-traditional interview questions you have been asked at your interviews? A lot of schools seem to ask about your non-academic achievements and I'm trying to think of a good response to this question. I was thinking of talking about the time I won the regional...

Comparing EMS and scribing: "While physicians always seemed happy to see you made connections or were following their line of thinking about complicated issues in the note, it so happens many people in EMS would usually consider you a smartass for saying something to the effect of "neurological...

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for the UAB group interview. It is my first physical therapy school interview, so I'm a little nervous. Has anyone interviewed there in prior years or interviewed somewhere else with a group interview?

I have an interview coming up at my alma mater. I lost a family member to pancreatic cancer and got involved in pancreatic cancer research for 3 years with 2 publications, in a prestigious lab at that school. I know the Chief of Surgical Oncology and interviewed him for a documentary I did for a...

Hi! I have a JAMP interview coming up very soon and I'm not completely sure what to expect, or how to approach it since the interview is not to get into a specific med school. In preparing for the interview, I realized there won't be any questions geared to any med school in specific. So...

Hey you guys I have a questión, I was recently asked to be interviewed by ScribeAmerica, and they gave me a check in date on the email, which I was supposed to click as a RSVP, along with other information, but I never got told the time of the interview, is that normal. Will they call me the day...

Most of the question is evident in the title, but I should clarify that I'm personally interested in one on one interviews (well my interview will have 2 interviewers, a faculty member and a current or former student) not group. Of course it might be interesting to hear about group interviews as...

I have an interview in January for the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy. They changed the interview process to MMI this year so I was wondering if any of you have any tips to prepare. If by chance any of you interviewed early for UNM I would appreciate some feedback on the new...

Most applicants come away from their first med school interview saying, “that wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.” As in many areas of life, the anticipation of a stressful event can be worse than the event itself. Although many med schools work hard to make applicants feels relaxed, this...

Hello everyone, I received an interview invite from Touro College Pharmacy in New York. I did some research on the school and noticed that they are currently accredited but on probation. I also see that this is their 2nd time on probation. Their tuition is higher than California's schools. What...

Hey guys! I was wondering when the latest TX dental schools usually offer interviews. I applied a couple of weeks before the deadline (applied in mid-September) and have received an interview from only one Texas school. Getting a little worried. Anyone have any thoughts/experience with this?

In short, applied to IM programs in Sept without CK score. CK came out recently, i emailed programs i've applied to so they know. Im thinking about applying to more IM programs where the deadline is late Dec or early Jan. Would this be a waste of money as most programs have already filled...

I submitted in November and have heard back from a couple schools about how they are waiting for the rest of my materials. (OAT will be taken soon, LORs were recently finished) Anyone know if they might extend interviews before OAT or how long after receiving your scores they will reach out to...

Does anyone know if this can happen? I know usually schools will give out their scholarships to students during the first round of acceptances because they really want those students in their class. But does anyone know if you can still be offered scholarships if you get an interview after the...

Hi, I have been looking into the DVM/PhD track for the majority of my undergraduate career and just received word today that I have been invited to interview! I have scoured SDN for more information about the interview process but a lot of it is outdated. Has anyone gone through the process...

I could not find a thread for UCSF so I wanted to start one, I am assuming since they are a three year curriculum now the class is the same as last years threads. I applied November 2017. Has anyone gotten interview invites yet?!

I could not find a thread for UCSF so I wanted to start one. Has anyone gotten interview invites yet?!

I have a really dumb question. I saw the thread about how not showing up to medical school interviews without informing them first is really unprofessional and could potentially burn bridges in terms of residency chances. I just wanted to confirm that denoting a school on AMCAS, receiving a...

Anyone heard anything from Methodist? I interviewed last Friday and I'm just wondering if anyone has received an email yet.

I have a few questions about the interview season: 1) Considering its early December, if I haven't heard back from a school (i.e. no interview and no rejection) should I consider that I will eventually get rejected? I ask because I still have 15+ schools I still have to hear back from. 2) I...

Very simple question: "What do you do for fun?" A) "I enjoy playing chess, going swimming, and watching horror movies with friends. I feel chess really helps me to train my mind by encouraging me to always think several moves ahead and be careful about the decisions I make, because seemingly...

So, I know this is an extremely school specific question, but I am just curious in general if most schools wait to re-review applicants on hold until after the secondary deadline when they know that they have their entire application pool for a given cycle? and because of this is there...

I'm starting this thread as December 1st is quickly approaching (and also to procrastinate on finishing up my final applications)! Post your invitations here and I will update often. Below is the format for posting that has been used in the past: School Name: Date Interview Invite Received...

I have an interview in a few days, and I just watched Part 1 of the Kevin Ahern's Guide to Acing a Medical School Interview (). I learned a lot and found his advice valuable, but I thought two of his advice points were a bit questionable. I was wondering if any of you could let me know your...

I have my first OOS interview soon. I was wondering if it is recommended/appropriate to have a small notebook filled with questions in front of me during my interview. The only time I would look at it or open it would be at the end of the interview when I ask questions. Thank you!

Hey guys, so I took my DAT a few months ago for the 2nd time and got a 16AA, which was worse than the 1st time I took it which was a 17AA. I took it after submitting my app and got an interview for my in state school. Everything went great but I just got a call today that the admissions...

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a new thread this year for all applicants applying for admission of Fall 2018! Has anyone applied, or had an interview, or heard back yet?

Does anyone know how many students are generally accepted here on Dec 1? I know the class is a size of 64, but do they accept more than that? Also, how many usually interview here? Thank you in advance!

So I'm kind of at a standstill about what to do here. I applied late cycle and did not give the whole process much thought. As you would expect, I didn't receive many interview invites (1 to be exact). I was overly nervous and the result was a post II rejection. I boosted my application this...

Hi everyone, hope you're enjoying the interview season and getting to meet some awesome Med-Peds people! I thought it would be helpful to start a thread where people can post their thoughts on both interviews as well as anything they want to share about their home institutions. Googledoc link is...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone has received word on invites to interview for Chatham's MOT program yet. I know the last email that I received from them stated "invites may come anytime between now and late November" for an interview day of December 2nd. I'm just anxious and would preferably...

I am an allopathic medical graduate applying for residency. I did an observership for a certain residency program over the summer to get some clinical experience since I am no longer in medical school. Also, I wanted to demonstrate that I am interested in the program and hopefully get an...
