interview

So a few weeks ago I had an interview at my dream school. I can't be sure, but I think that it went really well. My issue is that at the start of the summer, I was charged with a minor in possession of alcohol misdemeanor a few weeks before my 21st birthday. I talked to an attorney and was able...

I'm using Gmail and Google Calendar right now, but it seems a little overwhelming being attached to my phone 24/7 (or at least during working hours on weekdays), especially when I'm on interviews. Is there an app or program or something to help with this?

Hi everyone!! I have come to the point in the interview process where I have to choose where I wanna go. I think both of the schools have great programs and am wanting to hear other opinions. For all of those who have interviewed/been accepted/attended either of these schools, could you give...

This may be s u p e r early, but just committed to Temple for Fall 2019, and wanted to get the thread going! If you're also joining Class of 2023 - give a shout! (Or if you are considering TUSPM, feel free to post here with any questions, etc.) Pumped and ready for the next four years to come...

Has anyone heard back from MGHIHP? I know they only do interviews for early decision applicants, but they hold an invitational open house in December for regular decision applicants. I'm still waiting to hear back and was wondering if anyone else heard anything. Thanks and best of luck! :)

Has anyone heard from Rosalind Franklin University? I submitted regular decision on 9/12 and received notification on 9/26 that my application file was complete and would be forwarded to be reviewed. I received an email yesterday 10/24 that included: "This is a courtesy notification to make you...

I am a re-applicant and am starting to stress because I have no interviews. I was wondering if anyone is or has been in this situation and could tell me about their experience. Also, any advice on things I can do would be greatly appreciated. I applied to 20 medical schools last cycle and...

So I can understand some of the positive ramifications about being open and honest with them in this regard. If I had a lot of acceptances, or acceptances from better ranked schools, they may consider a scholarship to convince me to come to their program over another etc. Are there any...

Two questions: 1. Do members of the admissions committee ever google or check social media accounts of their applicants? 2. What is the decision process like at medical schools? Are decisions made soon after the interview is over or after several meetings and discussions?

Hello everybody, I recently scored an interview with Midwestern University in Downers Grove! Can anyone who has had an interview here explain to me what the process is like and what types of questions are asked? Thank you,

I'm interviewing at ICO and I was wondering if anyone had any tips/would be able to share their experience. Thanks!

Title says it all. I tried looking online, searching through forums. Does anyone give some tips on contents for letters of interests to programs that I want to interview at but haven't received the invite?

I just received an email from Rutgers inviting me for an interview. Only problem is i already have an interview scheduled on the same day from NYIT. Is it unprofessional to ask Rutgers to change my interview date? If so should I reject NYIT and choose Rutgers?? Any insight would really be helpful

Does anyone have an idea how soon after interviewing a candidate do admissions committees make their decision (pre-December interviews)? I interviewed at a school on Monday and sent my thank you email on Wednesday. I know it doesn't make a difference obviously, but was kind of wondering if...

Hi guys, I was put on hold pre-interview for my top school last week:(. Since I haven't had an interview yet I felt it was a bit premature to write an LOI at this point but I've pretty much made up my mind that I am going to call the admissions office this week to hopefully boost my chance even...

Should I send a post-interview thank you card or email to my interviewers at my top choice school? Does it matter?

Here’s the scenario: You’re on your residency interview day and chatting with some of the residents over lunch, in between or during interviews and you ask them why they came here. They reply with “This is the best residency”. That is a lie. In short, it’s because they’ve only ever been in one...

Hi everyone, I am a little confused on how the interview dates work in terms of future availability. I have been offered my second interview at a school, however, with the available dates I have conflicting commitments at my university. Will more dates become available on the portal that I am...

I apologize if this was mentioned in another thread! I'm not sure how to go about sending this particular thank you letter. My interviewer gave me their business card with their email address and physical address, but this school also has a "Thank You Letter" upload option in their 'Additional...

Is there a rhyme or reason to who gets invited to interviews first? Does it hurt your chances to not be invited during the first batch of invites sent out? According to the spreadsheet it looks like some people are getting interviews before other applicants who (atleast on paper) have...

I just got an II from a school in New York. I'll be driving up from the South. Should I just stick to sending ITA requests to other schools in NYC, or can I also send them to schools in Philly and Connecticut, which are about 1-2 hours away driving distance.

My first interview is on Friday and I fly out for it tomorrow. I had heard that people normally wear suits to the interview, so I put on my navy suit today. I've been hitting the gym a lot for the past couple years since I got that suit and my shoulders and chest are too big for it now. All I...

Carrying on the tradition from years past! Here is a place we can share our thoughts and hopefully help each other out along the way! Everyone is welcome to post their impressions after interviews, and multiple reviews per program are definitely welcomed. Please keep in mind that these posted...

Am i the only one on this boat? I applied in mid july and still have yet to receive any rejections nor any interviews since.

Hi everyone, I am seeking advice before confirming my second interview this season. I am currently scheduled for an interview 50 min from my house in Washington DC this month on the 24th. (Wednesday). I’m considering scheduling another interview on the 26th, however this will be in Vermont...

Hi all! I was fortunate enough to receive my first II the other day. In previous years, I know that an II held a good amount of weight and it meant the school was serious about you. Is this any different this year due to the new traffic rules? This may seem like a silly question, but I am a...

Does anyone have post-interview acceptance rates for DO schools? I'm specifically interested in NYITCOM Old Westbury's campus acceptance rate. It would be tremendously helpful if anyone could share!

Hi! Can anyone tell me what the interviews were like for either Bryn Mawr or Goucher? I'm nervous for mine and it would help to have an idea of what to expect. Thanks! Amalia23

Hi everyone! I submitted my secondaries very early on, and have not heard anything back with regards to interviews. I'm starting to think that my list may have been too top-heavy (MCAT 521, cGPA 3.6, sGPA 3.5), I applied to mostly top 20 schools. Do y'all think it would be worth it for me to...

ORM TX Resident (3.95 sGPA, 3.96 cGPA, 518 MCAT) 23 MD, 23 secondaries, 6 IIs (TX only), 3 Rs (OOS only), silence from everywhere else. All secondaries complete mid-late July. Should I expect any OOS interviews at this point? All OOS schools were Top 30 schools. I've been hearing more about how...

So I have applied to both MD and DO programs and have been fortunate enough to receive 4 MD and 3 DO interviews. Given that I am interested in dermatology, I would like to attend an MD program. However, if DO is my only option, I would rather go that route than wait another year and re-apply. My...

Some of these tips are obvious, some less so. All are important and will help you maintain a sense of professionalism, project confidence, reduce anxiety, and prove to the interviewer that you’re a top med school shoo-in. Make sure you smile. Chances are, your interviewer will smile back. This...

Hi! I am one of the PM&R residents at Beaumont Hospital in Taylor, Michigan and I am writing this on behalf of my program. I want to let those interested in PM&R know that our program is "new" as it recently transitioned from Wayne State University to Beaumont Health. The program originally...

Or does everyone get that? They said stuff like "you have an impressive resume" and "I hope to see you next year." This was at UVA, by the way.

My application has been under review since early to mid-July. Now, I know I'm not the most competitive applicant this cycle, but is there really a chance I won't hear back from some programs until possibly March?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone applied to Jefferson and got an interview? Also for current students, is it hard to maintain a 3.0 GPA?

Hi! I am a senior applying to only Texas schools this cycle. I recently took my DAT on August 6th. It was on the lower end. (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 18/18/21/19/13 in QR. These are also my GPA's as stated on my application: Overall GPA: 3.47 Overall BCPM GPA: 3.37 Undergrad...
