interview

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...

Everyone share your application status and if called for an interview , please share us your interview experience.

I was invited to interview at SGU less than a week after I applied. Obviously I was thrilled, but I can't help thinking that they don't do thorough file reviews until after interviews or something. Has anyone else experienced this? My interview is next week, so any tips would also be great...

I've answered all the other questions on the application for this Pharm. School Liaison position, but this question absolutely lost me. What ideas are there for such a simple and straightforward rank? Does anyone have any ideas? Anything would be great lol.

I am applying to urology this cycle and only have 2 letters of recommendation uploaded so far. I am waiting on my other letter writers to upload. I sent my application in with the 2 letters before the release date Sept 15th. Will programs consider my application incomplete and either not look at...

Welcome to the post-ERAS-submission world! Congratulations on getting this far! Let's get this thread started. Stealing this template from the thread from two years ago. 1) Keep the list in the body when you reply. 2) Please sort alphabetically by state. 3) Try to say what school/program you...

Hi, I've had 3 interviews (2 top 20) so far and after each one I come out feeling very unsatisfied with how the conversations went. Of course, I've made small adjustments with my answers/techniques since my first interview, but I still feel like I am unable to "crack" the interviewer and connect...

Happy ERAS opening day tomorrow! Wanted to start this thread so we could all collab and discuss as the interview trail unfolds. Best of luck to everyone!

Just curious since I can't find this data anywhere. How many people did UF Dental interview vs how many they accepted?

Hi all, This is my first time posting. I am a first time applicant and so far I feel like I've grasped the process. Submitted my primary on June 4th, secondaries in timely manners. I have a decent app, but I know nothing about the post-secondary application process. Some of my friends have...

Hey everyone! I wanted to reach out to current PT students and alumni who attended DMU. I would like to get your insight on the program. Any feedback helps!

Hi everyone, I'm a woman who wears hijab and also has been engaged for more than a year. I wear a simple diamond ring on my left hand, and swap between wearing my headscarf the "classic" way that looks obviously Muslim and a style that is more like a head-wrap (showing my neck). I'm a...

Hello, I was just wondering if it's appropriate to print the list of questions I've prepared for the interviewer. Thanks!

I thought I’d start a thread to track interviews invites and dates. Storm Eye Institue/MUSC: (email 8/13) Interview 9/14 Doheny Eye Center/UCLA: (email 8/23) Interview 9/26, 10/18 Ohio State: (email 8/23) Interview 10/19, 10/20 Loma Linda: (email 8/28) Interview 9/10, 9/24, AAO Dean McGee...

Just out of curiosity, how many interview invites have you all received so far? I have 1 MD and 3 DO IIs which I'm very grateful for but also worried about not getting more MD IIs.

Hey guys! I applied to NECO and Salus and got interview offers from both of them. Would it be stupid to turn down the Salus offer and only go to the NECO interview?

This may sound like a dumb question haha but I’m prepping for interviews and for the “tell me about yourself” I’m trying to incorporate some interesting facts about myself. One of the facts I’m debating mentioning is that I can say my alphabet backwards...idk if this sounds dumb to say at a...

Hey Y'all. I just made an account so I could share with my fellow co-hopefuls All the available Interview Dates for all the 2018-2019 Ophthalmology Residency programs in calendar format!! I based it on the available dates as per SF match. Sone schools are listed as TBD but you can complete...

Hello all SDNers! I submitted by AADSAS application at the beginning of July and received a few interviews since that time. As school is rolling back again, I am also beginning to prepare for my interviews in which the first is mid-September. I have not done any interviews as important as the...
