interview

How quickly should I respond to an interview invite? I received one yesterday afternoon but was hoping to see how next week plays out before scheduling a date to make the most efficient use of travel time.

I am applying this cycle to medical school with above a 3.6 GPA and above a 520 MCAT. I transferred from one undergrad (where I received below 3.0) to another undergrad and have been able to bring my overall gpa up to above a 3.6 (was able to bring up that high because I had some college level...

Hey all, I am in a financial bind and am struggling to afford all my interviews. I have 7 more interviews scheduled so far and now have an acceptance to Alabama COM! I am trying to decide which (if any) interview's I should now turn down, but that is tough to do without ever even seeing the...

Hey all, I am in a financial bind. I have 7 more interviews scheduled so far and now have an acceptance to Alabama COM! I am trying to decide which (if any) interview's I should now turn down, but that is tough to do without ever even seeing the schools of who's interviews I would turn down. So...

Is it possible to get a phone or Skype interview or are all interviews only in person at the school?

Was just curious if anyone could comment on the ability to hold multiple interview slots for the same day at different programs (with the intent of cancelling one in the future)? I am not sure how the scheduling works and if the system allows this. I am applying into a specialty that requires a...

Hi everyone! I have a few upcoming interviews and plan to attend their socials or mixers with current students and prospective ones. These social events are happening at places like a bar&grill or a brewery. The fliers say the events are "casual". What sort of attire is appropriate? My friends...

Hi all! I took the OAT yesterday and safe to say, I am somewhat disappointed in my results... Biology: 290 Gen Chem: 280 Organic Chem: 340 Reading Comp: 310 Physics: 250 QR: 370 Total Sciences: 280 AA: 310 I took 4 practice exams with Princeton Review's OAT CRACKER and scored much higher in...

I'm interviewing at LECOM dental school and haven't seen much about their interviews. What is their style like and what types of questions do they ask? Any major things I should know about the school? Thank you in advance!

Is this something that is common to do? I had never even thought about it, or heard of it before my last interview where someone asked "is it okay if we send thank you emails to our interviewers?" The speaker knew what she was talking about and said that the school accepts them. How many people...

I applied for early decision at Auburn University Harrison School of Pharmacy. Has anyone from there or anywhere else gotten an interview yet?

All of my friends currently in medical school, including my top choice school, say that wearing a business professional dress is perfectly suitable. However, it seems like everyone on SDN is saying a pant suit or skirt suit with a blazer is mandatory for women. Personally, I don't feel very...

Okay so this is going to sound extremely nerdy, but whatever. In my free time I paint these little super detailed figurines. Would that be a good or bad thing to mention/ use as an example of manual dexterity? I feel like it would be, but I don’t want to seem weird or anything.

I've recently gotten invited to interview at NOVA, AZCOPT, and UAB all withing the next month and a half. I gotta be honest I was not expecting this to sneak up on me this fast so I was wondering if there are any recent applicants that can give me tips or just tell me what the interview...

I couldn't find this discussed anywhere as it is pretty specific. I am writing a particular secondary essay regarding "challenges in becoming a physician". The challenge that I have identified is actually exemplified in an MMI from the school I am a reapplicant to. Essentially my question is...

hey guys, I found this graph on OptomCAS and I had a question. Does"offered" mean number of interviews offered or number of acceptances offered? I attached the pic of the graph

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if it is generally considered a good sign if you are interviewing at a school early in their cycle? I know dental school is rolling and your personal interview is obviously a big factor, but since decisions don't come until December is their any advantage or...

Hey, I was hoping to make a thread specific for coordinating some travel expenses together for hotels, transportation, etc. I guess I'll start off by noting that I am interviewing on 8/16/2018, and am interested in splitting a room with one or more people to minimize costs.

Hey, I was hoping to make a thread specific for coordinating some travel expenses together for hotels, transportation, etc. I guess I'll start off by noting that I am interviewing on 8/17/2018. I will be arriving into Dothan fairly late (around 10:00 pm) on the 16th but am interested in...

Dear Psych SDN, Bit of an odd situation here, and I wanted yall's input. I am a 4th year US MD student. I scored a 212 on Step 1. Based on clerkship scheduling, the earliest I can take Step 2 CK is somewhere between September 28-October 21. I realize that this test date would be pretty late...

hi, I am reading that others recieved an interview offer for LECOM SH where they got to pick a day in August they wanted. However, I got offered an interview about 2 weeks ago and they automatically told me to come 7/20. I’m wondering why my experience was then giving me an exact day this...

I just transferred from another college and I had to take this class called New Student Experience and I need to interview someone who is working in the field in which I'm interested in. I need a physician who can answer a few questions, it will take only a few minutes. Thank you!

I've read much about Professional School interview attires here on SDN. Though the general consensus is to go for a conservative look, I think it really won't matter that much as long as I don't go for something crazy. My question is for those of you with experience in professional...

I am scheduled to take MCAT on July 7th (next Saturday). I am also applying early decision to the school in my hometown. Its deadline for early decision is August 1st. My score obviously won't be released by then. What are my options here? Will this hurt me? They do interviews in August and...

Hey guys, The interview cycle will be opening in July, and I am a little bit scared about the interview process. Besides that, my grades, volunteer hours, etc. are up to par. Although I am great at working with people, I do tend to get very nervous when I am on the spot. I think its because...
