So what did you guys do in order to receive all of these scholarships?! Any info would be awesome, I'm looking at FAFSA stuff now but it seems I may have missed out on some merit scholarships.
Also would like to see if there is somewhere for people who are accepted and plan on going to Carver this upcoming fall.
oh FYI

I will be in town on Wednesday for an interview. From what I have heard, the interview is relatively low stress, so I am not too worried about it. I am more looking forward to seeing what the school has to offer.Anybody interviewing next week? Also, how closed file is the interview? My last closed file interview two months ago, the very first question they asked was "Okay, what's your gpa and mcat then?" while writing it down on their notepad. 😵

I wonder if the adcoms have already been notifying people of being final-pooled. I'm surprised that nobody has said anything yet. And yeah there better be some good news in the thread this coming Tuesday!
I was always under the impression that they meet on Tuesday and send out acceptance emails at around 2:30. Apparently that's not always the case though because a few posts back somebody mentioned being accepted on 10/24 which was a Thursday...in other words, I don't know anymore lolwhy tuesday?
For those of you that already interviewed could you please post some of the questions you were asked in the interview? Were there any really difficult/unexpected questions that threw you off? How was the overall interview experience? Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thank you!
The one thing that was different at Iowa was that you have a 2-on-1 interview: two interviewers, one applicant. Each interview starts with 2 or 3 structured questions where your interviewers aren't supposed to give any sort of feedback (i.e. no expression changes, nodding, agreeing, etc -- though in reality, they seem to give at least some indication, since it's rather difficult to keep a completely neutral face). These questions are taken from a pre-determined pool of standard questions and can include things like: "Why medicine?" "Why Iowa?" or "What would you do in ethical dilemma X or Y?" Nothing too challenging.
Just make sure not to ramble on for too long since your interviewers, presumably, will not stop you. This time allocution is especially important since the rest of the 30 minute interview is filled with a more traditional format, where you get the chance to talk about your application. You want to answer each question thoroughly but not to the extent that you don't have any time left at the end.

One of the "structured" questions that threw a lot of people off from the group I interviewed with was " Describe a time when you had to go to someone for help".
I had my interview on a Wednesday also. You just need to arrive in 1187 MERF (Medical Education and Research Facility) to check in by 10:30. It's pretty easy to find; you'll see a coat rack right outside and they have signs that will lead you to the office also if you need help!So, I got locked out of my interview scheduling tab/secondary app for some reason (wrong password? I only messed up once). Anyone know the interview schedule for tomorrow (1/15)?
I've been doing that since it hit mid Jan. Hoping for some good news this week.Soooo..... is tomorrow the big day? According to the last couple years' threads, notifications were sent out on the Tuesday after the 20th. I assume I won't be the only person refreshing my email and SDN every 30 seconds tomorrow.
So I'm heading to Iowa in a few days! My last interview was a few months ago so I'm feeling kind of rusty, hopefully everything goes well. I still need to invest in a nice topcoat/gloves/portable space heater!! 😀
YES! Try Shorts! It was the best burger I ever had.Good luck! You should really try Shorts (burgers) or Oasis (falafels/pita) while you are there. The interview was super chill but the day is pretty long.

In the interest of equally representing all opinions, I thought Shorts burgers were only ok, but their impressive on-tap selection of local microbrews more than compensated for the average burger.
So does everyone get an email today/next tuesday saying Accepted or Final pool?
nopeSo, anyone get any news yet?
Got rejected today 🙁 . Oh well, Iowa you still were a top choice and am still in love with your program. That is all, thanks.
That's what everyone thinks since last year's notices appeared mainly on Tuesdays and they say they'll notify us by the end of the month. It also didn't seem that anyone was flat out rejected as I browsed through last year's thread
Ugh. I was hoping for post-interview news today. Guess it'll be next Tuesday. Though if I recall correctly, adcoms at Iowa has sent out decisions to people in this thread on Thursdays, too. I really loved this school. Was hoping today would be a good day. This process sucks!![]()
Now that's what I call class. Best of luck to you!Got rejected today 🙁 . Oh well, Iowa you still were a top choice and am still in love with your program. That is all, thanks.
