How many people do you think they interviewed already? 800?

 

[Monophasic]

How many people do you think they interviewed already? 800?

800? Let's figure the math on that.

Say they have 3 interview days per week, every week. Say they started interviewing the week of 9/1. So that'd be 7 weeks. Let's say they interview 25 people per interview day. 7 weeks * 3 days a week * 25 interviewees a day = 525. All of these numbers are gross over-estimations, so no, I would not say they've interviewed 800 already.

 

[EbolaOnMyMind]

Really? They told me those ranges while I was there 10-15%

 

[pre-DR]

So the fact that it is the 19th and we still didn't hear back makes me wonder what makes this cycle different from previous ones!

II today, woohoo! LizzyM 73, complete early Sept. OOS.

 

[Limbo123]

For those of you you have already interviewed, when does the interview day end? Is it reasonable to schedule a 6 pm flight?

 

[Dirk__Diggler]

You can request for early interviews if you have to leave early. If you do, you'd probably be out by like 2:30 which gives you plenty of time.

I think everyone was done by 4:30 pm, most earlier (I was done around 3:45 pm). But if you tell them now when you have to leave for your flight, they will most likely honor your request. Also the airport is literally 2 miles from the campus and it is a super small/quick airport so even if you got out at 4:30 you would still have plenty of time if you took a cab straight there.

I heard there is a small group activity during interview day but is there any writing station? can anybody talk a bit about the group activity whos done it?

 

[ryval]

Has anyone who interviewed in middle to late September heard back yet?

 

[Heisenberg 41]

Has anyone who interviewed in middle to late September heard back yet?

Nope, I wonder when we can expect to hear? I could have sworn they said the third Tuesday in October during my interview.

 

[JHUDJA]

I heard there is a small group activity during interview day but is there any writing station? can anybody talk a bit about the group activity whos done it?

So the group activity is very low key and not really evaluated. They give you an ethical question and you all just talk about it!
But it's not really evaluated because it's just the admissions director lady sitting in there, and she doesn't know everybody's name. I'm sure if you said something ridiculous she would be sure to look at your name tag and take note, but it's just an activity to see how you work with others and your ethical thinking. Nothing is written down.

 

[EbolaOnMyMind]

When can we expect to hear back for late september // early october people (early october = first days of october)

 

[JHUDJA]

They told us 4-6 weeks.
So likely in a couple more (early November)!

 

[mr.mkitty]

I would looove to get an interview here :/, complete Sept. 19th

 

[DoaneTiger1953]

Same. I was complete around the same time too and haven't heard a peep :/

On the bright side, it looks like they've reached early Sept. so hopefully that means news soon 🙂

 

[jagster92]

Has anyone who interviewed in middle to late September heard back yet?

I interviewed last week of September and was told we should hear back by the end of October

 

[mr.mkitty]

Fingers crossed for both of us!
Yeh I'm hoping they are going through applications strictly by date since that would mean we'd hear back soon..

 

[dayman]

I interviewed in mid-September and still no news regarding application. I know on our interview day they said we were on the border of which committee meeting we'd make it to. Hopefully they meet soon and let us know!

 

[catie_jane]

Complete 9/15! Hoping to hear good news

 

[DiDoc]

Can anyone who has interviewed here comment on the style?

Closed file interviews.
They know your name, your alma mater and your degree. Maybe your hometown? Not sure.
Your interviewers may or may not have read the short descriptions you write prior to the interviews. One of mine did.

 

[y123]

My interviews ended really early. I wish I had known, so I could have booked a much earlier flight.

Thanks, and are they conversational or lots of abstract questions?

I had both. I think it depends on your interviewers.
