Watching some college football today and I have a VERY IMPORTANT question for current WMed students... Do y'all get access to WMU student tickets? How much do they cost?

All WMU sporting events are free for students (both WMU students and WMed students)!

Your footnote is the best thing I've seen on SDN. I'm also scheduled for the 28th!

 

[TheFlash11]

Not sure if the system is glitching but are there really only two interview days left? Are more going to open up?

II Complete August 5th, Phone II August 25th, Phone II complete August 29

I think those are the only dates available for this batch of II. I was just thinking that Oct. 28 seems like AGES from now.

You gotta do something to cope with the waiting, LOL.

See you on October 28th!!!

The first 3 interview days are already filled up, so those are the only ones available for this batch of II. Don't worry, however, October is a pretty early interview date

Hi thank you for the reply! If I wait until the next batch of IIs go out will more days open up? I currently have interviews in different parts of the country on both of those days. Thanks so much!!

Email the admissions office, I am sure they will give you more options!

You should email the admissions office instead of just waiting.

Aww man I completed my phone interview 8/30. Does that mean they skipped me over for this batch of interviews?

Congrats on your II though 🙂

 

[Snow2232]

I just got a phone interview yesterday (9/7), does anybody know what kind of questions they ask?

 

[franklymike111]

For those of you who have had the phone interview - what was it like? What were some of the prompts?

This has been asked before. On the phone interview, they specifically tell you not to talk about what happens during the interview. Good luck!

Is it too late to submit secondaries by next week? Out of $$. 🙁

I think thats fine! Its for sure "too late" if you never submit it!

 

[armaar]

Campus II yesterday morning! Phone interview was the 27th, showed as complete the 30th. Scheduled my interview for October 28th.

Cool thank you!

 

[mangomaniac]

Nvm!

 

[spackydoodleIII]

Okay yall freaking out a bit right now, is there any way to look at my secondary answers online after I've already submitted? For some reason the word doc I pasted my answers in didn't save and I don't remember exactly what I wrote. I mean I have a good idea but it sucks I'm not able to access my actual answers.
Edit: omg nevermind I renamed the file for some reason I found it

 

[spackydoodleIII]

Also what is the phone interview like??

 

[WMed UpToDate]

They give you a call, you answer some questions, they ask you more questions, you answer more questions, and then you say goodbye. All under 30 minutes.

 

[ishiningstar]

My phone interview was on Aug. 29th , showed as complete on the 31st.

Haven't heard back since, wondering if that's a bad sign...

My phone interview was 8/15 and I'm still waiting. It's still so early in the cycle to start worrying!

I'm in the same boat as you and feel the exact same way! No news is good news at this point I think.

We're in the same boat my friend. I had mine 8/27 and only received an e-mail that said I was complete on 8/31.

what's the experiences review?

 

[brett1234]

how many people get phone interviews?

 

[NucleusO]

how many people get phone interviews?

Around 600 people get telephone interviews out of approx. 4000 applicants. About 350 will get invites for an on-campus interview. If you look through this thread you can find the exact numbers that was posted earlier.

I'm guessing that they will be giving out slightly more phone/campus interviews this cycle because they will be admitting their largest and target class of 84 students

Those figures will increase this year proportionally to increase in class size for 2021.

 

[Typatt50]

Has anyone been rejected post experience review yet

 

[trainracepace]

Phone interview complete 8/16 and nothing since then...

Yup you're right. I think that's what they wrote in the FAQs section of their school website.

 

[goblue008]

For those of you with II's/acceptances, how long did it take to hear back from when you submitted your self-assessment?

 

[Medschool 1991]

[Frogger27]
