btw, my portal still says my application is "pending review" but I got an II. So I don't know what's up with that...
That is correct, you can do it at any time, and they have practice questions on the website that you can do as many times as you want to get a feel for it. It’s kind of like MMI questions, you get a question, time to think about it, then 2 minutes to answer. It’s pretty straight forward, but awkward since you are just talking at your computer. You don’t get to redo your answers though, so make sure you practice a few times to get familiar with the format.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it 🙂
Yes and no. There are some serious practice Q’s that are similar to the ones I got, and then there are some non serious ones in the practice like “What superhero power would you choose and why.” There weren’t any non-serious questions in my actual interview. Other people may have had a different experience though
You should get a link within 24 hours of your II, I got mine right after. You need to complete the video interview at least 7 days prior to your in person interview.
Nothing here... starting to get pretty nervous (interviewed in September)...
I also interviewed in September. Since Utah doesn't fill most of its class till March, I am not as worried as I would be. It still sucks though.
Last year, they didn’t reject or waitlist anyone until March (post interview I mean)so if you don’t hear anything until then it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
They are nothing to worry about. Sounds cliche, but just try to have fun with it. I really enjoyed mine.
It is all scenario/question based. No group stuff, just you and your evaluator. Not sure what more I can say about it since we had to sign the non-disclosure agreement.
Complete date?
Got one about a month ago, OOS with no ties at all
I am hoping they will send out some acceptances this week. It would be nice to have some good news to share around the dinner table on Thanksgiving.
Congratulations! What dates were available? In the same boat, complete since late August... but no dice for me yet, at least. Good luck!
They interview 4 people for every spot so once you have an interview your chances are as good as anyone else’s!
Unfortunately, the chances for each student once you interview is 25%. They interview 4 students for each seat in each category (IS, OOS, Idaho, and OOS with ties IS I think). So IS doesn't compete with OOS or Idaho.
That's exactly right. Every school overaccepts to some degree, Utah is no exception. You've got more like a 33% chance post-interview, according to US News.
You do have a better shot if a Utah resident even though they’re all technically 25%. 85 chairs
BUT, the 25% is much more favorable for IS.. if I’m competing for the top 15 chairs as an OOS, it could be much more difficult to make it than if I were IS competing for one of the top 85 chairs, even though technically everything’s 25%.
Congrats!! Stats? Interview date?
