I talked about how they seem to want to expand their research program/research in general at the school (esp since it was part of one of their goals and objectives) & how I think that's important since medicine must continue to evolve and how I would love to be a part of one research project to help continue the evolution of medicine in any way that I can.
That’s ALL I can think about... and i can’t imagine that a couple of answers would make that much of a difference unless you said something way off the wall. one of my interviewers mentioned how the adcom considers the entire application (essays, letters of rec, MCAT, GPA) as well as the notes from the interviewers. I wouldn’t stress over it too much.
What school you going to bud?
Hey! So the interviews were very informal. It’s all open file and very conversational. Just have fun with it!
Thank you so much!! Appreciate it! & congrats on the acceptance!!!
I interviewed and got rejected, waiting to hear back as to why though. Honestly, I really liked the school and was impressed by their facilities and faculty. The interview starts when you walk in, be friendly with everyone you come into contact with... especially your fellow interviewees. This school has their students in mind first. I would be up to date on your failures and what you learned from them. Be prepared to expand on why you want to be in Idaho for their start up phase of medicine. Also, be professional. I was maybe too happy to be there, and this might have hurt my interview. Keep a positive attitude, without losing control. Lastly, don't be nervous, just answer questions honestly and never say anything negative. Do not say, this place is great, my last interview was horrible. That is a negative. Be conscious of every word you speak. Good luck! I have a few more interviews so I ain't letting this get me down, I really hope they give me feedback so I can improve my performance.
Ask to get on the waitlist. I did it last year and they said that they were probably going to do it this year too.
They said they would send out either Accept, Waitlist, or Reject. I feel like they would have waitlisted me from the get-go if they wanted to.
Thank you for your input! I'm sorry to hear about your rejection but good luck with your other interviews! Wishing you the best with those!!
Congratulations! All the best for a future Doc! I am interviewing 9/4: How long does it take for them to let you know? Do they indicate post interview in some manner or form, that you did well?
They were really quick with letting us know. I interviewed on Monday, and then got the phone call around 3:30 MT on Friday afternoon. I didn't get any special indication of how my interviews went either. I actually thought that one of mine went rather poorly... Just goes to show that they consider the entire application. Good luck tomorrow!
I think there were 23 of us.... it’s a weird number I know... more than I thought there would be though!
thank you so much!
Not that I have seen. Is that something the students usually start?
It's been about 9 days for me! Does anyone know when they usually send secondaries?
Weird...did you change anything like lower gpa?Interviewed here last year in April and ended up on the waitlist. Just got the pre-secondary rejection today...welp, guess that's less writing for me?
That is really weird...
I already paid mine because I didn't want it to take a while to process and miss the deadline. Man... Oh well!
Lol - Better safe than sorry. Also, the background check, drug test, and signature forms are due 11/15 as well!
Nope! I just booked mine to show up the night before but the map on the day of showed multiple cars available!
Thank you!
No problem! Good luck on your interview!!!
Hey I just messaged you.
