Any recommendations for where to stay?
There's a Home2 Suites by Hilton that is right across the street. It's nice and new.
if you look on previous year threads you could probably get a very biased idea of how much movement there is. No one on this thread is going to know how much movement occurs through the waitlist because none of us work for admissions and each year is different.
Wingate by Wyndham Tampa / At USF looks like an okay hotel.
It's casual. The med students will probably be in jeans.
Lol my dinner was at Jason's deli and I think the following week's interview was at Jersey Mike's. You can be casual.
What date is the second look? I just interviewed here, but I possibly may not know my status by the time second look comes around since it takes 4-6 weeks to hear back.
Yup same thing here
Maybe try going to my.usf.edu and clicking on oasis through there instead of oasis.usf.edu
Thank you so much! That worked!!!
I had this issue too, I just had to keep trying and it eventually worked.
I just received an interview invitation, which surprised me because my stats are safely below their average. Does USF just interview everyone who applies? Given that it's so late in the cycle is there really any shot of actually being accepted or is it just an interview to get on the waitlist? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth a $300 plane ticket and a few days in exotic Allentown Pennsylvania... The thousands of dollars I've spent so far to be rejected have left me disillusioned. Thanks!
Yeah I’m hoping..I’m emailing them. They’re wanting a minimum 15inch that’s been bought no more than a year prior to matriculation (for the exams I’m presuming). Aside from that my resolution and everything else meets or exceeds it
I can't see this as being a problem. I believe that these are more "recommendations" than anything. Like how stuff that "only works on internet explorer" works perfectly fine on chrome.
I know this is a stereotypical answer, but honestly just be yourself! The interview day is really informative and the students and staff are really all about telling you why the program is great. Just be honest and you'll do great!
In terms of the interview itself, I saw it was closed-file. Did they have access to anything at all (e.g. Personal Statement) or was it absolutely nothing? Also, other than the stereotypical questions, do you think there should be any unique things to prepare for?
As far as I know, they hadn't read any of my information prior to the interview. I don't think there's really much to prepare for other than knowing yourself and your experiences. It's very casual and they truly are just trying to get to know who you are!
It's actually Honors/High-Pass/Pass/Fail, if I remember correctly.
That website they gave doesn't work. Try going through my.usf.edu.
Yeah canvas works fine
