To anyone who has interviewed: How high stress was it? A bit nervous as this is my first traditional one and VCU's MMI, the only other interview I've had was very low-stress and quick.

Stress free actually. They stress the fact that it’s a “conversation” and not an interview all day leading up to the interviews.

Thanks so much!

I would venture to say that you will likely enjoy this day!! Stress is low and I honestly felt like I just spend a few hours getting to know a prof and a student! Definitely low stress

Totally agree. Plus you get to try on your white coat

Agree! Interview day was awesome, low stress and fun. Everyone is super friendly!

 

[Dr-D]

Honestly it’s the best interview I’ve had. My first interviewer literally sat down and just talked about her kids, I don’t even think she thought of any questions to ask me haha. It was just like talking in a coffee shop. Very relaxed.

 

[mariposas905]

II just now! OOS

 

[mariposas905]

There are 7 more slots the next Tuesdays and Wednesdays until the 3/13!

Do you know if 3/13 is the last day WSU interviews?

 

[bubbleeli]

Does anyone know if they are receptive to phone calls from applicants?

 

[catsandbio]

Do you know if 3/13 is the last day WSU interviews?

Not sure, that's just what they had for options when I picked my date.

 

[Dwigt_1]

Does anyone know if they are receptive to phone calls from applicants?

Not sure about this. I did just email them, and they just said my application met the requirements and is still under review

 

[OchemOficionado]

Does anyone know if they are receptive to phone calls from applicants?

They are. Teresa made this very clear.

 

[bubbleeli]

They are. Teresa made this very clear.

Do you just call the admissions number?

 

[OchemOficionado]

Do you just call the admissions number?

No. I've never called.

 

[deleted939613]

Has anyone from the 1/23 interview date heard back yet?

 

[lit6578]

Has anyone from the 1/23 interview date heard back yet?

The admissions committee meets every other Wednesday afternoon, so I would imagine that you guys would hear back on 02/21 since the ad com last met on 02/06.

They also don't give out decisions to every person from the interview group on the same day for some reason. My guess is the people that don't hear two weeks later are in limbo and need to be reviewed again. Just speculation.

 

[Dwigt_1]

II just now, Lizzy M 65. IS, complete mid July.

 

[c_yang]

Does anyone have a guesstimate on when we might start seeing waitlist movement?

 

[OchemOficionado]

Does anyone have a guesstimate on when we might start seeing waitlist movement?

Likely after 4/30.

 

[Dwigt_1]

Just interviewed here recently. They said they get a lot of movement in April, and then May typically slows down a bit. Interviews end 3/13, not sure how full the class is at this point, either.

Last year it seems people got their rank email early april and movement started shortly after. Im assuming it will be even earlier this year when people have to reduce to 3 acceptances on april 15th instead of some people holding 10 acceptances up until the 30th.

They don’t HAVE to reduce to 3, it’s just suggested. Not enforced.

 

[RTagore]

Has anyone received an acceptance/waitlist email today? I know they had an admissions committee meeting last night and they usually send out emails the following day

 

[Chandler Bing]

Can someone comment on the interview style? I know its 2 one-on-one interviews, but do we know who is interviewing us? Is it open or closed file? Any more details/advice as to what to expect?

We know once we get there. Open file. Tons of questions about your application. Really just trying to get to know you. If you have a weakness in your application, just be ready to explain it. SDN Interview page is how I prepped, highly recommend doing that. Conversational overall.

 

[MDhopeful74]

Are they still sending II’s?

 

[deleted964256]

Are they still sending II’s?

i think probably not, their cycle ends mid march from what i can tell and they probably try to give IIs a month before.

 

[Dwigt_1]

Are they still sending II’s?

I know they interview until 3/13. They sent me an II on 2/15, so unless someone drops (which is possible!) I don't think they would sent out any II. I would always call though. They seem to be really nice!

 

[preme_10]

Does anyone know if the committee is supposed to meet tonight? Hoping to hear something soon.

 

[Dwigt_1]

Also curious about this ^^^^^

 

[catsandbio]

I think they meet every other Wednesday and they met two Wednesday’s ago so they should have met today. Usually accept people in email next morning

 

[catsandbio]

At least that is what I have seen on this thread

 

[LittleEinstein]

Has anyone heard back yet this morning?

 

[catsandbio]

Has anyone heard back yet this morning?

I haven’t yet lol

 

[Dwigt_1]

I haven't either...i remember them saying potentially 3 weeks (interviewed 2 weeks ago), but I believe that the committee met last night.

 

[LittleEinstein]

I interviewed at the very beginning of February so it’s been a little over 4 weeks for me

 

[preme_10]
