Was this only in snail mail? Or was there a portal update etc
Yes they do! They typically reach out to you about 2-3 weeks before your interview with a google document that has contact information of students who have volunteered to host interviewees. You could also reach out to the Office of Admissions by email if you think you might have missed the student host email
ooh good to know thank u!!
That's great! When were you complete?
8/31
Congrats! Do you remember what interview dates were available?
Mid Feb - early March
My advice would be 1.) Try not to be so nervous! Both interviews are open-file (but I don't think they have access to your MCAT and GPA), so make sure you reread your primary and secondary and are able to clearly and enthusiastically talk about aspects of your app. 2.) Try to connect with your interviewers using similarities that you two may have. This could be anything from similar research interests, hobbies, or shadowing experiences. For example, I worked as an ER scribe, so since one of my interviewers was an ER physician, I talk about my experiences in the ER and connected with my interviewer over that. I think that helps leave a good impression.
I did too and I think it would be nice plus there will be free food.
The previously mentioned neighborhoods are great options. I’m a current student here living west of MLK. I personally haven’t had any issues and will be renewing my lease. There are plenty of students that live west of MLK as it is a much cheaper option. Pigtown houses Camden Crossing and other student heavy neighborhoods that are specifically within the UMB SafeRide range.
