Guyssss. I finally received a secondary from the school. My app was verified back on August 20th. And of course, I submitted my secondary immediately. 🙂

Congrats! I didn't know they are still sending secondaries out. When did it say it was due by?

Dec 15th. I submitted my secondary within 10 mins.

Does anyone know if this school is true p/f or has internal ranking?

 

[Asp1retoInsp1re]

Has anybody reached out to the admissions office about a secondary and eventually received one?

 

[smallermarine]

Are there any CDU students here that are willing to answer questions?

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Does anyone remember when the last interview will be? And did they say As begin going out in January or February?

last day is 12/12 and A's begin going out in February

Feb can't get here quick enough

how do you know 12/12 is the last day?

 

[smallermarine]

how do you know 12/12 is the last day?

It may have been just the last availability for me, but I am thinking if secondaries aren't due until 12/15 then I may be wrong. Sorry if I misinformed on that part

 

[BothSides]

I feel like 12/12 is the last interview day. They always have their last date in December. They were pretty much on schedule this year, even with the pandemic, so I don't really see them extending interviews. I feel like most slots are taken at this point.

That's what I'm thinking too. But then why would they have their secondaries be due on 12/15?

Just got an II for this program and I'm super excited! They also had an interview date for 1/16 if that puts anyone at ease

That’s good to know! That also clarifies a lot

EDIT: also congrats!! Woohoo

I'm assuming they are done sending out secondary apps?

Congrats on your II! And thanks for letting us know about the next interview date. They must have added an extra interview day this year.

 

[chemistry hahgdgjjhdf]

Just got the complete email. Submitted secondary and paid fee mid September, so be patient if you haven’t received one yet!

 

[silverlinings0618]

Oh my godddd I'm so happy. I got an interview invite today for the 1/16 slot. I received a secondary invite on NOv 20th

Hi I got a secondary on 11/20 and did not receive any confirmation of submission besides payment confirmation. Did this happen to anyone else? too much anxiety to know if my app was actually submitted or not lol

[silverlinings0618]

Group interview + 4 MMIs + 1:1 interview with the interviewer in your first MMI

how many applicants in the group interview? how many interviewers? Can you please give me some details (that you are comfortable with sharing) about the format of the group interview? Thank you so much 🙂

Question for those interviewing this weekend 12/12: Have you received the zoom link? I have not as of yet and also reached out to the admissions department but so far I haven't heart anything from them.

I have not received anything yet.

Thank you for the reply. It’s a bit of a relief to hear.

Yeah, but it is Thursday now without any information. It is pretty concerning. I had to reschedule from a November date and they sent videos the week of the interview to review. I am not sure why if they won't be resending those or...

 

[David_Kay]

I agree. This seems like very late to be receiving confirmation about a Saturday interview. I still haven't had a reply to my earlier email. I'll call them today and post and relevant updates.

 

[kimpetras92]

Same for 12/12....I have not received zoom link for interview. Does anyone know if link is sent out day before or?

I just called their admissions department. Their recording suggested emailing them. I already emailed them earlier in the week. The recording also gave the option to leave a message. I did so but I'm not hopeful that it will be returned.

it's very hard to get ahold of them. They are a small school so the admissions must be super busy right now

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Are chances of being accepted here pretty good, having done the interview early on in the cycle? Side note, I wish they did rolling admissions instead of waiting until Feb. for any news 😢

 

[doctorinpumps16]

Hello everyone! I’m interviewing on Saturday as well. I got a response from admissions saying I should receive info regarding Saturday by the end of today.

Thanks for the update. I just received the zoom link for the pre-interview student panel, so fingers crossed the interview information goes out tonight as well.

 

[branchez96]

Has anyone gotten the 12/12 interview zoom link yet? Starting to get worried 🙁. I got the pre-interview student panel link

I have not gotten the link either! Just the pre-interview student panel link. You're not the only one

 

[David_Kay]

Still waiting as well. I feel like the whole pre-interview panel is just going to be us asking them to reach out to the administrators to send out invites.

 

[smallermarine]

got the email!

 

[David_Kay]

I just got the email for the zoom interview.

 

[smallermarine]

Nice seeing so many of you tonight! I’m excited for tomorrow. Good luck everyone!!
