+1. LM 74 IS with good EC's and went 0/2 for WA schools but multiple OOS state school II's LOL
hmm those are killer stats. U get good healthcare experience?
I had enough experience, but I probably didn't fit into WSU's mission/type of students they want (i.e. I am traditional, went to school OOS, 0 rural health exp, probably gave off vibes I would not stay in WA lol).
I only shadowed physicians in rural areas, but almost all of my volunteer work was in urban areas like you!
Wow you have a lot of really good rural experience! I know the mission says its focused on addressing challenging healthcare environments in WA but from reading this thread as well as after the interview day I definitely feel like its more focused on rural medicine so i'm scared I don't have the qualities of a competitive applicant, especially after hearing all of your experience with rural healthcare.
At least you have some exposure to rural medicine where I have none 🙁 DId you get an A?
Yes back in December
Rural? Nearly zero. But I have a passion for and some decent experience in Veterans health which WSU seemed to highly value as they place the Washington Veterans Community as highly underserved.
What spreadsheet are you stalking?
Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need right now.
this is pure assumption however I suspect they have 8 interview days left. They might be filling these in pairs to give people an alternate day to interview which would mean there are 4 slots left. I would think 3 of them are already full and they are reserving the last slot for last minute cancelations due to people choosing other schools and letting them know.
I sent them directly to the interviewers. I found their emails on the interview packet site
Interviewed on 9/14 and same.....¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Interviewed on 9/21 and same....do you think it's safe to say we are waiting for waitlist to come out?
When I interviewed on 1/22, they told us that there were still at least 3 committee meetings until the waitlist was created, and that everyone who interviewed would be considered in each one until a decision was made, so there are definitely still more chances. Don’t lose hope! One of my best friends was accepted to ESF off the waitlist in the middle of summer and is currently in her third year, so chances are also good there.
I am a reapplicant (first gen, had no clue what I was doing my first cycle) and I did multiple mock interviews this year, including one with the ESF CAMI project. I did really feel like it helped, mostly with insight into what they are looking for in their successful applicants and also how to tell my story in the best way possible, like how to dig even deeper into who you are and why they should accept you. I think the thing I improved on most this year was learning how to sell myself and prove that I would be a valuable asset to their class. I still struggled with the format of the virtual interview, it was a lot different from the panel interviews I’d done in the past, and I wasn’t sure if I did well. The types of questions that my mock interviewer asked me were very similar to the questions that I received in my actual interview, and definitely helped me feel more ready by planning out some prepared responses on specific topics. I highly recommend doing a mock interview with them as well as through other resources, like a pre-med advisor.
I also Interviewed 1/15 and haven't heard nothing.
I'm so eager to hear back. I do have an acceptance at PNWU that I have to pay a deposit for by late next week if I don't get an acceptance here. I know that I'm in a good place and I would love to attend either school but I just want an answer. Lol. And it's crazy to hear that some people who interviewed months from now never heard back. Not even being told that they're on the waitlist.
Did they not tell you anything? No waitlist or still under consideration? Just silence?
They sent a couple of SUC emails but radio silence now for a couple of months.
I wish I could be like "heyyyy remember that $1k I gave you for me? Use it for motherofdragonflies instead"
@Doctorswithborders013 How quickly after your acceptance did you have to pay your deposit?
Oh I see, that's great to hear! I did not apply to PNWU so I won't need to worry about that.
Thank you so much for the info. It sounds like I'll be waiting for a while longer so it's time to be patient. Others, definitely post your updates with your interview dates so we can keep up with approximate timelines 🙂
what I understood from the email is we are most likely to get a call on 3/4, 3/5 or 3/11, 3/12 if we made it or not ("two rounds of small acceptances will be sent out early march")
