2020-2021 Western Michigan

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For people who interviewed: how early did you show up during the check-in period before the start of the day? I know in a pre-COVID interview day, showing up early would be the norm, but it seems odd to be 45 min early to a Zoom call šŸ˜„ does everyone just sit there and chat?
Will I see you Friday??

I also received the interview materials today... but none of the videos linked to that email attachment are working for me
 
Deferred my position on the waitlist, hoping it goes to one of the homies!

Good luck : )

Thank you for giving up your spot sooner rather than later! It's appreciated by those who are waiting :)

Sorry, but would you mind clarifying: did you receive the II yesterday or just further materials?

I received the II on 12/16 and received materials earlier this week... I eventually became able to access the materials (the wifi at my work must have it blocked for some reason!!) so ignore my earlier post lol

does anyone know if I can check in around 12:35 or do we have to check in at 12:15. Is there anything that we do during the check in time/

I'd recommend checking in on-time. Once they check you in you're allowed to turn off your mic and video and come back at 1 pm for the welcoming session

No you can check in later than 12:15. During that time they pull individual people into breakout rooms to verify them (so have a photo ID ready). Other than that you just sit there so itā€™s alright to not be there until later.

Thought this might help someone. There was over 2 months between my phone interview and II.

Did you withdraw on the portal or email admissions?

Does anyone know if update letters should be single or double spaced?
 
How long was it, if you don't mind sharing :) Mine is about 3/4 with 1.5 spacing and not sure if that is appropriate or not.
I kept it to a page - I even made the font like 10 ariel so I could fit everything
 
Has there been a specific day of the week decisions come out on? Last I see on this thread was Dec 17th, a Thursday.
 
did anyone who received an II yesterday get the VITA invite yet? In their email they said they are sent out on Thursdays but I haven't gotten anything..

Mine didnā€™t come until the next Thursday! I think they send out the invites too late on Wednesday for it to come the next morning
 
Waitlisted! Interviewed 1/8. Anyone have any experiences with the waitlist? I saw a post from last month and someone was accepted quickly!

Guessing they didnā€™t get to 1/15 interviews today. I was a little hopeful lol

WMed is pretty good for WL movement. They review those applicants every time the committee meets.

Anyone else interviewing tomorrow? Does anyone know if we will know the name of our interviewer before the actual interview, or will it be a surprise? So excited! šŸ˜€
