Were they this silent when you applied? 🤣 Not even a “your application is complete” email…
Yeah, they are a pretty quiet school in general so don’t feel discouraged by that. I never got any emails from them until the interview invite. It’s a little frustrating.

Are the prompts the same as last year? Would anyone be willing to post them? Thanks!

1. Highlight your experiences in the health care field. What insights have you gained about potential problems you will face as a physician?

2. How will the University of Connecticut School of Medicine best serve your needs of becoming a physician or physician scientist?

3. Please take a moment to explain how the COVID-19 pandemic directly and personally affected you as it pertains to preparing for medical school. (e.g. MCAT test date delay, financial impact, research/clinical experiences, self-quarantine, etc.).

Thank you!!
 
hey everyone, I didn't know that the portal had a deadline of 1 month for submission and I missed it due to extenuating circumstances (personal illness + dealing with multiple deaths in my circle right now, just kind of sad nowadays). anyone know if it's worth contacting them for an extension to reopen my app or if it's a lost cause?
The worst they can say is no🤷‍♀️ worth a shot!

Got the A yesterday (10/15) around 1:30PM! Interviewed 10/1, in-state. Was not expecting to hear today... this is such a relief. I have been re-reading the email for the past 24 hours. Ahhh!!
Have you been able to pay the deposit? Mine says something along the lines of no term available for deposit or something like that...
 
Can anyone comment on how the interview was? Was it with faculty? How long? How was the intensity of questions?
There’s two 50 min interviews, one with a faculty/an adcom and the other with a student. Both of mine were very casual, especially the one with the adcom. We just talked about different aspects of my applications and my interests and what not. Nothing stressful at all!

Thanks for sharing! Do they let you know in advance who your faculty and student interviewer is?
 
I got the email with my NetID the other day and paid my deposit. And personally, I felt like my faculty interview was a pressure-interview, so I think the interview style varies based on interviewer.

Post interview R this morning while getting dressed for another schools interview…brutal timing. IS, Interviewed 10/15, felt like it went great. Obviously some reflection to do, but not today.
I'm so sorry🙁 Did they send it through email?

Keep your head up for your next interview! You got this!
