If it needs an RSVP you can decline and say you are OOS at present. I believe it is more for people who haven’t been to Galveston and need to take a look. I don’t believe this is an event where they evaluate you but if anyone has heard different please share.
People attended interviews in person before COVID.
I also don’t remember them saying it was only people they were interested in in my interview. I also thought it was just prioritizing based on location. But then again I live very close to Galveston (I’m only out of the state temporarily) so idk if I would be classified as a location priority. Honestly have no idea what criteria they are using , if it is by interest then I must have missed that part during interview day
Nope
Mine has not appeared either, been obsessing over this the past couple of days, thank you for posting this.
i'm pretty sure they did...did you interview in september? they may have miscommunicated to applicants who interviewed in august and adjusted for future applicants.
Same here.
I think that would be fine. Shoes you can walk in (a long way)
The post-ii spreadsheet has it at around 47% for IS and 57% for OOS.
It was casual! They said you can wear school spirit stuff from undergrad or casual. My group mostly wore jeans and a nice-ish shirt or a school tshirt
I did not!
They have only been sending out interview invitations once a month, but eventually they interview over 1000 applicants
People have been invited to campus without having interviewed yet so I would take it with a grain of salt.
They update this page manually and in waves - just hang tight. For reference, a different school took about 7 weeks to update on my page
it's been over a month since my interview and it still doesn't show! Nothing to be concerned about
how was it??
It was good! It was MMI style and be prepared to answer questions from each station. I thought I did well on the majority of them but I couldn't read the remaining 2-3 stations as well, so who knows. But that has to do with the responses from the interviewers really. A few were not as friendly as others which is normal so I wouldn't really take that as an indicator of how you did or are going to do! My other interviews I had really good feedback right away so I really don't know how I did here. Good luck to you all!! Wishing everyone the best.
So Galveston is only mmi and no personal one on one interviews?
They just switched to MMI format this year
I did, and didn't get the invite for a tour. But from the looks of it, it seems the tour invite is randomly given out to interviews.
I didn't have any actor-based scenario, it was all like discussion based like what would you do/act.
I did not, I only sent a thank you to McGovern so far because I really felt a strong connection with them and my interviewer explicitly asked me to reach back out to them and gave me their cell and email. That being said, I sent a personal thank you to them after 3 weeks and a short and more general thank you to the admissions email at the same time. Received short, kind replies.
Thanks so much for the detailed response! Best of luck to you as well
How are you relating MMI to actual application? Isn't by nature not tied to an application?
@TxPreMed2022 Since they will have 9 "interview rooms" with each one manned by one interviewer, I think it's unlikely that each interviewer has your file in front of them or has time to refer to it during your 8 minutes. They will be listening to your answer and your thought process for that particular question.
@wysdoc sounds interesting. It does not say they have access to your file during the interview as you also seem to think...
no, I said it's unlikely that they have your file in front of them
I thought I was saying thats what you said!
Those double negative sentence structures are tricky, eh?I thought I was saying thats what you said!
