I think I'm going to ask during my interview if it would be worth going to or if the info learned there is just a repeat of what they will tell us during our interview, but probably leaning more towards going rather than not just in case.

Im not sure I received a complete email and trusted everything was all good
 
People always give ‘em flack for the whole app process, but they sent a cool swag package in the mail after my interview! Students seem to LOVE the school and the faculty is super receiving to student input. Thought I’d go against the current here

Current M1 here (got off the WL back in May). PM me if you have any question. RFU is an interesting school- my only acceptance. I admit it was not my first choice, and I am a tad biased, but I was intentional when I applied here. I was a non-trad, and without a doubt this is a very non-trad friendly school- avg student age is 25 yo. Let me just say interprofessionalism is HUGE at this school, and the difference between II and no II or A and R will come down to mission fit in you essays. Also tons of WL movement come spring. Cheers!
 
I Really like this school, just wanted to know if everyone that applied here already took and submitted their PREview exam scores? I know that their website states that it’s recommended this year instead of being required like the Casper last year?

Thank you! I did receive that email, and cannot attend due to work obligations, but I'm sure it would be a nice experience!
 
Anybody who interviewed with RFU send a thank you letter? I know they gave information on how to send one if so desired. I am unsure if I am wanting to send one myself, as I only spent 8 minutes with each person and didn’t really form any type of personal relationship outside of those few moments. Although I connected with them, I am under the assumption that they grade answers on the spot and their names are kept anonymous. With all this in mind, I am hesitant to send one more so than the traditional interviews I have had thus far. Anyone have any thoughts?

During the interview, I was told not to send one unless the interviewers provided me with their contact information (to respect their time and privacy). You could always send one to the Admission Office <[email protected]> but don't expect a response since we get so many applicants every year and you're evaluated on what you offered during interview day (e.g. update letters and letters of intent are not accepted). Good luck!

I sent a thank you email to Zach regarding the work the admissions office put into making interview day run smoothly. In this email, I also listed the names of my student and faculty interviewers and expressed my appreciation for their time and considerations.

+1 did the same and Zach was very receptive!
 
Anyone who interview previously attend the "meet and greet" zoom session the night prior to interviewing? Trying to determine if its worth rushing home from work to hop on.
 
Question to those who interviewed if you're allowed to say: are we allowed to have a piece of paper or the notepad on our computer open to take notes during the MMI prep period or if we want to write down any questions to ask students/faculty?

I believe we were allowed to take notes!

It’s pretty informal, you don’t have to log on right when it starts, but it’s pretty much just a way for them to put some faces to names!

I believe you're allowed to take notes. I don't remember if it's electronic or pen/paper.

what is the WES Evaluation? I just saw on my profile that is it not complete 🙁
Click to expand...
did you study abroad? I think WES eval shows up to people who spent some time abroad, but idk if WES eval itself means they need more documents from you and such. You should probably ask rosalind directly!
 
Rosy Franklin mailed me an empty journal (thanks for interviewing)... Neat I guess
 
Does anyone see an option on their portal for an "Alternate List Confirmation Form"? Interviewed 9/13 :/

If it means anything, I clicked to confirm just to see what happened and all it did was say that it was confirmed for submission on my portal
