It’s super relaxed, they basically give a case like they would be presented in class and you as a small group just kind of pitch your ideas and it’s facilitated by one of the med students. They specifically say it’s not part of your evaluation at all just a way for you to get a feel of their curriculum

by far my fav interview experience –– it's really chill! just don't do anything socially questionable and ur gonna be fine
 
Hey y’all, my interview is in a couple days. The application portal and emails say that phones, tablets, and safari are not supported, but I actually don’t have a laptop. I’ve been using my iPad for all my interviews with no issues so far, and i’m thinking that if I use Google Chrome on my iPad Pro I shouldn’t have any issues - anyone know anything about this?

Your best bet is probably to reach out to them and let them know of your situation and see what they say
 
Anyone think it's bad to only write a thank you to one person (the traditional interviewer)? I don't know if the other ones can see eachothers' since we are supposed to upload it to the portal

Edit: the only date I saw, besides my scheduled date, is 1/12 am.

Wait, how did you see that there’s one for 1/12?? I would love to interview sooner cuz I’m scheduled for 1/17 even if it’s only 5 days sooner!

Sorry I might've missed this, but I have my interview tomorrow and I thought it was an MMI circuit? Is there also a traditional interview?

Like Sparky21 said they have a traditional interview station that lasts around 15 minutes! If you look at the stuff they link in the interview section on the portal it might say there but if you google stuff about ZuckerSOM interview they have plenty on their website about it!

Looks like mass pre II R's went out last year on 12/16 (so probably tomorrow this year).

As far as A's, I think 12/20 was first day last year so I'm guessing 12/19 this year (the Monday after classes end). Looks like they came out around 8:50am by email and that you accepted via portal so I assume there were changes in portal too.

So, I'm expecting a round of pre-II R's tomorrow, and a round of A's on Monday.

Good luck to all!!!!!

12/19 is Tuesday and 12/20/23 was a Tuesday (I'll still be checking my email neurotically Monday as well though) 🙂

Thank you, just saw it! What did you all think of the Hofstra MMI?
 
Are we expecting that they'll release post-II Rs / WLs next week as well? Or only As? 11/10 interviewer here trying not to freak out lolll
 
What time did you guys get them? Just wondering if they come in waves or if I’m screwed lol

The year before went out sorta in waves so I was hoping it was like that this year. Fingers crossed for us
 
OOS A, interviewed 10/20 and sent an update 12/11 (not sure if it helped but wanted to note that)
 
Congrats on the As everyone!! Does anyone know if there is a chance we will get an A later if we didn’t hear today or is it most likely a WL or R?

On interview day, I wrote down that they told us we could receive a decision anytime between mid-December and March. I think today is just the beginning.

I wrote that down too. Who knows what happens that people don’t post on SDN. maybe some people from earlier interviews do go straight to an A down the line

Some people seem to have gotten “continued review” emails in January too and have gotten As after that that interviewed early on from what I got from last years

damn 🙁 feels bad… first MMI results so makes me second guess my other MMIs

Might not have been our interviews. LizzyM’s staircase analogy is making me feel better sorta. I’m below hofstra’s mcat median and I’m assuming I got overshadowed by high stat people

Interviews: the View From Behind the Curtain

@Goro @gyngyn Is it true that at the interview stage, you as the candidate for medical school, have an equal chance at getting an acceptance? And that your Acceptance/WL/Rejection is solely based (at that interview point and onward) purely on your interview? I.e. if invited for an interview...
