Ah crap. I was checking my UIWSOM portal and there is a tag that reads Waitlist Expired. What does this mean?

It sounds like a pre-II R. Does anybody have any insight on this? 😕

where do you see this on the portal?

My portal shows the same thing.

Front page. It is in big letters.

II 10/02, WL 10/22

 

[DocSherman]

My portal shows the same thing.

Yeah. Don’t know what to think of it. I tried searching past threads and they were no help.

Maybe nobody checked the portal back then, me included?

EDIT: Sorry to be a snoop, but we both received the August 8 pre-II WL email. Oh boy…

Give a quick call or email to admissions asking about it. Won't hurt at all!

Might do that before their office closes if nothing gets sent out. They tend to dish out info in early morning PST.

 

[purkinjekitty]

hoping its nothing news. Keep holding out yall!

This is my top choice private school currently but If get a public school acceptance I will drop my acceptance ASAP and I know others will too. so more interviews and waitlist movement will be happening soon.

 

[DocSherman]

To update, it’s a false alarm. I contacted the admissions director and she said it’s nothing:

Please ignore that notation. We are working with our CRM team to improve that header.

Anyone know the class size for first year?

 

[Choсolate]

Can anyone comment on whether if you do in-person interview, if you have the chance of staying with a student host as opposed to paying for a hotel? I asked them about it over the phone, but was a little confused about their answer, so I don't want to bother them again.

What did they answer?

 

[Choсolate]

What did they answer?

I think they said that interviewees do not stay with a host, but then they added something about emailing them about being put on a waitlist? I could be making this up honestly. It would be helpful if someone who interviewed in-person could chime in about their experience 🙂

To be honest I have not seen any school offering student hosts for the last 4 years. The pandemic put an end to that as did the prevalence of Zoom interviews.

damn that was a quick WL, if you dont mind me asking did you feel that your interview could have gone better or do you feel that it was something else

I definitely think it was my interview that tanked me. I had some stuff happen right before my interview day that really frazzled me and I know that contributed to my performance

how do you feel you did overall in your interview?

 

[he2730760124]

how do you feel you did overall in your interview?

It was my first time doing MMIs so I was pretty nervous I wish I spoke about myself more but overall I think I did OK

Same most of them I felt went well, whereas other I knew how to answer them but I thought my delivery could have been better

I found it stressful that the interviewers wouldn't react much. I feel like I cracked 3 of them & they smiled/were more reactive haha, but the other 2 were just too good at being serious haha

Same but they were all told to maintain a poker face for the interviews lol

I had my interview today and I feel the same way. Four of them were more friendly and the last one was more serious lol. Overall, I really liked the interview format and would just tell future interviewers to be themselves.

Also, is the zoom meeting with the students mandatory??

 

[ninja0804]

Same but they were all told to maintain a poker face for the interviews lol

I can tell you more than half of them actually reacted to what I said and smiled lol

Did anyone else receive an II back in October but the next earliest interview date was February? LM 72 and just kinda surprised by the gap between receiving the invite and actually going in.

That is a huge gap dang. Maybe they’ll add more dates in between?

And that there are no virtual dates available in the new year

 

[ssj65]

Withdrew my II today. Hopefully it goes to one of you guys!

 

[kpremed18]

When I received an II at the beginning of October the soonest date was 01/12 with only a few spots left. I've been hoping new dates would open over the last month but unfortunately it seems like they keep getting further away!
