Anyone have thoughts if it's too late to apply here? I know it's post labor day but considering throwing my hat in the ring. Would I just be donating?

I don't think there is any harm because from my understanding they just sent out first round of interviews earlier if you can get it in before mid-september I think you should be okay. But again just personal opinion based off of what I learned about the app process and friends who applied last cycle.

For anyone who has already interviewed, what was the format of the interview day, and is it just one interview? Also, for the orientation on Monday, is it a Q and A or just a series of presentations? TIA!

The actual interview day was only the single, 45-minute interview. Monday was just a series of presentations, but it did have a student panel you could ask questions to

also, is changing your time preference for interview day a red flag? i put no preference but now i'm needing to change to do afternoon so i can work in the morning. opinions?
 
To follow up on those questions, I wanted to ask -- for anyone who has interviewed, how were the vibes with the 45-minute interview? Was it chill and conversational, or was it more structured and Q&A feeling? I'm incredibly nervous.

Combination of both. You could tell they had to get through a certain # of questions but they were still trying their best to make it conversational. Felt good vibes, don't stress!

was it casual or formal? like cameras on & business professional or more casual?

I agree with @medcarrot . As with any interview, they have to ask you some of the standard interview questions. The vibes were great and it had a laid back, conversational feel.

Things happen and they expect that to a certain extent. When is your interview? If it's still a good bit away, I would change it on the portal and then send them an email explaining the reasoning. However, I will let you know that they specifically say to be available from 11-4 on interview day for any issues, and they can't promise that you'll get the time you request. IMO, I would use PTO if you can just to be safe

were there a lot of opportunities for interviewees to ask questions during the info session/day

During the student panel for sure. The presenter during the rest of the day did say to type in questions to the chat if we had any, so there were opportunities (although I don't think anyone asked anything lol). But they did a great job of covering essentially all the questions you could think of anyway

I would say this comment was pretty spot on in terms of how it felt!

It was fantastic! My interviewer was very personable and encouraging. There were definitely pre-written questions but it was still quite conversational. You can tell they want you to relax and just be yourself. Very good vibes.

I thought it was super laidback. Interviewed by a current MS4 so that might’ve helped ease the nerves just a little bit. We ended up talking about a common hobby for a good part of it but there was definitely a set of questions that they were trying to get through. Relax and you’ll do great 😊

Hi all
Sorry to interrupt the thread, I am a faculty member and looking to find answers for a friend. Where can I see the interview dates sent out for different schools in one place? Not early decisions though

You will just look on the thread of the school you are interested in (this one is for Georgetown)
Use the search function at the top
Search “this thread”
Search “II”
You will see days with a cluster of II
The most recent day was September 19
 
Hi so I submitted my application mid-August but on the portal it just says "your application is ready" is that ok? I notice for other schools I applied to it originally said "your application is complete" and then moved to "your application is under review" does this all mean the same thing?

I interviewed already and mine still says “Your application is ready.” So that’s the normal status once everything is complete! :)
 
i had my info session on monday & wanted to answer a few quick questions I've been seeing on here!

interviews are partially open - they see your demographics, work/activities, and essays, but they don't see gpa/mcat
eta for hearing back from interviews was 12-14 weeks I think?

anyone remember how long they said that we should be expecting to hear back from the interviews?

Yeah 12-14 weeks, but based on previous years they sent out their first round of decisions within the week following Oct 15th. So if you interviewed in the first week or two, you might hear then.

I feel like people don't know this because this is my 4th cycle and I only learned it this year, but schools using AMCAS can't give out acceptances until Oct 15th regardless of interview date. So no matter what we have to wait until then.
