Can anyone speak to the interview format? open or closed? one or multiple interviewers? etc? Thank you!

 

[JMD25!]

Hey guys, just got back from First Friday. They stated that they aren’t even halfway through sending interview invites and expect to continue throughout April. Keep hope alive!

Thanks for sharing this info!

But OMG that’s a long time to wait 🫠🫠 but here’s to some more waiting and hoping 🤞🏼

 

[manojoblanco!]

As long as you have not gotten that rejection email, you are still playing the game!

 

[allgoodthings]

Just wondering, for students who have been accepted, when is the certiphi background check due?

I think they just want it done in january so i would just say as soon as possible

I believe it’s closed file. It’s a traditional interview with one interviewer, takes about 40 minutes (depending on your interviewer it could be shorter). I don’t remember all the questions I was asked but for sure you want to prepare for: tell me about yourself, why medicine, why howard, where do yourself in 5/10 years, and talking about your weaknesses. If you have any questions pm me! I didn’t want to leave a super long response

Honestly it’s really quick. I didn’t see a date but it took like 30 minutes max

I think it’s partially open. My interviewer said my major and I didn’t tell her. One interviewer with general questions.

[mddreamgirl]

A on January 17th!! Does anyone know if there’s an accepted students GroupMe?

 

[purplegirl500]

Has anyone received a confirmation email after they sent an update?

 

[pink5diva]

Has anyone received a confirmation email after they sent an update?

sent an update back mid november and nope!

 

[meeel5]

Has anyone received a confirmation email after they sent an update?

They also mentioned that they were 2 months behind on emails, which is why if you submitted an update letter they haven't responded. They are down a person in the admissions office so I expect things to move even slower than normal.

It did seem like they don't really want/like update letter if they arent very substantial

Last month the staff shared they are behind on emails so most likely why it’s been quiet.

 

[snoopythedoc]

OOS A today, interviewed 1/14!!! appreciate a school with a quick post-interview turnaround

 

[rosieroses1423]

Currently still radio silence. I am wondering if anyone is in a similar boat as me (secondary reviewed 12/17)? HUCM is my top choice and I'm really letting nerves get to me
