+ 1 OOS II yesterday! Submitted 7/17.
When I go to schedule it, it says "We apologize, but there are no slots available for scheduling at this time." Is this normal or should I contact them?

I know i hate waiting, interviewed 9/16
was the interview relaxed? mmis stress me out so much bc i always freeze up so im hoping itll be more conversational? also were there lots of ethics/healthcare issues questions or was it more a personality test?

its not conversational so forget about that. You do however need to be concise in your response and leave about a minute for follow-up questions.
Best,

I thought it was okay! I am also terrible at MMIs so I was super stressed before my interview, but then when the time came I realized I was overthinking it. I was also afraid of freezing up but honestly ended up blabbering instead😅

I felt like there was a mix of ethical and non ethical topics. Mine felt very chill and some were conversational, none of them were really grilling me on my responses. Just stay broad in your thinking.

I interviewed in August! One of the first rounds. It is just frustrating not to hear anything back right now.

Based on admit data it seems like a lot of people from the early interviews haven't heard back yet.

Honestly it was pretty straightforward. I only had one interviewer who really seemed like they were trying to trip me up, but the rest were very simple and conversational for the most part.

Looks like a wave of Rs went out? Feel like I survived it but am not going to get an ii, this whole process is such a headache ahaha
FYI I got rejected in January last cycle. Applied earlyish as well.

For anyone waitlisted or accepted, did you get a confirmation email after confirming your choice on the portal?

I also had one interviewer that asked me somewhat receptive follow up questions but I thought the rest were great and actually helped sort of guide your answer! The follow up questions for the most part made me think about things I might have missed when I initially answered and gave me a chance to add more. You’ll do great!!

Kinda confused on cycle track it looks like they didn't reject anyone til Dec. and then had that big wave in Jan... I wonder why they started in October this year
Yea it is odd

Its probable because they have more applicants this year
Are you thinking about their pathway projects?

Nowhere does it say that, and it's also not listed in the interview information on the portal, so I'm pretty sure it is not mandatory. Honestly I doubt it's tracked either, but the email seemed to imply there would be more of them in the future if you're worried.
I remember them encouraging us to attend to learn more about the school, but also said that they aren't mandatory!

I did not attend and was admitted, but think it might be helpful to learn more about the school if you have the time!
