Members do not see this ad.

So I was just curious to see if anyone has been rejected after interviewing. I only know of people getting rejected pre-interview.

There are several active posters on here that have been rejected post interview. I'm sure they will share their stories if they want ,but bottom line is this: an interview does not equal admission to the school.

I was wait-listed at DMU. It feels like a pseudo rejection.

I do not feel I actually said "why" I wanted to attend DMU. My stats where on par with people getting in, I just feel I did not display the passion that it was my #1 choice (even though it wasn't). Schools not only want you to be competitive, but they want to know they you really want to be there - not just blindly apply.

SMU and AZPOD are my #1, and #2. I just did the SMU interview, I felt a lot more lively, prepared and comfortable. I had better thought-out responses to questions, and had a lot more research on the school I was able to draw upon. I really hope I see a positive email next week.

I will put forward that same effort on AZPod next week.

In most cases if interviewed you have your foot half way in the door, its on you to seal the deal. After reflecting DMU interview I did not seal the deal, and neglected to provide the personal depth I think I could offer a school through my responses.

Hey I was just wondering what kind of questions they asked at your SMU interview, I have mine in a few weeks!

I actually heard of some people getting wait listed so don't feel bad. I was wondering if there was anyone that was straight out rejected. I have not heard about anyone that was rejected after an interview yet, so I was just curious.

When is your interview date? I will be there the 9th.

Can anyone provide more insights or stats regarding the topic? I am paranoid and wondering the odds of getting rejected....post interviewss

Wait listed dmu ( I view as polite rejection) and outright rejection at azpod so yes it does happen. DMU was my first interview so might have not been the most prepared AZPod I though did well but what ever

 

[calibaby1212]

When did you interview for both and what are your stats? Did you try any of the bigger schools?

Damn dude, that sucks! By any chance did you ask them for feedback after rejections? do you know why the didn't accept you? I thought an interview invite means you are 90% accepted.

Who ever told you this is completely wrong.

Stop worrying about how others did or what decisions they received and prep for your interviews! By asking this same question over and over isn't going to help you when if comes time for you interview

Now go prep!

If you see in the sdn feedback that behavior based questions are asked don't assume the ones they have listed are all you get. At azpod the 3 who interviewed me improvised a great deal and created new questions based on responses I gave. It was very personalized. Be able to think on the fly for ones you are not ready for!

For my stats, 2.9 c+sGPA (I will admit that is on their lower end) 31Q MCAT. I was just told the interview did not go well, and that is it. it was a closed file interview and they did ask bizarre questions such as "do teach kids cursive or how to type on the keyboard" or "emphasize face+twitter or face to face talk" I tried to play those questions as balanced approach. The other thing too is they are only taking 30 people, so they can be really picky and I do not blame them. At least I was able to just burn miles and hotel points to go from Chicago to glendale so it did not really cost anything to fly there and then drove to vegas for 2 days so it was not a total loss.

Wow those questions are bizarre. Arizona only takes 30... Wow very selective. I didn't end up interviewing at Chicago but I wider how those questions were.

Stop worrying so much about stats. Your grades are what they are just focus on selling yourself. My grades weren't stellar but I showed my passion and drive which got me in no questions asked.

Interviewed at all the schools other than CSPM and Barry got into all of them except AZ and DMU, going to temple (12K scholarship to boot)

As they only take 30 I am guessing they only issue 50 or 60 acceptance letters, so that is still a lot less than they get applications. Maybe I did not answer in the way they wanted or could be a number of things. It is no big deal.

At Scholl the questions were pretty standard, nothing too odd or hardball.
