Thread for anyone applying to these schools. I'm from AZ and would love to keep up with updates on submissions/interviews/acceptances. Good luck!

Update: Got an ATSU invite.

Nothing yet from ATSU, I haven’t applied to MWU because I was waitlisted last year, I am considering it though.

Hi my portal was updated saying I got an interview and it allows me to schedule my interviewed but I was never emailed. Is that normal?

Honestly. I would call them up. If they hadn't sent me an email chances go, I would have not noticed their interview.
 
Anyone else have an interview for MWU November 6th? I submitted my application and got the invitation within a few days so it seems like they are going through apps very frequently :)

Well, their MSOT admission profiles gave the stats of different admitted states. For OTD, it was like 94% in-state.

Honestly like a week or two, they were very quick but only gave an option for one interview time slot that doesn’t work for me so I’m kind of bummed!
 
I understand that, same thing happened to me with Brenau. They gave me a week to plan my visit there. I’m going to be flying from VA to GA. Luckily my job is flexible but I can’t imagine how difficult that is with someone who does not have that option.

That happened to me last year with Breanu too! My job isn’t flexible at all but I somehow got lucky enough to have two days off to go.
 
I got both of my supplemental applications verified early last week, how in-between before receiving interview invitations?

I got an invite at almost 3 weeks after verification.

I had to check my MWU account to see that they asked for me to schedule an interview date, so I would continue to check their website periodically because they did not email me to schedule it. Also, today I received an email that my ATSU Secondary application was confirmed and I turned that in over a month ago so I believe they are moving pretty slow. In the email, they said they are sending out interview invitations soon or recently started.

Thank you so much! I had to look through my spam to see MWU stuff sent. Thanks for the updates!

When is your interview for MWU?
 
Hello!
I actually got waitlisted about a week after I submitted my application to MWU. Congrats to everyone else!
 
lf_ot2020 said:
Congrats! How long ago did you interview and apply? I still have yet to hear anything from them.

I am also waiting to hear from them. When did you apply? I applied 10/29 so a bit late.

Thank you! I applied in August, they usually send out the secondary email shortly after you apply I would definitely recommend checking your junk mail if you haven’t already, if not definitely give them a call.

Thank you! I submitted my secondary application at the end of August, then got invited to interview about 3 weeks later and had my interview about a month after that.

I applied in mid September and submitted my secondary app in late September, so I will probably call soon and ask for an update.
 
Update: MWU called me back today. Got in. Declined. Keep an eye out for a 623 area code.

Take my spot, guys!
