I'm not sure but I will ask at the virtual open house next Friday 🙂 Have you heard anything about it ?
what other Florida schools are you applying to, if any ?
They said they will start sending out letters via email in January and finish in March. They also said when you apply doesn't determine when you will get your letter.
I had an interview with UM last week Friday . It was great very conversational. Nothing to stress about . They literally just ask you about what’s on your application. Just be yourself and you’ll be fine !
Cool, thank you so much!! 🙂 Do they tell you if they have a timeline for when they will get back to you with their decision?
No problem ! They said this week or in a couple weeks . But looking at forums from last year I see that they had interviews around the same time and they heard back the following week! So I’m praying I hear Friday! If I do, I’ll to remember to let you know ! Is UM your top choice?? It’s my top!
I’ll try to ^
Oh cool, I hope you hear back soon (it would be amazing to hear back a week after the interview)! It would be great if you could let me know, UM is definitely one of my top choices 🙂 I'm wishing you the best of luck, you got this!!!
Definitely! Thank you so much! Who knows we may be classmates soon ♥️ Praying so! I’ll let you know
That would be amazing 😊 Thank you so much again!
Hello 🙂 How did UM reach out to you? Did they call you or email you?
could you please share how they contacted you? via email or phone call?
They contacted me through email
Hi! I got an email from them inviting me for an interview.
When did you submit your application? I submitted mine on oct 15 but have not heard back from them yet.
I submitted Aug 31st, my app got verified Sept 2nd, and I got an interview invite on Oct 7th. I hope that helps!
I had my interview on Nov 5th and I just got my acceptance this morning! Good luck!!!
I received an acceptance too! Do you know whether you’re accepting !?!
I am going to say yes to the admission offer because Miami is one of my top choices! I am still waiting to hear back from a couple of other schools, so I am not 100% sure if I'm going to end up fully committed to Miami, but as of now that's where I am going! How about you??
SAME !! I’m going to accept but I’m still waiting to hear from some more schools !
Nice! Do you know how it works if we end up getting into another school that we want to go to, after accepting a seat at another school (like Miami for example)? Do we just email the school we accepted a seat at and notify them of our change in plans?
yes
The emailed me!
Yes I believe that is how it goes!
I interviewed Oct 29 and still haven’t heard
Congratulations!!!! Did you interview November 19? My UCF interview is December 15. Would you mind telling me a little about their interview process, like what types of questions? It’s a group interview right? All of mine so far have been solo
Thank you! Yep, I interviewed the 19th and it was a group interview. You and two other students are interviewed by a faculty member, an alumni, and a current student. I recommend thinking of some meaningful experiences in your life you can reflect on but they really ask you a broad set of questions. just try to be yourself! Most importantly, try to come in with some really good questions about the program that show you are genuinely interested.
congrats !!! i interviewed on the 19th too. Sooo happy for you !!
When did you hear back from UCF about an interview?
Yes I am! I’m not from Miami but I would love to get to know my class mates!
Yay!! Hi classmate!! Can I message you? Or you message me however !
Hi! I have accepted my seat at Miami and am planning on attending as of now (still waiting to hear back from a couple other schools!). I'm from California so it will be a big move for me as well if I do end up going. Would love to talk to a potential cohort-mate!
So I had my interview with UCF on November 19th and it starts off with a 30 min introduction to the program and the faculty. Next, you are sent into a group interview with two other applicants and are interviewed by a faculty member, alumni, and one current student. I believe it lasts for 45 mins then you take a break and then go to another round of interview for another 45 mins with different faculty members. From the interviews, they really ask you more situational and behavioral questions that you cannot really prepare for. I would say to make sure you can bring up your own experiences and reflect on them. I have heard a few curveball questions that was asked to people during our break time when we were talking to the other applicants. When faced with these types of questions, I suggest you ask the interviewers to give you a minute to think about the question, giving you time to gather your thoughts and say a good answer. At the end of each interview, they ask about any questions you have about the school. You should come prepared with some questions to show you are interested and find out more about the program. Remember, while they are interviewing you, you are also interviewing them and seeing if this school is a perfect fit for you. After all the interviews, there is an optional tour with the current students, where you can also ask them questions from their perspective and questions you might not ask in front of the faculty such as what they did not like about their program. I believe we were told most of the decisions won't be made until after all the interviews are conducted so we would not expect to hear from them until mid December or early January. Hopefully I went over everything. If you still have any questions, you can always just message me.
I have
Same here! Will you be attending?
No I won’t be, do you know if you will be?
