This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Your stats look amazing! Have you heard from NYU at all?

Nothing yet. I feel like it'll be a while till we hear from interviews but who knows! Last year applicants interviewed in early and late November so I am thinking that if they contact us it would be sometime in late October. Just a guess though!

Try thinking about answers to certain common interview questions such as:
"What sets you apart from other candidates?"
"Why you want to attend that specific university?"
etc.

Dress well, and also figure out whether your interview is a group interview or a one–on–one interview.

Has anyone that applied to the University of Cincinnati or Ohio State, not received the automated email for the supplemental application yet? I got an email that I should be receiving these and I haven’t gotten them yet and UC says it won’t review the application until this has been completed and I assume OSU is the same way.

Do you remember how long after applying that you received the supplemental app? I submitted OSU not too long ago, so I possibly could just be extremely impatient.

I also submitted around mid-september and heard back within a couple of weeks. Columbia is rolling admission I believe so hopefully you will hear back soon! Best of Luck!
 
Has anyone heard from Temple, Thomas Jefferson, MGHIHP, Rosalind Franklin, Maryland (Baltimore), or UNE?

Submitted my application to Thomas Jefferson on 9/29 and received an invite today for an interview!
 
Great stats! Thank you so much! One last q, did they send you an email verifying they received your app, or was the interview invite your first correspondence?
No problem! The interview invite was the first I heard back from them.
 
@dancerpt1996 @M$$ Congrats on the interviews! Would you all mind sharing your stats and when you submitted/heard back? Columbia is my top pick, I only just submitted last week but I'm curious to see what my chances are!
You all were right, I heard back with an interview invite on Friday! Thanks & see you next month!
