So my question is, does the status of your interview determine if you get accepted or not regardless of your academic standings??? If your interviewers dont' like you, is that it?? your chance is gone??? thanks

Hey,

From what I have learned at TUCOM... the stuff on paper gets you an interview and then your interviewers will vote for you to be accepted/waitlisted or rejected and gives those votes to a committee of about 22 people who have your file and they discuss the interview with you and let the others ask questions about you. Then there is a total vote with the 22 people who decide your fate. Then the dean will sign those letters and there you go.

Good Luck!

There's no way you can tell if an interviewer likes you. They can act mean and ask you complicated questions but that doesn't say much about what they think of you. I had one like that at WVSOM but still got accepted so you never know.

from what i've gathered, your interviewer reports back to the admissions committee what their impressions of you are; and they act as your voice to the them. if they don't like you, they're more likely to not be your advocate. godd luck.

They take the MCAT score, GPA, and your score on the interview, and put them in a database, which ranks students from highest to lowest score.

They interview the top scores, and leave the others in the database, so if later interviewers score lower than you, you are bumped up.

This was told to me by the admissions offices at a couple of schools.
