Interview invites

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
doubt anyone has. it is super early. I think most schools start in september for the interviews
 
That's what I thought, but I have been offered an invitation already so I was wondering if anyone else has as well.

I think it is still too early... do you mind me asking from what school you got an interview from?
 
I read on here that SCCO offers interviews right away so maybe that's the school?
 
this year they said they aren't starting interviews til december (!), much later than usual
 
where did you get this info from ? and all schools?

I recently (last saturday) attended an admissions workshop at scco and can confirm this. This is the first year they're pushing their interview dates back to December. This doesn't apply to all schools of course, but if you're curious you could simply contact the admissions office at each of the schools that you applied to.
 
admissions workshop at scco. now we have to wait til december AHh. (this is for scco only, i'm sure the other schools start earlier)

😱 december?! that's crazy. anyone here get an interview for pco?
 
Got an interview invitation in the mail from MCPHS today!
 
Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking, when was your application mailed out from OptomCas? I'm also waiting to hear back from MCPHS.
 
Thanks, kdiddy89! My OptomCAS was mailed out July 25.

I hope you hear back soon!

When is your interview and I'm wondering if you'd already seen it before and what you thought of the place. I heard they have the school "campus" spread between several buildings that used to be hotels, etc.? But it looks nice online. Too far for me to visit unfortunately. :/
 
I just set up my interview for next Thursday! They only offer weekday interviews. This was the only Thursday they had, and all subsequent interviews are on Tuesdays.

I have not been to campus before, but they said after the interview, they will have a tour.

Awesome! Good luck and I'd be curious to get your impressions next week after your interview! 🙂
 
Has anyone been offered any interview invites yet?

I just received an interview invite from PCO. My OptomCAS application was only mailed out 6 days ago too, not bad at all. PS, i scheduled my interview for 9/24.
 
I had my interview at SCO today. I believe it went quite well!
 
SCCO probs pushed back the interview dates b/c of Berkeley. They were probs sick of a decent amount of their class leaving for Berkeley so wanted a more realistic commitment from people ....
 
I just received a interview from PCO. I was wondering if they ask all applicants to come for a interview or its for students they are considering? I am asking because I haven't taken my OATS yet.
 
Anything from SUNY guys?
Did you pay a supplementary fee for SUNY? And did they even contact you acknowledging receipt of your OptomCAS apkcation?

I paid for some fee for suny on optomcas only. I havent been contacted by suny directly. What about you?

Me neither. I thought they also have a supplementary application fee (ie an additional application fee that applicants pay to them directly). Was wondering if people had heard about that.

I found a thing online yesterday from SUNY but it looked like an old website on their servers and so I didn't go through with it. But I believe it was $70.. I'd rather wait to hear from them than pay prematurely on my own.
 
Same here pretty much.

Would appreciate info/updates from others who hear back from suny.
 
Has anybody heard anything from either The Ohio State University or the University of Houston?
 
I'd also be interested to know whether or not people have heard from Ohio State.
 
I had my interview at SCO today. I believe it went quite well!

Congrats! Mind if i ask what kinds of questions do they asked you? Closed/open file? one-on-one? I just got my invite today

I just received an email letting me know they have received my application and they are asking I pay $40 for the supplemental fee.

Hello! I just scheduled my appointment today. I was wondering if there is any information you can provide about the interview.
