I’m confused about their entire process. I just got an email Friday telling me now I could just apply with my paragraphs and get everything together later? They should’ve used gradcas like AZ did them we could’ve just added them.

I’ve been getting emails telling me to Apply now! Lol. I’m assuming they’re just trying to get their names out. I think we’re all in the same boat, at least there was nothing else sent to us after the equivalency link. Hopefully we’ll hear mid February?

I’m scheduled to work the day they scheduled me... anyone else rescheduling? I don’t want to click “reschedule” and have another date I can’t do... or does it let you choose?

I clicked reschedule because I also work that exact time. So it just said admissions will email me with a different day maybe?
 
Those of you who already received interview invite, were you able to submit you official transcripts, GRE and letters of recommendation? I'm still waiting for some of mine to send them.

I got an interview invite.

Submitted the initial application mid November and immediately had all my GRE scores, transcripts, and letters of recommendations sent, which was received by around Thanksgiving time. It took some time for LIU to verify they received everything and it took some initiative on my part of reaching out to them to make sure they received all my applicant materials. Got the equivalency application from them by early December and then I reached out to verify my application was complete by mid December.

I believe LIU is on rolling admissions (unless that has changed since the last time I checked). Would they still accept the rest of your application materials considering the application deadline passed nearly two weeks ago? I'd contact them and find out.

Thank you! I submitted the application January 15, and it did say I can submit the official transcripts and such after the deadline. Received the supplemental application and self-reporting parts a few days later. I also emailed them about the way they want the letters of recommendation last week as the student ID doesn't show on the portal. Nowhere in the response did they indicate I was too late but I also was not given any deadline. From what I can see on their website, they didn't close the applications yet either. It is a little confusing. But at least I see some sort of timeline once I have everything submitted and/or received and verified.

I had to email them to ask them for my student ID number so that my letter of recommendation writers could send their letters. It's good that you can submit the rest of your materials after the application date. If you are unsure of anything the best thing to do is to ask them directly because only they can give you an actual answer towards the progress of your application with them.
 
I had to reschedule my interview date because I was working the date/time they scheduled me... for anyone else that had to as well, has admissions contacted you to reschedule yet?

I believe they have rolling admissions so I think the earlier you apply the earlier you hear back.
 
Has anyone been on the interview yet? I scheduled mine. I’m super nervous I’ve never had a video interview. I was wondering if someone could tell me how it went/any hard questions they asked!! Thanks
 
Have not done it yet, but I just got an email from them to maintain question/discussion confidentiality. Schools that do MMIs tend to be super strict about not sharing specific questions and some make you sign a nondisclosure agreement that states that you understand that.

Having said that, there are loads of online resources you can take a look at to get yourself comfortable with the format of the MMI and broadly the types of questions or prompts they can give you.

Did they state they were doing MMI format on there site?
 
Lisagk said:
Yes and I just got an email that it was an MMI too.

Do you know anything about MMI? I’ll definitely look it up, I’ve just never done one before so any tips or information about them would be helpful or helpful links that you plan on using with sample prompts. I also wonder how a MMI will work over video.

They give you three minutes to read the prompt on screen and seven minutes to answer the question. When you complete the question the interviewer will ask you if that completes your response, and if there is time left then they will chit chat with you, which will not affect your interview.
They are looking for you to answer with conviction. Don't second guess yourself or say you "might do this" or "would probably do that."
Know your shortcomings, and be able to address those. They want to know that youre a good candidate that isn't perfect, but can fail and adjust. From most MMI practice questions that is one of the major overarching themes.

Do you know of any links that helped you prepare or any practice questions to go over? And also as far as shortcomings, just so I’m clear, you mean know what could fail with the plan and address them?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Its more like errors you've made and how you learned from them and how they made you stronger. I didnt prep for any of my MMIs. I kind of like to go in and address the questions with a fresh mind, where my critical thinking is really tested

Okay so it’s not like errors that could be made within the prompt, it’s just be clear of errors you have made in case they ask about any.
 
Question about the supplemental application portal. Does it change any when they receive documents, or should I call them to verify? They should have everything by now, but the portal still shows the same thing. Thank you!

I have an interview to LIU coming up this Saturday (2/8). Has anyone had an interview and know what style they are using?
 
I will be declining my interview invite (originally it was Saturday but I rescheduled it to March 1st). Hopefully that gives an opportunity to someone who hasn’t heard yet!!
 
Has anyone used Zoom before? Are there any special steps? I feel like the website implies that it needs to be downloaded to the computer but I clicked the link and it allows me to enter without downloading, but I want to make sure it will work for tomorrow morning.

I’ve never used it before but I personally did download it onto my computer just to be safe! I also tested my audio and video too which is under settings.

Just interviewed. Pretty sure I bombed it but I hope other people had a positive experience!

I have mine tomorrow! A little nervous because interviews aren’t my thing! Did you feel the questions were doable to answer?

Yes, the questions were able to be answered.

I think it's good to practice having a video interview because I personally am much better when I interview in person and I think that's a reason why I feel as if I did not perform as well as I would have hoped.

Good luck tomorrow!
 
Hey just wondering how the interview went for people who had one yesterday? And how you prepared/how you think you could have prepared better? Or any other tips!!
 
I had my interview yesterday, I honestly didn’t prepare at all for it. All of the questions were deff do-able. Just be aware of the time because u have 7 minutes to respond to the question. So make sure you either get everything in you want to say and also try not to answer the question in 1 minute. You don’t need to use the whole time to answer it if you feel you said everything you wanted to say. Just relax, it was an enjoyable interview experience in my opinion.
 
I enjoyed this interview more than the other interviews I’ve done. I prefer MMI cause I don’t like talking about myself; with LIU, I felt I was given adequate time to think through the scenarios and generate a solid response. We were also left alone so we didn’t feel pressured by someone starting at us while we were thinking. And even if the interviewer was present, they stayed quiet and respectful and were not allowed hear an answer before the 3 minutes were up.

Overall, I liked it much more than other MMI’s I’ve been apart of.

How did the MMI work with a video interview? Was the prompt just shown on the screen? We’re the questions a variety of scenarios or mainly veterinary medicine based? Thanks!

The prompt was shown as a PowerPoint slide. As far as your second question, we’re not allowed to delve into any information about the questions themselves. But they were typical MMI questions, nothing unexpected.
 
Hey guys! does anyone know if they're still sending out interview invites? or have they all gone out already?
I emailed admissions to find out the status of my application since everything was sent, but no response yet... getting nervous!
