Anyone know how the interview is or have had there’s and have any feedback? This is my first one all cycle I want to know what to expect and how to prepare?

From what I've read in previous posts, the interview is pretty laidback. They just want to know you and make sure you are who you said you are on your AMCAS and tOSU application. So make sure you know your application thoroughly. If you have family or friends that you can practice with, that is recommended. You can search online for medical school interview questions and try answering them while your family or friends interview you. You should have a structure for your answers but make sure you don't sound like you are reading off a script. So be flexible during the interview! Make sure you read up what you should avoid during an interview, like certain taboos. Let me know if you have any more questions 🙂

thanks so much!
 
Hi! Does anyone know when we'll receive information about the interview day? Time? Schedule? OR have any of you received that information?

Nope. I was hoping that information would come soon so I'd know how much time to take off from work.

How are you guys practicing for your Medpath interviews?

I've heard that it'll be like a med school interview, so I asked my advisor for some practice questions and I also have been using some questions from the University of Washington's bioethics site.
 
Also, Interview information is out for those of us interviewing April 7th. We have a different social event date (April 6th)!! Yay ☺️!!
 
I found a Youtube video of Dr. McDougle addressing some interview tips. It's from 2014 but I still think it's helpful since he'll be part of our interview committee. Clearly someone substituted the word "i n t e r v i e w" with "Easter egg hunt" since it's April 1st...

Congratulations to you both & all who are accepted!! It really sounds like a phenomenal program! I was deferred and placed on the waitlist but I've heard people get in off the waitlist... we'll seeee *insert prayer hands*

Did anyone receive anything in the mail yet ?

No, not yet. Glad I'm not alone in that. I emailed Mrs. Nikki almost two weeks ago about something else and she said she would also send out an email confirming all our addresses before sending the acceptance letters...but like I said, that was almost two weeks ago and I have not gotten an email from her yet. Did anyone receive an email confirming their address?
 
So if we get an Acceptance to another medical school to start in the fall, we don't have a choice to still do Medpath, do we? I am conflicted because OSU is my dream school, but is it worth delaying a year ..

I think that's right. If you get an acceptance to a school you'd have to withdraw from MEDPATH. If it's a special circumstance, do you think it's something you could ask them about?

But can’t you choose to decline the acceptance to the other medical school and do the Medpath program?

I think that if you have an acceptance to another school it would be morally/ethically correct to forgo acceptance to MEDPATH. It has been reiterated multiple times to us throughout the process that an additional acceptance warrants surrendering your MEDPATH acceptance. There are people that are currently on the waitlist and this may be their only shot this cycle. Just my unbiased two cents, I have already been accepted so I don't have a dog in this fight ✌️

Yes, you're right. That is exactly what I did. I hope I was able to make someone on the waitlist's day 🙂. Best of luck to all of you in the next year!🤍
 
Has Mrs. Nikki reach out to any of you guys to make a schedule for the Medpath program?
 
Anyone has a thread for this years medpath program process?
