I submitted my application back in June, but it still says "none" under the check status tab for AADSAS. Just wondering if it also says that for you guys.

Hi everyone,
Did anyone interview with Midwestern Illinois (CDMI) before? Any pieces of advice? Are they doing a group interview or one on one/two?

 

[thatgirl143]

Did anyone else hear back?

 

[williflame23]

Hi everyone,

There is a 1 on 2 interview with faculty members, and a mini group discussion where they give you a scenario and you discuss it with your group. It was honestly very laid back.

Thank you! Also, how long were your interview? How many minutes they give you to answer and discuss?

Interview was around 25 mins long. They didn't time my answers they just asked me questions and I gave a full answer.

 

[willnewman]

I received an email saying they had all of my required information, but on the AADSAS website it says "none" for decision status, is anyone else having this problem?

Don't read too much into AADSAS statuses. Schools forget/neglect to update on AADSAS most of the times.

Yes! I submitted my application at the end of July and just received an invite to interview on 10/18. Turnaround is very quick right now for interviews, less than 2 weeks after they sent out the email.

 

[runningonmatcha]

For anyone who has completed the virtual interview, was it in a group setting or 1:1? Have yet to receive more information. Thank you

 

[PNWLO]

For anyone who has completed the virtual interview, was it in a group setting or 1:1? Have yet to receive more information. Thank you

Hey! I think the virtual / in person are fairly similar in structure. You have a 1:1 interview, although I had 2 faculty with me. Then there is a group setting where you discuss an ethical stiuation.

 

[96asb]

Has anyone heard back after interviewing? or will we hear back on dec 15?

 

[macsak]

Has anyone heard back after interviewing? or will we hear back on dec 15?

it is against the rules to accept anyone before dec 15...

 

[Christen Poole]

If you interviewed virtually, when did you get the zoom link for the interview? Mine is Monday and I haven’t received an email with the link!
