I just went on interview waitlist, I feel like that is so late in the game.

Me too, just received the email. The good thing is they told me that if I get an invitation it will be via email, now I won't have to log in to that portal every day😅

Me too! I hadn't heard a thing from them since I submitted my application in August, so I just assumed I wasn't being considered any longer. I agree it feels so late.

just got the waitlist email too😭 so many people are on the waitlist for interview… does that mean we are at the end

Since they verify applications on a rolling basis, I think yes, we are at the end

I know this is a different year, but a recent Midwestern vet graduate I work with said she didn’t get an interview until March. Looks like the most recent interviews are set for the beginning of February, so if it’s anything like the last few years, there’s still time!

Is it possible to still be removed from the alternative list and offered a spot?

 

[Rosejanini]

Is it possible to still be removed from the alternative list and offered a spot?

Yes it is. I am also on the alternate list and when I called them they said it’s possible to be pulled anytime from now till even 2 weeks into the school year.

 

[kweis5]

Has anyone who interviewed on 11/30 heard anything yet?

 

[Sierra Ortiz]

I heard on December 7th!

 

[Ocmdlova]

I heard on December 7th!

I still haven’t heard. Did they email you ?

 

[wildpuppy]

That givens me some hope. When was your interview? Mine was in October

 

[lolacocacola]

I was waitlisted and received an interview invitation today via email! Finally!

when were you waitlisted for interview ?

 

[Rosejanini]

I interviewed on Nov 17th and they sent me an email that I am an Alternate on Dec 7th.

 

[lolacocacola]

when were you waitlisted for interview ?

I received the email on Jan 10

 

[lolacocacola]

How much time do the interviews take? And do we have to participate in the different events during that day? I just saw the "Virtual Interview Day Schedule" but it's for the 21-22 cycle, so I don't know if they're doing it like that for this cycle.

 

[dibsndots]

I received the email on Jan 10

omgg they lifted you off the waitlist like 2 days later?

 

[wildpuppy]

Does anyone know roughly how many people are currently on the alternative list?

 

[kweis5]

Do we think that the class is full since people have now been placed on the alternative list? I was really hoping I’d have a chance at an acceptance but with each day passing I lose more and more hope 😫

 

[Ocmdlova]

Have you tried calling them ?

 

[hannahwilliams]

Not necessarily. There are people with multiple acceptances who are still waiting for a couple more schools before making their final decisions!

I have a Midwestern and Colorado acceptance but my interview at my IS school isn’t until next week so I have no idea where I’m going yet. The alternative list should see some movement but probably not until closer to the April deadline for most schools when people start accepting their seats elsewhere!

 

[Ocmdlova]

Oka guys my fingers are crossed for this week since when I called for an update a couple of weeks ago they told me the committee would be meeting on the 17th .! 😬😬😬

 

[lolacocacola]

Yes!! I’m still in shock

Can someone who has interviewed answer this? Pleaseee and thank you!! <3

My interview was around 35 minutes, very relaxed and conversational. I had the worst MMI interview moments from LMU so I was super nervous, but I felt like they loved listening to my words.

I think for the first 2 hours you watch their school presentation followe by a Q&A session. Then you break out into a room to wait for interviewers to come.

Once finished, you're good to go and you can exit zoom.

 

[Futubet431]

So, the whole thing was about 3 hours.

 

[Ocmdlova]

So just called to get an update and the most recent meeting was canceled and it’s unsure when the next one will be 🫠 Could be looking At February for the next set of decisions 😑

Thank you!! But this is not a MMI, right?

 

[Inexorabilis]

Thank you!! But this is not a MMI, right?

For Midwestern, mine was just a standard interview with two interviewers at the same time. Not an MMI!

 

[User1_11]

Does anybody know the acceptance rate for those who got interviews? Looking at the past couple years’ threads, it seems like most people who got interviews got accepted, if not all. I’m just trying to prepare for mine and worry I’ll screw it up

The way it was explained to me is- for each interview for their 120-person class, they will interview 160 people. So I think after the interview, you have around a 25% chance.

Midwestern just emailed me and offered me a transfer application into another program 😭😭 like what I hate that

Mine said “ Although you haven’t received a favorable response in the program” makes me feel like I’m rejected 😅

debating pulling my application solely because of that unnecessary email.

Same! I was thinking I'd like to be a vet but I guess podiatry or pharmacist will work out.

 

[Ocmdlova]

Still nothing on my end 🫠😭

[dibsndots]

for those who interviewed, was it behavioral based questions or ethical based ?

 

[Inexorabilis]

I distinctly remember two ethical questions during my interview but there was a mix of both if I remember correctly.

was it very conversational? or very strict and formal

 

[riverdog4]

was it very conversational? or very strict and formal

Mine was a bit ago, but it was probably the most formal interview I’ve had so far. Most of my others were more conversational. But, I think others had varying experiences depending on who they were interviewing with! Overall it wasn’t bad though.

i have mine next week and i just have no idea what to expect ! any group interviews or just one on one?

 

[Inexorabilis]

Definitely more formal "ask and answer". No input from the interviewers until the very end. One of my interviewers appeared to be in a poor mood which was very intimidating. The other was inviting enough, but it was certainly not conversational. I also had technical difficulties the first few minutes (lost connection twice ) so I was pretty rattled, but I received an acceptance so don't fret too much if anything goes wrong out of your control.
