People that say they didn't get one, did you get a rejection? Or just no email?

@LeTitsNow, you gonna interview me?
Woke up to an interview invite this morning (OOS)! Yay! Anyone know how many people they typically interview?
For those of you who applied, would you be willing to share stats? I am interested in applying to Minnesota next cycle. I'm wondering if I have a chance. My last 45 GPA is 3.52 and my pre-req is 3.43. My GRE which I am willing to retake is 308 combined. I have more than 500 hours working and doing research in an infectious disease lab, 300 hours interning at a wildlife center under a vet, 25 hours doing research on bears, 300 hours of large animal experience through college, 75 hours large animal vet experience, 10 hours pocket pet vet experience, 5,000 hours companion animal and pocket pet experience through volunteering, pet-sitting, and clubs, and 3,500 hours of small animal vet experience (2500 at one practice as a technician and 1000 at another practice shadowing and working as a vet assistant) . I put all my eggs in one basket this cycle and I'm working on saving to apply to more schools this cycle. Do I have a chance or am I kidding myself...
Sorry girl *hugs*Update: Now rejected. Good luck to everyone still in the game!

Don't plan for failure Practicing behavioral questions is good but what really helped me was reviewing my application and experiences and pulling out specific examples of things that happened for each that I could draw upon if they became relevant. For example, I thought about negative experiences at one work place and how I turned the situations around, and drew from that whenever I got asked a question like "describe a time when you had to overcome an obstacle to complete a goal." Think about positive experiences too, but I thought it was more helpful to think about negative experiences that I could spin to a positive light or ended with a positive outcome. I don't mean lie about things that happened, just think of better examples where it started negative but ended up positive. Having a bunch of experiences "in the holster" as it were made it easier to answer questions and reduced most of my "brain fart" moments.Hello all! I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on interviewing for UMN? I am flying out to interview on Feb 12! I know it is a behavioral type interview but I was just wondering if anyone on here has gone through an interview for them before? I heard there were about 10 interview questions and i've been practicing by looking up behavioral type questions online but there are SO MANY examples online and it is a bit overwhelming to come up with answers to all of them! I am AWFUL at interviews so i'm just absolutely terrified I will freeze up and not be able to come up with an answer during the interview

It's probably not harder. I also had Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday off and only 3 hours on Tuesday Although next week I have class Monday-Saturday, and yes they are making us come in for a half day on Saturday over MVMA because they hate us.Wow. They've made third year harder since I was there.

So you can still get out of it if I am? No I'm not, though @dovelover might be (not sure if she still checks SDN anymore though).I should ask before I firm up plans .... Are you going on the spring break SIRVS trip?
The tour is inside for the most part, you really only go outside for a moment. I wore business casual the second day and was fine. I had fancy-ish booties with thick heels and walked carefully but wasn't outside long enough to be at risk of slipping and falling. I had a pretty hefty coat, but that's just because it's the coat that I own. The ambassadors were walking around in sweatshirts the whole time.Hi guys, any tips on how to dress for the interview in Minnesota weather? This would be my first time visiting, and I really have no idea. What kinda shoes? How hefty should my coat be? I checked the weather report, and it said around 25-30 degrees avg.?
Also, I'm staying in downtown. Should I rent a car for transportation or should I save my money and try the public transit? Any tips would be appreciated!
