I have been told that they are going to be local for the most part at NEA hospital and St. Bernard's. Some will be a little farther out in cities in Northeast Arkansas (ex Searcy, Batesville). This is what I have heard from some of my friends involved with the Medical school, I am from the area.
So this goes out to anyone who has been accepted: what did your interviewer say after you were done? Also, how important is the interview at this stage in comparison to the application?
The interview is for sure the most important. Just be relaxed and explain to them what makes you passionate about medicine and why this would make you a good DO. Also, make sure you can explain why DO is for you instead of it sounding like a back up plan for if you don't get into an MD program.
Thanks I actually went to go interview yesterday and it went very well. There has just been several people who said that the interview isn't that important. I wondered if it applied to the school as well but thank you for your reply
That's actually very reassuring! My MCAT wasn't brought up in my interview, but it's always hard to know how they'll view MCAT scores, especially when they're comparing applicants.
Yeah they didn't bring up my grades either. They were just questions about my background and how I deal with stress. In all, I did feel it went well but there were about 17 people in my group. There's 115 seats with a max of 124 and they have received 1800 applications. So I just wonder how many people they are interviewing.
Sorry not negotiable, that's the market here. Probably bc the college students get in groups of 3 and pay $400 per bedroom. No pet policy, the yard is fenced in. Like I said in the earlier post, about a 5-10 min drive to campus depending on traffic. If still interested PM me and I can send photos.
Okay great thanks I can't give up my pup! Hope you find someone here! However I will say they mentioned something about graduate housing on campus.
And as an added bonus, your land lord is an attending physician. I'll throw in the mentoring for free ha
I just got an email in the NYIT email box about the new apartments. That's how I knew about it
don't use your actually profile picture if it is you. Also I heard it can be a week or so...
Hi thank you. I'm new here so thanks for the advice!
All good I did the same thing. I interviewed 2/2 and I haven't heard back. I'm not sure if anyone from my group has heard anything. There were about 16 of us. How many were in your group?
There was approximately 15-20 others present that day. I think they had groups A-D and rooms 1-5 as well but I'm not sure if each letter was filled up all the way to 5. Hopefully we both will hear back soon!
Did they call you or was it an email/letter in the mail?
Wow!!! That's very fast. How many people were in your group?
So if they're interviewing that many people several people won't be accepted.... do you think they only take people who interviewed well? I've been told they look at diversity too. I'm just getting nervous haha.
Yep it's the only thing that's left to do. Do you feel several interviewers tell every applicant they did a good job during the interview?
Congratulations! Do you think you'll be attending?
Well regardless congrats! I hope to hear back some time this week. I'm shooting for today but who knows. Also, that's great that you're married, if I get accepted you won't be the only person who is married!
When did you interview and hear back about acceptance?
Thanks!
Okay! I got an email from them that said that it was supposed to be done within 30 days of acceptance. Which seemed really odd. Ive been accepted for like 3 months also haha
What are your other choices?
