**Official MWU-IL interview/acceptance/rejection thread**

when did the very first group that interview at mwu il?
I interviewed here earlier this week and had a great experience! I wasn't sure what to expect of the school but was pleasantly surprised with the program and students. The MMI experience ... meh. The interview day in general felt kind of long. There was some kid with patents and inventions!!! 
That threw me off my game a little as im your "average applicant" but he turned out to be real nice and helped calm my nerves a bit during the MMI lol. In conclusion, dont stress about the MMI as you really cant predict what they will ask but take a deep breath and show them who you are. Best of luck everyone!!

Lollll this dude was a stud. 4 inventions
So there's no real way of preparing? is it only MMI interview?I interviewed here earlier this week and had a great experience!

Spot on. A stud he was lollll.
Thats not necessarily true. You can read online about ethical questions that could be asked, general questions they could have for you, etc. You can definitely prepare by dressing well, being alert, and smile. Aside from that the questions or scenarios cant be predicted. I remember one of the questions they asked me was almost a curveball and the interviewer played poker face with me haha. Scenarios like that I would answer the question with your honest opinion as there is no right answer. Hope this helps!
Good luck to anyone interviewing Tuesday, I'll see you there.

@ anyone who had their interview here so far this cycle:
were the interview questions this year similar to the ones from previous years (as seen in the interview feedback section?) were they impossible? or requiring a lot of specific background knowledge that you'd need to do a Google search for?
would anyone who had their interview this year mind making a post in interview feedback? my interview is tomorrow and I'm terrified haha
thanks!!!!! any advice/feedback helps

and does anyone know how large the interview groups at MWU IL are?
They're not impossible but might throw you off a bit. Nothing you'll need background knowledge for, just be yourself!! And don't be nervous, I really really love this school and a big reason is how friendly everyone is. You'll do great!

Is it too late to apply here?
Interviewed here and am OOS, they don't use AADSAS at all, it doesn't even show up on mine.
Interviewed here on october 4th..great school..about twenty people at the interview. they split you up into two groups. one group interviews first and the second group does the tour first
How long after you submit the app and received the secondary did it take for them to offer you an interview?

E-submit: June 3
Received Supplemental: June 20
Interview Invitation: September 6
So to answer your question, a pretty long time haha.
Loved the school and surprisingly I liked the MMI style. Had a few stumbles during two questions. I feel like 4 of the 6 went very well. I hope that doesn't disqualify me.
Care to share what questions they asked? Thanks!
Don't quote me on this but I think you aren't allowed to discuss that haha
Haha I was at that interview too.I interviewed here earlier this week and had a great experience!

Yesterday afternoon. That's what I thought too. Apparently not. Kind of surprised though, considering I have two+ years of legitimate diagnostic/therapeutic hospital work.
:/ maybe they thought you were overqualified? Acceptances really are crapshoots.
I am sorry, hopefully it works out at another school! Was thie rejection pre or post interview?

No interview. Straight up mail to the box.
Do they send rejections after interview or do you wait till dec before you hear anything?
If you've already gotten an interview they can't notify you of a rejection or acceptance until Dec 1, atleast.

Does anyone know if MWU IL has any preferences when it comes to looking at the different GPA calculations provided by ADEA AADSAS? I'm aware that the MWU AZ campus looks at the BCP rather than science and also only looks at with +/- and I was just wondering if MWU IL does that as well
I think it was 7 stations and 1 rest station. None asked me anything personal so not sure if it's open or not.
7 stations!! looks scary. do they ask follow up questions if u r stuck while talking about the prompt.
Also FYI - when I spoke with the admissions counselor I've been in contact with, she made it a point to say that a majority of MWU-IL's interviews are scheduled for after the first of the year. So it seems like while it's technically a rolling admissions process, applying later in the cycle is not as detrimental as it might be at other dental schools.
Does this mean that pre December interviews will be especially competitive and only a small fraction of pre Dec interviewees will be accepted? if most of the class will be accepted post-Dec 1?
I received it too! For those who received the demographic update, was it just the question "were you born in the United States?" That's the only one I had
Also did people who haven't been invited for an interview yet receive the update on the MDW portal?
That I don't know - my guess would be that pre-January 1st interviews would be scheduled for very strong applicants. Just my hunch though.
