Thanks! I assumed it must be after Dec. 1 because of AADSAS, but I assumed Gavin had done all of his interviewing prior to Dec. 1, which was made me wonder.

Most all of mine where before Dec. 1st also. My application was processed in june and i started to get all these interviews in August, Sept, Oct. The problem was that i had classes at that time and had to schedule interviews around tests. So my last interview at Arizona ended up being after Dec. 1st. Hopefully you aren't taking as many classes as i was and can schedule your interviews right when you get them.
 
Anyone want to offer up some good interview tips? I'm assuming this isn't quite like a job interview...

I know youve heard it a million times, but it couldnt be more true....JUST BE YOURSELF!!! If youve gotten to the interview stage that means the school WANTS YOU....so you'll notice that they are trying to impress you, not the other way around...if you're yourself and polite, thats all you need!
 
Nothing like talkin to someone who is trying to impress you. if you come of geniune and polite, most schools will extend an invite come dec 1st.

Bad vibes, how life in Costa Rica?
 
I got accepted to UCSF a few hours after I interviewed. I was pretty shocked. Drop dead, couldn't say anything. Hmmm, it was one of the strangest moment in life. I remember at the interview, I was told that they will get back to me within one month. No hint what soever.

Good surprise, though. Much better than waiting for a month, I guess.

If you don't mind me asking (and are still subscribed to this thread), what was your GPA and your DAT score?

Thanks,

Justin (2thDMD)
 
had an interview at ucla a couple weeks back......and at the end he told me "you're going to be ok, so just enjoy the rest of your day."

i got a call 1 week later.
 
When I interviewed at UCSF, my interviewer I think liked the way I greeted him and then he gave me his business card. After I was done with my interview, he said that everything looked great.

On December 1st, I got "Offer Made" on my AADSAS account.
 
My interviewer professor just said I think you would do great here. 2 weeks later, acceptance came.
 
At Pacific, the interviewer told me "you will get in." He told me to write thank-you letters to a couple of specific people; I did, and got personal email thanking me for the letter, but was waitlisted. I mean, I still might get in eventually, but it was disappointing. Other people who applied that day did get accepted.
 
one of the staff interviewers at mich told me after my MMI with him that i had nothing to worry about and that he would love to see someone like me at the school...made my week :]
 
interviewer told me I was "just what the school needed" and he "hopes" I get in.

still waiting...
