The questions last year were more scenario based. Like think of a time you were working in a group and… how did you react? Or like tell us about a time when you…
Interesting..behavioral interview questions are the hardest!
Me too! Good luck with it! You got this!
Ditto!
I haven’t done it yet
I think mid February?
Yeah the dean makes his phone calls in mid-February. He calls each admitted student individually so it can take a week or so. After all the phone calls are made, then waitlist and rejection emails are sent.
I really enjoyed it! I liked most questions except for one wild card. I didn’t like that we didn’t have any time, I felt like I couldn’t really show off who I was or my true thought process - but I think short and sweet will make them remain engaged when reviewing our answers.
I absolutely think it’s normal. It was my first interview and I don’t feel confident
I agree and particularly due to the way the interview is conducted: you are just speaking to the screen and you don't receive any feedback. This was not my first interview, the first was online but with another person on the other side, and receiving smiles and laughs from the interviewer helped me feel more confident, but with Purdue's style that doesn't happen. We usually are very hard on ourselves, I don't feel confident either but I'm sure we did better than we think!!
Thank you and @flotus for replying. That makes me feel better that there are others that feel the same as me. But I completely agree that not having active feedback isn’t very reassuring.
You might be thinking of Vet Scholars? Veterinary Scholars Program
To my knowledge, they do reserve a set amount of seats for Purdue grads...at least that was what I was told ~5 years ago when I was looking to get my undergrad from there.
My guess would be no, they're normally pretty consistent with mid-February (normally around Valentine's Day), but we can hope! Also, remember the dean calls each accepted student individually so it takes a few days for him to get through everyone.
Didn’t know I was supposed to hear from them via phone call! Good to know, thanks <3
No problem! Also for more info on what to expect, the call will be from a 765 area code number and I believe should start with 494 (meaning it comes from Purdue). That’s what it has been in the past at least, but as always it could change!
Right, I literally hyperventilated.
The wind chill was always brutal in west laf. I think my junior year of undergrad we had classes canceled all day because the wind chill was -35… and there was nothing like walking under the math building ice/wind tunnel
do you happen to know in what order (if any) that they start calling accepted applicants? i'm a W in the last name department so i'm v worried lol
From what I've heard there's not necessarily a pattern to the calls. Some people have said IS and then OOS but I haven't seen solid evidence for that. I don't think there's any pattern by last name either. I got my call on the Friday they started and I'm about the middle of the alphabet.
Do you think calls will start tomorrow? I’m so nervous!!!!
Possibly! They started this Friday last year and they had the admissions retreat the Wednesday before. If not, I’d guess they start Monday!
Do you know around what time they started making calls last year?? Late in the day or early
My call came at 3:48 pm. That’s the earliest I’ve heard but I also haven’t asked around to find out how early on Friday calls started. I’d guess mid afternoon, if calls start today (and just a reminder - I don’t know that they will)
The anticipation is eating me alive 😫
The amount I've been refreshing this thread today is unhealthy🤣
same omg! i’m not giving up hope that there won’t be any calls today yet
In the wise words of Mr. SquarePants, I’m ready!
