Has anyone here interviewed with Ross? I have one at the end of the month and I was wondering what kind of questions might be asked. Also, I know Ross sometimes gives acceptances right away so if I have to interview does that mean that I still have a decent chance at acceptance even if I didn't get accepted right away?

Ive never heard that Ross U offers acceptances without an interview. I specifically heard that about AUC which I wasnt happy about because that is an important part of the admissions process IMO. So I asked during the interview and was told that everyone must interview in order to be accepted to this years class.
Good Luck my friend

I had an interview. If you are Canadian you will have the same person as me. Seriously, it was not bad at all. The first question the interviewer asked me was "What is your family like"? which really made me comfortable because my family is crazy. The rest of the interview just felt like a conversation. Practice and you will be fine.
At Ross U interview I felt like I was giving a report to the police. Interviewed by Tom Hueller and he kept a very neutral face and sometimes I felt cut off before I had the chance to finish my answers. Either way, just be calm and honest. I got accepted to Ross School of Med 3 days after my interview.
Accepted to UMHS St Kitts but dont think I'm going. Accepted to Saba w/ phone interview, and yes accepted to AUC w/o any interview.
Preparing for my interview at TouroCOM DO school this month, that's what I'm really shooting for.

Did you apply for the May or September term? Was this interview recent?
I applied for May term. Turned in my application on March 4th this year..which I thought is VERY late for May term. I started sending in my supplemental materials (transcripts, money, MCAT scores) before I sent my application just to make sure things go smoothly. By March 11th, I was offered an interview. The interview was scheduled for March 19th in California (Thursday). 3 business days later (Tuesday of the following week) I got acceptance notice from Tom Hueller.
Overall progress very quick and friendly. I definitely recommend applying to Ross if you choose the caribbean route.

Among the things I was asked included: 1. What are your strengths? (other students were asked about their weaknesses as well), 2. When did you know you wanted to practice medicine? (which got me to talk about my early life experiences (they were relevant in my case) clinical experiences, shadowing and research and how they influenced my decision to pursue medicine), 3. Where did you grow up? (they asked other students to describe their family as well), 4. She asked me about the adjustment from high school to undergrad (if you had a hard time early on, be able to explain why (maybe you were academically disadvantaged, you had to work or you had a sick loved one you had to support), also be able to explain any bad grades or semesters), 5. Why Ross? (i.e. USMLE pass rates, residency placements into competitive programs and institutions, PBL and integrated curriculum, etc)?, 6. Where else did I apply? (I expected this beforehand because I read other threads, but I dislike this question), 7. What at Ross will help me succeed? (i.e. problem based learning because as a physician you have to work as part of a team and PBL helps you appreciate entertaining multiple perspectives when presented with a medical case), 8. How do I overcome stress? (i.e. music, sports, reading (if you're into that), etc), 9. How does your family feel about you going to Ross? and 10. How could I use what I learned in my clinical experiences to help me when I am ultimately a physician? (Some semesters I did a couple of things at a time, so it taught me humility and how to multitask when I had many responsibilities)? It ended with questions I had, which I expected, so I prepared five questions beforehand (this can help show them that you are interested and well informed about the school). If I think of anything else I'll post it, but I'm pretty sure this is about it. My interview was about 45 minutes long, which is longer than most people's; I tend to talk a lot. Overall, learn more about Ross through their website, be confident about the questions I posted and questions similar to them, dress professionally, expect the unexpected (but look confident in anything they ask you even if you're not) and maintain eye contact. Good luck!

Dear Student Doc Members,
I'll be applying to Carribean schools next year and I have a few questions for you guys. The following are the questions:
1. What type of MCAT score do SGU, ROSS, AUC, AUA and SABA expect?
2. What is the min. MCAT score required for SGU, ROSS, AUC, AUA and SABA?
3. I have a 3.4 GPA (science GPA about a 3.0), heavily involved in university clubs (president of two), part of 5 honor societies. My MCAT score will be released this Tuesday. Based off the given info what are my chances in getting into SGU, ROSS, AUC, AUA, and SABA?
I would extremely appreciate it if someone could answer the above for me. Thank you and congrats to those who have been accepted!🙂
