Hi out there....I was hoping I would come in to contact with someone who was at the interview session on Saturday March 10th, 2012. Have you guys heard anything back yet? 🙂😕
 
Hi HopefulMD7500,

Although I didn't have interviews on March 10; however, I had my 2 interviews on March 17. I got contacted 2 days later to have an additional interview with the Director of the program. So, I am not sure whether (1) my interviews went well and he simply wants to talk 🙂 or (2) one interviewer didn't "like me" and he wants to know why to determine what to do next with me 🙁

When are your interviews by the way?
 
Thanks for responding....My interview was on the 10th of March and I haven't heard anything yet...I am hoping to find out soon...I hope you get in!!

Thank you HMD7500. I hope so too and hopefully you will hear back soon.

I wanted to ask if anybody who had interviews on March 17 heard anything back?

The interview went well, for about an hour. I guess he wanted to know if I was serious about pursuing what I am trying to do and clear out some concerns that, I think, were raised after my initial interviews. As a note, I didn't realize that they invite for a 2nd round of interviews cause I had thought I may flunked the first round round of interviews. The story short, I got in 🙂

Did you interview with Dr. Rothman yet? If so, how did it go? Did you hear anything back?
 
Oh good for you! How long did it take for them to notify youthat you got in after the 2nd round? I'm worried I got invited for a second interview bc I messed up on the first :-/

My 2nd interview with him is coming up and I'm trying not to freak out. Does it mean I messed up on the 1st interview? How long did it take for you to hear back about being admitted? Trying to calm down
 
So, it looks like a few of you on here have been interviewed, how was it? What did they ask? What was the atmosphere like? I've read in other threads that it was a petty relaxed interview and that I should be relax, but I'm feeling a bit unprepared with what I need to do for the interview. Was there anything you did that you felt helped you answer the questions. My interview is April 15, so, I'm trying to figure out what to do here. Any information would be good. Thanks!

They asked various questions such as why you are doing this, what makes you different from other candidates, how can you handle stress, can you manage classes and work simultaneous, do you have any clinical experience, etc. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. They want to know how you are as a person since you have obviously passed the initial screening. Personally, I didn't prepare for any questions. I just answered what I thought and felt; so, I went with the flow. Thus, being yourself and relaxed is helpful. Hope this helps. I guess your first interviews are on April 15. So, good luck 👍

Hello,

I am wondering if there is anyone else on here from my interview group for CCT on Saturday, April 7. Has anyone heard anything back yet as to whether or not you were accepted into the program? I'm a bit nervous after reading this thread, since I did not receive a call back for any additional interviews after this first set of interviews that I had last week.

Thanks
 
Hey ya'll,

So who's in Cohort 7? I'm looking for some female roommates... 🙂
 
I submitted my application on 2/29/2012 and it was due on 3/1/2012. I just found out last week that they did not receive my transcripts from community college. I thought they only needed the transcripts from my undergrad. They should have it today 4/16. Does anyone know what my chances are at this point? Am I totally out of the game for Cohort 7? Anyone who was on the admissions committee in the past, perhaps? Any advice would be wonderful.
 
Just letting you all know...I'M IN COHORT 7!!!! Now looking for a place to rent...any ideas?
 
Hey is anyone taking private loans out for the first year of the program? What kind of interest rates did you guys get approved for?

Thanks
