Hello! I was just offered an interview from SGU today. Does anyone have any tips/advice/info on what to expect?

The interview is conducted by an alumni so it’s not terrible. Be yourself and be as honest as you want to be. My interviewer graduate like 2 years ago, he made me laugh, I made him laugh. It was a good time

I think it depends. Last year mine lasted an hour. This year it was an hour and a half

No. But I did receive a confirmation email that my interview summary was received and determinations take approximately 12 weeks. Although, a decision can be reached sooner.

When was your interview?
Congrats!!! When do you have to make a decision by? Is there a fee to hold your spot?

Thank you! Hopefully you hear good news as well!
For fall cohort you have to make a decision by April 15. That date is the National deadline for admitted students to accept or decline offers of admission and a school can not force you to decide before then unless it is for an earlier cohort such as summer or spring.
The deposit to hold your spot is $400 and that just has to be paid by April 15th.
I just submitted it through VMCAS! Does anyone know the usual time to hear if you received an interview?
I submitted my application on Tuesday and heard that I received an interview yesterday. Today I received the contact information of my interviewer. Good luck!

As told to me by the school you can hear about an interview as early as 1-2 days after submitting on VMCAS but may take longer depending on how close to the deadline you submit (also I think it depends on if your VMCAS has been verified or not). After you complete your interview they say that final decisions can take up to 12 weeks but could be sooner. Someone on here got an acceptance 10 days after their interview.
Personally I submitted my VMCAS application on 9/4 and received an invite the next day. My interview was scheduled for 9/10 and I receive an email from SGU the same day saying I’ll hear back within 12 weeks. Haven’t heard anything yet but it’s only been like 2 days lol

My SGU interview literally lasted a full 2 hours, is this normal???
mine lasted like 1.5ish hours totally normal!
Did yalls interview invites come after your vmcas was verified and fully done? submitted last week but one of letters hadn’t come in yet and hoping that’s why i haven’t heard anything yet

I received my interview before my application was verified (verified 8/29, received interview invite on 08/27) but this is probably the busiest time right now since the deadline is coming up so I would give it a little longer but you can always reach out too

Mine was already verified when I received my invite but it’s because I submitted my application beginning of July and they don’t send invites until August.

Congratulations, that is so exciting! Just out of curiosity, did you receive an email and approximately what time of day (I'm in PST time zone)? I interviewed on 9/13 and am waiting to hear.
