Hey all, I didn't see a thread for this class, so I decided to have a place where we could share updates. Has anyone received their interview emails yet?

I haven't received one yet either. I got my applications in and finalized around the end of June. Guess its still a waiting game.

Same here. The waiting is torture. I figured they would have started interviewing by now.

I received an email for an interview on the 23rd of August! That August to December wait for notification is gonna be something else.

Congrats! How long after your application complete email did you receive an interview invite?

I believe I finished the primary application, and UMMC received it around the 3rd week of June. I finished the secondary application no later than the first week of July if not earlier.

 

[kkay13]

I received my interview invitation for September 6th! This is my second time getting an interview (third time applying). Any other reapplicants?

Did you ever receive an application complete email? I submitted the primary at the beginning of July, submitted the secondary almost a week after, and got the application complete email on the 21st of August. I haven’t heard of anything since and now I’m afraid I might not get an interview here. I guess I need to be more patient. This whole application cycle is stressing me out. Haha

I received my application complete email on July 3rd. Keep in mind it is still pretty early. The August 23rd interview was the first round for the 2023 class. UMMC still has many weeks of interviews left, so don't worry about being late.

Thank you! I hope you’re interview went well!!

I think it went really well considering it was my first academic interview! I was super nervous at first, but the interviewers were aware of the pressure and intimidation aspect of the interview. They were very comfortable to talk with, which allowed me to relax after the first round of the MMI. So my advice is to understand that this is a blind interview, and they are not asking anything about your academic history, just trying to get to know who you are (which is easier when you relax). Don't worry they are not trying to grill you so not need to be completely stressed out.

Thanks for the advice. I interviewed with them last year, and I felt the same exact way. I think I Still will be super nervous and it will take the first interview to calm my nerves. Haha but I’m glad to hear yours went well! Good luck! December 1st is so far away!
