I have a bit of a dilemma. So UDM was one of the first schools that offered an interview to me. I accepted, but now I have 5 other interviews to attend, and UDM isn't one of my top choices. Should I just cancel my interview?

Hi everyone. I am a re-applicant this cycle and I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to improve my application. If anyone was a re-applicant and got accepted then their advice would really mean a lot. Thanks.

Name please so that I can add u to the groupme?Hi everyone,
I interviewed at UDM on 9/22 and I saw that my AADSAS status changed from “invited for interview” to “none”. I’m hoping it just means that they’re reviewing my app for a decision, but does anyone know what that means exactly?

Hey, if possible, can you tell me the format of the interview at UDM? Like is it traditional/conversational type of interview or is it a bunch of critical thinking/ethical dilemmas? ThanksHi everyone,

I was fairly local, so I was able to drive to and from the interview the same day. But you are basically out of there around 4:50, and the drive to DTW is about 20 minutes.I hope your interview went very well. I have an afternoon interview as well, do you remember when your interview got finished? do you think I can catch my flight @5:55pm on the same day? Thanks so much!
The face to face one. That's what my interviewers said.Which one weighs more the Kira interview questions or the real interview face to face?
How many percent is the kira questions count towards my interview score?The face to face one. That's what my interviewers said.

Where did u hear it from? The interviewers?Kira questions are just supplemental questions they don't count for much from what I've heard.

But if u did poor in interview you will be either accepted or waitlisted? My interview performance was pretty stellar.I just try not to think about the interview once it is over. You can't go back and fix anything anymore. Stressing about it won't change the outcome.
Dr. Jeffers did say that basically everybody is either accepted or wait listed (you probably have to perform extremely poorly, or do something very unprofessional to be rejected after an interview). The number of applicants they interview per seat is quite high, but that is a decision made based on their expected yield. Based on what they said, this doesn't seem to mean that just hand out interviews like candy.
That being said, it might be the case that if you got an early interview, it may be more of the school is wanting to convince you why you should choose them. If you get a later interview, it may be more of the school is wanting you to convince them why they should choose you.
Basically by how Dr. Jeffers said it, it seemed that being rejected after interview is something that would require an extenuating circumstance for it to happen (such as if you were being rude to people). However, if you perform poorly as a whole, you could end up near the bottom of the wait list (which is ranked).But if u did poor in interview you will be either accepted or waitlisted?

Even if you call, pretty sure they're not going to tell you, or they will give you the default answer of "we consider your file holistically". And if they see it as you being annoying then that can affect your admissions decision.Nobody knows bro, seriously stop stressing until December 3rd
If you’re that curious, call them
geez!!! you need to chilly'all. the group chat was for those interviewing on sept 22......no leaches allowed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
geez!!! you need to chill
I think they just want your GPA for the remaining terms to meet acceptable standards. People who aim "just to pass" may end up failing classes, and that will especially get them in trouble if it happens for a prerequisite course pending completion.At the end of the interview day, Dr.Jeffers mentioned "we expect you to maintain your GPA or exceed it for the rest of the school year", how serious do you think they are about that lol, I'm having a serious case of senioritis right now with midterms coming up

Basically I think it's okay to relax a bit, especially if you get in somewhere on Dec 3. But just make sure you are not aiming for C's. Aim for A's, but get a few B's and it's not a huge deal. I'm sure schools only tell you that they want to see you keep up your GPA because they some people really slack off too hard upon acceptance. Chances are if you aim for a certain grade, you will not fall below 1 step of what you aimed for.Alright, hopefully thats the case, thankfully I'm not taking any prereq courses and I'm pretty sure I will be able to pass lol
Not entirely sure but I can attest that those exact words are on the acceptance package when you do get accepted. I'm assuming some leeway is good just don't fall an entire lettergrade.At the end of the interview day, Dr.Jeffers mentioned "we expect you to maintain your GPA or exceed it for the rest of the school year", how serious do you think they are about that lol, I'm having a serious case of senioritis right now with midterms coming up
