If we can let's do a small meet-up on Thurs. How are guys doing in preparing? I am shaking a lot since morning.

Good luck to all of us. Hope we can be classmate soon 🙂
 
Does anyone know if UCD is still going to send out more Skype interviews? Or have they let everyone that they were interested know by now

UCSF told me during my interview that they will let us know until the end of May! I'm guessing that means they are still sending out invites
 
I am new to the forum, but I received an interview notification yesterday from UCSF! Super excited and nervous!

Hello, welcome to the forum and congrats! Would you mind letting us know when you submitted your application and when it was marked complete?

Hello, I am new to SDN and have been reading through this forum. I have an interview with UCSF as well next week and am very nervous (this is my first choice program and the only interview I have gotten...). bee999 (or anyone else who has interviewed at UCSF), do you mind sharing how your interview went and sharing any advice you may have for others? (What was the style and type of questions etc.). I hope it went well for you!

Congrats to everyone accepted so far and good luck to us all still interviewing! 🙂

Good luck on the interview! It's 2 interviewers and they are super nice! 1 of them is asking the questions and the other is taking notes. Honestly I was very nervous but they are really nice and it's comfortable. It's the basic questions you would expect during an interview. They give you time to ask questions about the program too
 
I submitted my app earlier this month (re-applicant), and still waiting the app to be "completed" although my support doc should have arrived days ago.
Is there still much chances applying at this time of the year? Worried about my app when seeing many got interview offers...
 
Good morning everyone, re-applicant here. I submitted my app 3/26 and marked complete on 4/5/17 I just received my Skype interview invite for UC this morning at 1am! Interview invite is for a Skype interview date of tomorrow
 
I also received a skype interview for UC Davis this morning! What questions do they ask? Any feedback from those who interviewed already?

Hey I also received a skype invite for UC Davis! When you replied to the email did you receive a conformation email?

No I did not, but I spoke with someone at UC Davis over skype and they said they will get in touch with us the day of the interview. Make sure you send your picture and caller ID for skype and select a slot for the interview time.

Okie dokie! Thanks!
 
Lorena called around 5:30 PM my interview was a 4PM and they did tell me they would let people know by tonight since the in person interview are this upcoming Wednesday. However I'm interviewing on the 24th of May so I'm assuming they'll have another round....im flying from the east coast so I asked if they had a different day because this upcoming Wednesday would be impossible

Wow looks like they only have one more round in-person interview left after next Wednesday. Time is flying fast.

Does that mean they're done sending out Skype interview invites?
 
Those who had the UC Davis in person interview, did you already hear back about your acceptances? Also, any tips for the in-person interview? 🙂 I have mine this wednesday! I'm so nervous and excited!

Not sure but it sounded like it, when i spoke to Lorena she said that May 24th was their third and last in person interview date and this Wednesday was for those that interviewed via Skype yesterday....anyone know how many of those that interview in person get accepted?
 
I was, so far I am on the waitlist for UCI and UCD second interview. I hope I come out of one of those list

Wow, I did not know they have an interview waitlist. I did not hear about this from previous years.

Sounds about right. The deadline is May 8th, and week after should be the last batch of Skype, then May 24 is last in-person interview.
Looks like the schedule is tight for those of use whose app is still waiting to be complete!
 
Got into UCD! So excited to find out who else will be in the cohort. Good luck to anyone interviewing 🙂
 
Thanks! I'm still waiting on UCSF since I interviewed there too. The in person for UCD is good, don't get too nervous and review your app! Just remember to be genuine about your answers and good luck!

Just got an interview invite to UCSF! So they are still giving out invites. Dates to interview were throughout all of May on the calendar they sent but I won't be going because I'm set on UCI. Best of luck to those still waiting!
Application was marked complete: 3/28
