Hello,

Does anybody know if it is worth interviewing at Uconn at this point? Is their class almost full?

😕 thanks!!

yeaa......don't go......cough, cough

ummm...why wouldn't you go? do you already have any other acceptances, lots of decisions to wait for?

i was just joking not to go b/c i got put on hold by them

I would hope the class isn't full. I got the email in August to interview in January so I'm assuming they wouldn't have told me to interview so late if they didn't think there would be spots available (at least I would hope not!)

By the way, doctresse, when are you interviewing and have you been able to reach the office?! Oh my gosh it is so hard to get ahold of them! I've emailed and called, and emailed the Dean, and emailed the interview coordinator lady person, and I still don't know when my interview is in January...I hope they're not like that with their students!

I was just curious since the general consensus here is that interviews after February only lead to waitlists. I wanted to know if anybody has an idea how full their class is. But you are right, I should go since I am still waiting for decisions from other schools now. did you like the school and your interview day?

thanks!

ps: hold is better than rejected 🙂

My situation is a little different because I ended up not sending my secondary but they put me on their interview list pending completion of my file. So I sent my secondary but haven't heard back yet. From a previous post it seems that it's very hard to get a hold of anybody there, so you're not alone in that situation. Also this is what the dean's email read:
" Once we have received and reviewed the required materials, a member of our admissions staff will be in touch with you to set up your interview date provided the required materials are viewed favorably. This contact is normally made two to four weeks prior to available interview dates. Please refrain from making inquiries about the specific interview date until you hear directly from our scheduling coordinator. We appreciate your interest in the U of Connecticut School of Medicine. We look forward to hearing more about your motivations, interests, and preparations to date"
I guess it's one of those school that likes to make all the moves 😕

i love the school and the interview day went well....interviews aren't stressful, but they have asked me healthcare questions at my first interview for last years class....they switched to 2 interviewers this year

i would go, i think you will be pleasently surprised by uconn......it is a building on a hill, but a nice building on a hill.....and i don't see why that matters since you're inside the building most of the time anyway 🙂 and they have very good programs for the students....and the students there are great

good luck! same to you coco....keep calling Lisa Francini, you should get through at some point, and Dr. Sanford is pretty good about replying to emails, so idk why he hasn't by now

It's good to hear that they do call students! 🙂

Yeah I left Lisa a message, and when she didn't get back to me, I emailed Dr. Sanford, who replied within 2 days. He forwarded the email to Lisa telling her to help me out, but she didn't reply. So I ended up emailing her myself and she still didn't get to me. I'm just worried about finding decent cheap flights from cali. And I do want to go while I'm on break from school. In the initial email, Dr. Sanford had said that Lisa would be in touch with me in December. Oh well, I'll just wait and see. I've bugged them enough they probably don't want to interview me anymore! lol

Good luck doctresse and CPJones I hope you get off the waitlist! GOOD LUCK!!

....you still have a few days left in December 🙄

i think if it gets to be let's say a week into january, then i would email Dr. S again and say that you never got a response.....b/c i think that's kinda ridiculous to leave you hanging like this

and i'm not waitlisted just yet this time....on hold, they will re-review me when they finish w/ all the interviews......SO HURRY UP!!!!!!

Haha thanks CPJones! I'll try my best to hurry things up!! 😀

Who should I contact at Uconn to find out about my application status?

I just wanted to know if it's even complete because it's been at least a month and I haven't heard back. I called the office but the lady told me she can't individually check the status... 🙁
