Interviewed on February 2nd, which was a Friday.

 

with such stats I would launch a formal complaint if i didnt get in...excellent!

 

Stats are one aspect of an application. The interview is where you will need to show another set of "stats," namely your personality stats.

 

Is that you, Crystal??? You've got to call me back and fill me in on the rest of your interview!

Good idea to start a UA thread! Give me a call. Definitely let me know which schools you got into!

Good luck!!!

 

I felt my interview went exceptionally well. I have got accepted into Midwestern-Glendale and Minnesota, I already accepted Midwesterns offer because my deadline to accept was before the March 1 arrival of the UofA response and declined the offer to Minnesota (to expensive for out of state tuition for 4 years). I also interviewed at Midwestern-Chicago, cancelled interviews at Iowa and Colorado. I do not know what I will do If I get into UofA, if midwetern was not a 3 year program the decision would be so much easier...I would go UofA all the way, but we will see what happens when we get there responses the end of this week, good luck to everyone!

To rxcrystal...the student that was my "guide" during my interview was a first year student that had a 3.5 GPA and scored a 50 on his PCAT, so should not be held back by your score, good luck.
