It states in the email that the interview will take 5 hours (including Q&A and presentations), and I wonder if this is a normal length for other schools?

I got the email saying that my app is still w the admissions committee on sep 29, and the mysterious thing was that I found the email in my promotional when I was emptying all the trash inside.

It's just a template on SDN that you copy and fill out with your stats.
 
Do you guys think attending the Virtual Program Preview will affect our chances for an interview?

I don't think so since my friend who didn't apply to WersternU also got the email.

Anyone able to get ahold of the admissions department? I received email saying my application was incomplete and that they are still waiting on a reference, but all my references have been received via ADEA AADSAS portal since July?
Did you ever resolve this issue? I just received the same email even though I have all my letters uploaded to AADSAS.

I had a similar issue, they just wanted a signature on one of the letters of rec.
 
Did anyone receive the email from westernu about the “interview do’s and dont’s” is this an indication that we will be receiving an interview invite?

Just FYI, according to today's Western U Zoom webinar, all pre-December interview invites have been sent out. There will only be 3 more interview sessions that will be held in Jan and Feb.

Haven’t heard from them since I submitted in July. Does anyone know if they interview in late November/December? Or only after the new year?

Hi all! Just wondering how everyone’s interview went. They only asked a couple of questions for mine that were very conversational so Im a bit worried.

Thank you! No, my portal still says none
Have they told you when they will send out an official decision email? I am quiet worried because I'm international and what if they couldn't reach me by phone call :(
