SAF Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thanks lassibk! I thought I read that somewhere on the forum but I couldn't find it anymore and it had some information about a study guide. Do you know anything about the study guide for the test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAF Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Vlsmith, I submitted it like a week ago. I'm hoping it's not too late and I have a chance at an interview so I'm trying to start preparing now if I'm lucky enough to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolynanne Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I submitted pretty late, around Sept. 2? I rescheduled my interview for Jan. 31 because of conflicts so I won't be able to tell you guys how it is, but good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read that somewhere on the forum but I couldn't find it anymore and it had some information about a study guide. Do you know anything about the study guide for the test? I did not study for the interview Medterm test. They don't really have much time to look at them before their decision anyway, they use it to gauge how much you need to study before the medterm test that you take when you get in. At orientation for school you are required to take and pass a medterm test before starting the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnm823 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 do you guys know how strict they are about gpa requirements? mine is pretty low, but i have a master's degree, great LORs, and direct patient care hours/shadowing/volunteering. basically my whole app is great except for the gpa(which i know is a big deal :( ) paying for my mistakes in undergrad to this day :/ i submitted my app today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlsmith Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 mnm823, I am in the same situation. My undergrad gap sucks, but my master's is much better and science GPA is good since i am retaking pre-reqs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lassibk Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 They will look at your grad school GPA more now. Of course they take your undergrad into consideration, but it will show that you have improved over the years and grown. And hopefully you did well on the GRE! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you and your classmates all have a 3.4+ GPA? There are people in the 2013 and 2014 class with much less than 3.4 GPA. They look at the whole package.

There are people in the 2013 and 2014 class with much less than 3.4 GPA. They look at the whole package. I agree with Oneal. There are plenty of people in the 2014 class that did not have an undergrad 3.4+ GPA. Also, I am sure there are people in the 2015 class that did not have a 3.4 in undergrad.

Vlsmith Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 That makes me feel good. My undergrad wasn't a 3.4 but my masters was. it is reassuring to hear these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micky053 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hey everyone! I am a first year student here at South! The first interview session is this upcoming Friday. There is a medical terminology quiz that you will have to take but do not stress about it they do not base there acceptance offers on it and no matter whether you pass or fail everyone has to retake it the first week of school anyways. So really don't stress about it. The format of the interview is: Sit through a few speeches by faculty, get separated into group in which will consist of 4 students and 3 faculty members, lunch, med term quiz, and then individual interviews. The individual interviews they may just tell you that you are accepted or ask you a few more questions. If you are accept they will notify you during the individual interview and give you a packet with a lot of information. I will be there this Friday to mingle with you all and aster any questions you have. Best of luck and I look forward to meeting some of you!

micky053 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Oh also, I submitted my application late October (maybe even first week of November, I don't remember) and I was offered an interview in February for the March date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlsmith Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks Micky053. Amber, I too am hoping for an interview. I find myself checking the email all of the time. I wonder when the next interviews will be. I wonder how many applicants have submitted their applications. I don't think I have been this anxious in my life.

I applied to South but have not heard about an interview yet. I really hope to get one. I recently had a very good interview with one school and have another interview with school #2 in December. Obviously if accepted by one of the other schools.....I will accept them as they are both very good programs. I just wish South would hold the majority of their interviews sooner. And their is no guarantee that they will offer me an interview anyway. It just seems that by holding interviews later than the others that they lose out as so many may have already accepted positions elsewhere. Have you found this to be the case?
