MediMike Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Good luck everybody! Stay calm, be yourself. The interviewers know what you look like on paper, they want to get to know the real you. Don't be fake or try to feed them a line of any kind. There's no trickery or intimidation involved, they just want to meet you. No canned responses!

Liberia Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Congratulations to all - good luck on your interviews! @Liberia - I am hoping to interview for the Spokane campus and have not heard anything. @jschmitt Maybe they are working on the Seattle campus first and then spokane. :-) Positive thoughts!

ktcan10 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 @Liberia..seems like nobody except Seattle people have heard yet, so I do think that positive thoughts are warranted. :) Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMSGuy1982 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I talked to a friend who is in the program at the Tacoma campus and she didn't interview until January so we could be waiting for awhile. Congrats again to all you Seattle folks. It has to feel amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 That's interesting that the campuses are so staggered in interviews, because that's a big difference! Thanks for the congratulations, it did feel pretty amazing. I wasn't expecting it so early, so I seriously almost fell out of my chair when I read the email. Good luck to all you Tacoma and Spokane folks...I know how much the waiting game sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktcan10 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 @Penelope...Yes, I believe all of us are interviewing as a first choice Seattle master's program, although I can only speak for certain of myself. I was a bit shocked by the early date...two weeks is not a lot of prep time! :) I'm very much looking forward to meeting everyone, and that's CRAZY that we could all be going to school together in just 6 short months!

ctstone1 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I am also a first choice Seattle masters program applicant. Are there any other "out of region-ers" interviewing on this date? Good luck to everyone and I look forward to meeting you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 @ctstone1, I am an "out of region-er" (lol). I'm flying in from Southern California, although I have close family in the area. Where are you coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctstone1 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 @ktcan10, I live in southern Illinois and will be flying out of St. Louis. I was actually driving to eastern Pennsylvania for another interview when I got the invitation to interview at MEDEX. My travel schedule has gotten pretty crazy! I've never been to the PNW, but I'm excited to check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 @ctstone1, haha! Wow, you are all over the place! :) Congrats on your multiple interviews...I know what you mean. I am suddenly poor with paying for plane flights and hotel accommodations to various corners of the Western United States. :) If you have some time, Seattle is a truly amazing city (in my humble opinion) with a lot of stuff worth seeing and soaking in.

uscbigdawg Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'd be coming from Mesa, AZ. I think I'm unfortunately declining this interview though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSadley Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hello all, I too have joined the waiting room. I'm nervous and anxious. It's my first application, I'm only interested in MEDEX, and moved to Alaska in March preemptively. I have a bit of added anxiety, worrying about records from my not so formative years. I made it a point in my narrative to mention said records and hope it's not detrimental. I wish you all the best and hope to meet some of you in class next year. Until then, I'll be perusing the threads and hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 @JSadley...which campus are you applying to? Good luck on your applications! I do think that one of the benefits of MEDEX is that they seem to value the non-traditional student a little more. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediMike Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 To whomever it was asking about the interview style (and you can scoff at the "be yourself" advice but that's the honest truth), there will be several group interviews staggered throughout the day with some information sessions and meet 'n greet time in between. It was a very different process than I've ever been through, but it was great. You'd better leave tired after giving it your all. I felt empty, stressed and exhausted afterwards, but getting that phone call is an amazing feeling. Almost as good as that first cold one when you get done!

ctstone1 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 @MediMike: My approach has always been "if I'm just being myself then I don't need to spend a ton of time prepping for this". My preparation has been the years of experience and class work that have gotten me to this point. Very exciting for the experience in Seattle! Thanks for your insight. It's funny that you mention feeling exhausted from giving your all; I've been completely beat after all of my interviews so far! I'm passionate about this profession and excited for the future. Hopefully this will be a good fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
