medtech10 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I spoke with Mariah the other day, and she said more interviews and updates will be handed out within the next two week's. Thank you for the information. I hope I am able to make the cut for interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharesmiles Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 G'morning, may I ask how do applicants receive calls? I've been receiving several missed calls w/unknown Caller ID but no voice message, I'm not sure if my cheap lycamobile service has problem with voicemail or not. Thanks.

fakingpatience Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 I received an email offering me the interview, no phone call at that stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlumsden Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Congratulations to those getting the calls. For those who are waiting for information, hang in there! My fingers sat on my phone in my pocket for a while, waiting for it to vibrate. I'd go about my day, distracted and hyper-vigilant. In hindsight, I could have been a little more constructive with my time. I was in the shower when I got the voicemail from MEDEX. Channel that energy -- stay busy -- clean out the garage, go on long bike rides and do your Christmas shopping early. MedFireFight -- Good plan to set up the Facebook Group for Class 49. I set one up last year for Class 48. It was hard to find people at first, but as time passed, it became a great way to deal with all those questions we had. We unofficially used it to take turns asking the hard questions to MEDEX; we wanted to minimize the chance of one person looking too eager or desperate.

MedFireFight Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Great idea! What were some of those hard questions? Definitely eager to learn from the experience of upper class men!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakingpatience Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Does anyone have recommendation of where to stay in Spokane for the interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmitch300wby Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Does anyone have recommendation of where to stay in Spokane for the interview? There's a Holiday Inn Express and a Red Lion Inn not far from the Riverpoint campus. They're both within walking distance. I'm a Spokane resident and if anyone needs any questions answered, please feel free to ask. Congrats again to those excepted and those offered interviews.

jlumsden Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 MedFireFight -- A lot of the hard questions pertained to scheduling. MEDEX usually isn't able to set dates until later in the year, and some people want to plan travel or family events. Other students wondered about buying medical equipment and textbooks.

mlewd Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Just received an interview invite for 10/28. I would love to join those who are planning to meet up the day before.

Nucs2PA Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 A few of us have chatted via PM and are meeting at Watertown on Monday evening Oct 27, the night before the interviews. But, I am not from Seattle, so if anyone knows of any restaurants or coffee shops close by, I'm up for anything! And I think, the more, the merrier!

But, I am not from Seattle, so if anyone knows of any restaurants or coffee shops close by, I'm up for anything! And I think, the more, the merrier! I applied to the BCHS campuses, so I shan't be joining you. But I know the area well, having attended UW for my undergraduate work. And I still live nearby. If you're staying at the Watertown, you'll find most of the restaurants/cafes on University Way NE, which most people call "The Ave." Plenty of good options between NE 42nd - NE 50th Streets. Many places are on the smaller side, so I'm hesitant giving a full recommendation without knowing the full size of the party. There's always Starbucks (not a fan, but it gets the job done)!

There's a Barnes & Nobles with 24 hrs Starbucks on 25th Ave nearby at U-District just down the hill from 45th St. That's the best place I could think of for a meeting and chatting.

That BN is permanently closed, but there are multiple Starbucks within the shopping center, UVillage. That said, the 45th Street viaduct is very (very) steep for those traveling by foot. It's quite the trek. A Starbucks on The Ave might serve your purposes better, depending on where people are staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpy_sharpie Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Cafe on the ave might be big enough. It's right across from Starbucks on 42nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharesmiles Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Oops. That Barnes&Nobles closed. I meant to recommend that Starbucks coffee shop in same building & locates west of the old B&N. It was one of my favorite Starbucks locations in Seattle Metro, it opens 5am - 1am as I remembered. The "Ave" has great places but parking is a little difficult compared to U-District. Congratulations on all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car.jenna Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Anyone know what the deal is with our secondary location choices? If I apply primarily for Seattle, is my interview for that site only or for my secondary site too? And then are we technically considered for the secondary location if they fill up the first location with other applicants? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
