awregg Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'm flying in from Montana! As I have an interview close by earlier in the week, I am probably going to be in the area a while. Haven't figured out where I am staying yet, but wouldn't mind meeting up before the social if people are in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disciple3 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I got a cheap rental car bundle with the flight for 30 more. Not a taxi fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc21 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I still trying to book everything. I am trying to figure out how close the airport is to the school and if a hotel is nearby to see if I need to rent a car. I have never been to the east coast, so I am really unfamiliar with everything @cassnuchan11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple3 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Its only a few miles, so cab would be comparable. It's just you have to get one to hotel, then interview then to airport again the 30$ car rental seemed easiest for me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc21 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 That's probably the way to go. I will look into that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB11 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 @ paigeielati-- I was going to offer to pick you up before the social, but I didn't consider you airport transportation, etc. So it sounds like the rental is your best bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

112358 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The interview was relaxed. There's a presentation on the program first thing (after coffee and bagels and fruit!), then you're broken into groups and do the next three activities in whatever order your group is assigned. Campus tour, writing prompt, interview. The faculty members are SO NICE. Don't stress out. I was told that my interviewer was probably the most strict, but I found my interviewer to be very friendly and warm. There's a decent amount of downtime to talk with the current students and applicants--I found everyone to be extremely welcoming. I just finished my final interview and decided on UNE! Sent in my deposit this morning! Good luck, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastPA Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I also interviewed in September and will be accepting my invite to the program, just paid my deposit! The previous post about the interview was pretty accurate. Everyone was very friendly. The interview group had about 40 or 50 interviewees, so it didn't feel as personalized as some other interviews. There was a tour, two basic essay questions, and one single 25 minute interview. Each of these activities had downtime between them to mingle. My interview was with one faculty member and one alumni, it was recorded and they asked, I believe 5, set questions. The questions were more ethical/situational style questions. I finished my interview questions super early, probably 10+ minutes before the time limit. I basically just talked a lot and asked questions after that to fill up the remaining time. I was a little concerned about this upon leaving, but it all worked out. This program is primary care focused and they are also into caring for rural and underserved communities. This would be a good thing to talk about in the essays/interview. The current students gave the impression that they helped each other out quite a bit and the program was largely noncompetitive. This might be a good thing to talk about also. Good luck guys! It was a relaxed environment, so don't stress out. Also, definitely go to the social the night before. It gave a much better insight into the program than the interview itself did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastPA Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I submitted my app early - in June I believe. I am also from out of state. It seemed like majority of applicants were from outside the New England area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
