kmelore Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Anyone else verified in August and still have not received a supplemental application? I received a confirmation email of my application on Aug 11 from USciences but still haven't received the supplemental. Are these sent out on a rolling basis as well?

Kim235 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Do you need to bring a resume or anything with you? This might be a dumb question but do they let you have water with you when you interview? I went on one and they said not to have anything with us and my mouth was so dry lol.

DelawarePA Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 They never asked me for a resume, or anything like that. I'm sure you can bring water but they supply it and snacks as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyPig Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 For those that get accepted please stop on over and introduce yourself at the USciences class of 2019 accepted students forum! There is also a facebook group for accepted students that you can join here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a confirmation email of my application on Aug 11 from USciences but still haven't received the supplemental. Are these sent out on a rolling basis as well? I also have not received anything in regards to a supplemental. I did receive an email yesterday though: We would like to update all our applicants with regards to our deadline. We recently made the announcement that the university will accept and screen all applications that are submitted by November 1 and verified by November 14. This is to accommodate the longer verification wait time this cycle. Please keep in mind, our November 1 deadline does not apply to the supplemental application. All applications must go through an initial screening to determine eligibility for the supplemental application, and it can take 4-6 weeks from application to receive a notification. The supplemental application, if received, is due within two weeks of the date it is emailed to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're still in the clear. Unfortunately to those who applied before mid-july, it sounds like they've already either sent you a supplemental or you won't be getting one. "Your application has not been screened yet. Applications are screened by program faculty in the order they were received so they are indeed reviewed on a rolling basis. Supplemental applications are not sent out to all individuals, even if they meet the minimum posted requirements. Evaluation is made of the application as a whole, including the letters of reference and personal statement. While I cannot give you an exact date as to when you would be screened, we are currently screening mid-July, so you shouldn’t be too far behind."

beachgirl123 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Hey guys! I'm so excited to interview at USciences soon! For current students, how do you like the 34 month long program? Do you think it has prepared you better in the long term and made you feel more confident? And for those who have already interviewed, do you have any other suggestions for the interview? I've already read this thread but any other tips will help as this is my top choice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyPig Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Do they provide you lunch? At the interview earlier in October therr were "light snacks" but no lunch. The interview goes right through lunch so I was pretty hungry by the end. So eat a big breakfast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac208 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I have an interview this Thursday at 11. I'm kind of worried about the parking situation. For those who drove, where did you park and how early did you go? Did any of you have trouble finding a space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelawarePA Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (looking at the entrance of the building) There is a lot almost immediately to the left. I think I arrived about 30 or 40 minutes early but I was able to find a spot and I think most others were too. There's another lot near by too. Just make sure you don't park in the small lot right across from the building. I guess you can get ticketed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim235 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 How soon did those that were accepted hear back from? I was really impressed with the program! Really nice classrooms/exam rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyPig Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 How soon did those that were accepted hear back from? I was really impressed with the program! Really nice classrooms/exam rooms. They seem to offer a seat to a few people within a week and then I guess they wait the month they said they would take to decide on the rest. The first interview was exactly a month ago and I haven't heard if they have contacted everyone from that interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilemma84 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 are they going to continue to interview or anyone know if the interviews are over? is the class already filled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim235 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 When I interviewed yesterday, the admissions coordinator said that this was their 4th interview group and that seats were still available, so I'm assuming they are still interviewing.

PAphil Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Did anyone get a waitlist or rejection letter? I interviewed on the 15th and still haven't heard anything yet. I know some others who interviewed on the 15th that have already been accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some others who interviewed on the 15th that have already been accepted. Hi PAphil, I was told during the interview that anyone who gets to the interview point will not be rejected, only waitlisted or accepted. I was also told that it would take a month to get back to people, so if you interviewed on 15th you definitely still have time. Obviously a few people have already been offered seats. I am guessing they offer seats to a few people right away who score high enough and then will make up their minds about the rest at the one month point after a couple of interviews (that is just my guess). Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very relaxed and friendly! Look at some earlier posts on this forum and the previous year's forum for some more thoughts about it though. Good luck!
