JKirschten Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Does anyone know about the group interview process, how it is structured or works? Any information would be helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabbitFan11 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 My understanding is that 3 or 4 applicants interview with two separate panels of 4 or 5 admissions committee members for 30 or 40 minutes each. Don't take this as gospel, especially the numbers, but I do believe it is something along that line. Also, I believe I remember that the questions asked in the interview rotate between the applicants, so the same person won't have to answer first or last every time. If you have more questions I would just email the school and ask for specifics. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBND Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Anyone know when USD starts the interviews? One of my top choices but I have not heard anything back yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jferguson Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 A couple years ago I was granted an interview. They notified in December and did all interviews in mid-late January I believe making decisions by end of February. This year the email says they will notify in December again. I actually work for this university at the medical school so let me know if you have any other questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srh57 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 THANKS EVERYONE :) Are you guys from South Dakota? Iam from NJ and visiting SD for interview :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jferguson Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yes, I'm from SD. Have you ever been to SD? If not, it may come as a slight shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srh57 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 No, this will be my first visit to SD, I am nervous as well as excited to see the diff b/w East coast and the Midwest. Also, I am nervous because I have not had a group interview before so I dont know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jferguson Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 srh57, South Dakota, like any state has a unique culture. Vermillion itself is a pretty small town, ~10,000 people so that is something to adjust to depending on where you are from. We consider towns with 150,000 people "big cities". Anyway, I don't know when the out of state interviews are, but my interview in the 29th of Jan. Good luck to you and enjoy your stay here! If you haven't already made hotel reservations, I would recommend the Holiday Inn Express. It is the newest one in town and pretty much a straight shot to the med school right down Dakota Ave. If you want food suggestions, I can certainly give those out later too! Once again, best of luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srh57 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 thanks for your help. My interview will be on Jan 22 at 8am. I have decided to stay at Super8 hotels just cause its cheap and initially I wanted to arrive two days prior to interview to see the town.But now i will be there just one day prior. I just wanna know if there is any subway around or any other salad place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabbitFan11 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 HAHAHA! A SUBWAY IN VERMILLION! That just made my day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jferguson Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yes, there is a Subway a few blocks down the same street you are staying. It's within walking distance if you don't mind the cold. Otherwise, if you want a sandwich, go to Mister Smiths located in Jones Foods on Cottage St. It is the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
