lowryjb Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hey guys! I decided to start a new post rather than fishing through all the various interviews for MEDEX, it was making me very anxious! I received an invite to interview on November 19th! Looking forward to spending the day with you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshie1 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Good idea! I'm also looking forward to meeting everyone. I'm flying in late night on the 17th, from California, and plan to spend Friday trying to get an idea of what Spokane is all about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingsquirrel Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Unfortunatly I won't be getting into town until late evening on 11/18 as I have another interview scheduled for Friday, but I'm looking forward to meeting all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowryjb Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Have you heard how many people get invited to interview in Spokane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebecker Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 They will usually interview about 120 applicants on the top end, sometimes only 100. It depends year to year. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine527 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'm coming in from Italy the 17th. Swooshie1...Spokane is a wonderful place. I spent 3 years there while in the military. See you soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Catherine527! I've heard great things from everyone I've spoken to about Spokane; can't wait to get there, spend some time exploring on Friday and meet everyone on Saturday. I'm on a mission today to find appropriate "business casual attire" - 200 miles (one way!) to the nearest mall with a store other than Kmart!

lowryjb Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Does everyone know where they are staying? I chose one of the hotels that seems to be across the street from the interview site, to lessen the morning comute worries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Anyone want to get together friday evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshie1 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I did the same thing lowryjb ! I figure a walking commute should be relatively stress-free! I'd also be interested in meeting some of you Friday for an early dinner maybe? I think it would be nice to see familiar faces at check-in.

tcd1976 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi folks, I am a first-year student in Spokane. I'll see you on the 19th - good luck! Remember to RELAX because it is your day to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowryjb Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 I would love to meet up with people the evening before, but I'm not sure when I will be in town. If some place/time gets posted, I might be able to show up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 lowryjb and swooshie and anyone else, I'll be staying at the travelodge, which is nearby campus as well. If I recall correctly from last time there are some restaurants just west. Feel free to email me so we can set something up. Look forward to meeting some fellow interviewees. -Kevin norditalia3@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoPA Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 lowryjb and swooshie and anyone else, I'll be staying at the travelodge, which is nearby campus as well. If I recall correctly from last time there are some restaurants just west. Feel free to email me so we can set something up. Look forward to meeting some fellow interviewees. -Kevin norditalia3@gmail.com Hi, guys! Just thought I'd chime in. The campus is right off I-90 (you can see it while driving by; in fact, I'd driven by it numerous times before learning what it was.) If you turn left off the exit (rather than turning right to the school), there are many restaurants nearby, both fast food and sit-down. The last time I was in Spokane was to pick up my mom from the airport. We zipped up the freeway, checked out the WSU campus for her, then popped over to Chili's which is, happily enough, down the road from Medex. We swung by so I could check it out before getting back on the freeway and heading back to Idaho. There are a lot of non-chain choices, too. There are also several budget hotels nearby. The area as a whole seems a bit industrial and non-fancy, but we've never had any problems, nor have we felt less than safe. Good luck!! I hope the interviews go well for you all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kolacka Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hey guys! I will be in town as well for the interview on saturday. I'd like to meet up as well! My plane gets in around 530 (I think?!

tcd1976 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 This sounds great! I'll PM some of you my cell number ! Looking forward to it ! There is also an Onion downtown very near the hotels where many will be staying and probably even within walking distance. It is at 302 W. Riverside, just across the river from the Riverpoint campus. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larimd84 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I am interviewing Saturday as well and up for dinner tomorrow night at The Onion. I am staying at the Fairfield right by the WSU campus, so the one on Riverside sounds great. Any time is good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds great to me as well, I'm staying at the "Red Lion at the Park" which is walking distance to the campus also; so this would be my option too if possible!
