Mona_ Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Does anyone know when they plan to stop giving out invites? There's a couple prereqs I'm currently scheduled to take in the spring and I'm considering not going through with them if I know I for sure I won't be considered for an interview. Thanks!

bobaholic1 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Can anyone who already interviewed this year let us know what the interview style was? I have my interview tomorrow (10/27) and when I first signed up for the interview dates, I read on the google forum that it was going to be "Interview (you plus interview panel of two to three members) ". I even copied and pasted this information down because I knew that it has always been MMI. But I checked the google forum again recently and it changed to MMI. I just want to make sure what the format is because this is super confusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleteMyAccount Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 4 rooms, 1 question per room, 6 minutes to answer per question. 2 people will be in each room interviewing you. Just be honest and precise with your answer. Don't drag it out, don't be afraid that it was over too quickly. Some questions only took 20 seconds to answer, where other questions took the whole time. If they probe you, don't get thrown off, just be ready to respond. Smile, and be polite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuturePA31 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 For those that have been invited to interview, did you receive an "Application Ready to Review" e-mail? I wasn't aware that this was part of Western U's process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowgirlpa Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Yes,they sent that one and then later another email saying the committee then had it. About 3 weeks later I got the invitation to interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaceypost Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 For those that have been invited to interview, did you receive an "Application Ready to Review" e-mail? I wasn't aware that this was part of Western U's process. I wasn't either. I received an email that my coursework page and secondary application were received. So there is an additional email?

cowgirlpa Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Yes, they tell you when it goes for committee review, then they let you know in another email if you are invited for the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuturePA31 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 @cowgirlpa: Thanks a lot for the info! That's extremely helpful! It is really nice that Western U keeps us on the loop. From what I've gathered and I'm not sure if it's still the same, they base their first interviews off of GPAs. So, applicants with higher GPAs will get first dibs and if they still have more room, they then look at peeps with lower GPAs. I think the cut off last year was around 3.3-3.4. If you're on the other end of the spectrum, hang tight (like myself) and we'll eventually hear from Western U one way or another. Happy Halloween everyone! Be safe! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns62761 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hi guys, When you first submitted your supplemental did your application status say incomplete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePA31 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 @ns62761: Yes, when I first submitted my supplemental it was marked as "Incomplete. Items Outstanding" under Application Status. Then, a week or so later it changed to "Application Materials Received". It hasn't changed since then and I'm assuming my application is complete. I'm guessing it's just waiting to be reviewed by admissions committee now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
