EMSGuy1982 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Seattle typically does their first round of interviews end of September. Tacoma has been in December for the last three years that I know.. Unsure of when Spokane has had theirs in the past but I would imagine Oct-Nov or December as well. Typically each site has their first round of interviews then there is usually one last interview that is held in Seattle that consists of interviews for all sites.. Just thought I would put this out as I definitely know what your going through! Done and recently graduated but I still remember the interview like it was yesterday.. Good luck to you all! Keep yourselves busy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamingBig Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I am excited to share that I too received an interview invitation today for September 29th (Seattle site). I have been lurking on this forum for a long time, and have learnt a ton from it. It feels great to post and be a more active part of the community now. My CASPA was verified on 5/19 Submitted my supplemental on 5/27 Received the email from MEDEX stating that I have met the application criteria on 6/20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britt9583 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Does anyone know if it goes by when your application to Caspa was submitted or if there's a certain order? Sorry for all the questions I'm just getting a little sick over it would rather just know if I'm not getting in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britt9583 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 No I mean are the interview invites sent out in a random order or by application complete date or is there an order at all? I applied to Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 @Britt9583: It ain't over 'til its over. As far as I know, there's not a particular order for review. They do review them as they come in, but from that point, you might get an interview right away or at a later date and it doesn't mean anything. I know people who interviewed in September and who interviewed in December in my class. I know people who received an acceptance call exactly 7 days later and those from the same interview group who waited an agonizing two weeks or even several months. Don't count yourself out.

EMSGuy1982 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The process is this: You complete Caspa and get verified MEDEX then gets your Caspa and pre screens you to make sure you meet requirements. They send you an email saying you've satisfied them. You then wait. It is somewhat on a first come, first serve basis in the order that they look at your application. Especially if you got yours in before the September 1st early deadline. They read hundreds of applications and personal statements. If they want to interview you then you will get invited. Don't count yourself out. Seattle does a couple rounds of interviews. I graduated from the Tacoma site and there was two interview dates. The first round in December then second in January. If you don't get an invite for the first round. It is definitely possible that you could get an invite to the second. I hope this helps clear it up a little. I know it's a horrible wait. Been there. If I can help in any other way, please let me know. There are other graduates and current students that are frequently on here to help as well. Good luck!

fluidworks Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Super stoked to interview at my #1 school choice. See you guys on the 29th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpblack16 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 No, they will send out invites right up until a couple days before the interview. Quick question, how do you know they will send out interview invites up until a few days before the interview?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLM28 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 I heard last year about a few people getting very last minute invitations. However, they were for the second interview session for that site (Spokane's second round is in January historically)...not sure if that had something to do with it.

I applied for seattle and am anxiously waiting...hoping it's not too late for an interview invite for Sept 29th. The forum seems pretty quiet so I'm hoping a lot are still waiting...

JLM28 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yes, it does seem a bit quiet! I was hoping for more action because I've applied for the Spokane site and I know we start receiving invites after they are done with the Seattle ones. The waiting is difficult :) Stay hopeful!

lpblack16 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Just curious how long before the interview did previous applicants receive an interview invite?! Thanks in advance, this waiting game is brutal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkearney Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 There are a lot of moving pieces. Some people are invited 4+ weeks in advance. Others only get a few days. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corpsman89 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 So I was hoping some of the current students would be able to help out with my question here. A while back I remember reading something about Spokane students having to be in Seattle for the first 6 weeks or so of their didactic year for anatomy? I am just trying to confirm if this is true or not. If so, does MEDEX give Spokane students a place to reside while they are in Seattle? Thanks, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLM28 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 I think that all of the sites meet in Seattle for the 6 week summer portion. Not sure about housing. Did you get an invite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
