kenab1 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 For me it was about an 8 day wait in between the application complete email and the qualify for an interview email. Don't stress too much waiting! I'm sure you'll get an interview! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
student 123456 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 That's the worst part haha. Luckily, we interview early here at UC and start in January...so it's not as horrible as many other places :) Do you remember how long after the interview they notify people?

wxwin93 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 For the supplemental, I was wondering if people were writing entire essays or just a few paragraphs for each prompt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenab1 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I wrote a few solid paragraphs, but there was a definite beginning, middle and end to make it more like an essay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corpsman89 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 On the frist question I went a little in depth--I think 5 paragraphs. On the second one I think I only wrote up two. We'll see what happens. -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
student 123456 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 4 paragraphs for the first, 5 for the second but like kenab1 i had a clear start, middle, conclusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnpa210 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I wrote about 10 sentences for the first part and one short paragraph for the second and still landed an interview. The admissions committee told me my answers were too long last year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdbhakta Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Seriously?? I wrote a few paragraphs and just turned them in... Hope they don't look down upon me explaining my views Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnpa210 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Okay so maybe I was being a little dramatic...my answers weren't that short. I just looked over my supplemental response and it was actually 3 paragraphs for the first question and 1 paragraph for the second question.

pdbhakta Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Sounds like a difficult school to get into if they're running interviews that deep Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsman89 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I think its just what they have to do because they receive so many applications. I would imagine every school is similar. -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sig194 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Don't get caught up on paragraph length, guys. Just be sincere and use the space you need to fully convey your thoughts and feelings on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomasj82 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'll be there July 18-19, with interviews in the afternoon! See you all soon. Good luck to those who haven't heard back yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsman89 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 My interview is set for July 21-22 with actual interview in the AM on the 22nd. I plan on getting there sometime on the 20th, so if anyone is interested in meeting up the night before, PM me! I think it would ease our nerves quite a bit! -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdbhakta Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'll find out if I have an interview sometime this week... I'm actually going to a genetics conference in LA this weekend so with all the money I'm spending already... Traveling for PA school is gonna leave me all dry haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsman89 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 As a laboratory professional myself I wish you luck! Yes these airline tickets are not cheap, let alone the hotel! Im lookin at about 700-1000 for this trip alone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxwin93 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 It's been about a week and a half since I submitted my supplemental. Considering the fast turnaround time for an interview invite, do ya'll think I should be worried since I haven't heard anything yet? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdbhakta Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Same here! UCWV has taken two weeks to evaluate my application now... Not sure if I'll get an interview :/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenab1 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 I wouldn't worry too much. I applied right at the beginning of the cycle, probably before the bulk of applications showed up, so they could get to it faster. They probably have a higher volume to look through at this time in the cycle, so just be patient! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaliet193 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Think it's too late to apply this week if people are already interviewing?? My CASPA is already verified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
