mollylou89 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I just want to say thank you to everyone for the encouraging words and advice! The positivity and helpfulness on South's forum speaks volumes for the caliber of students who attend and apply to this program! My interview is coming up in a few weeks and I couldn't be more excited! Good luck to everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akrenner0991 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 How long did it take everyone from the time the program received all your information to when they offered you an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prepaapplicant201617 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Does anyone know if South sends out a rejection email to those that will not receive an interview as they decide, or do they wait till their class is full to let everyone know?

pa1018 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 C/O 2018 student here. Just wanted to help those applying because I remember how helpful it was reading these posts as an applicant. Here are some general things I can help answer. South interviews till May. So even if you submitted your application early(like in June) you could receive an interview in April so don't lose hope. You might be one of the lucky ones and submit your app in Feb and be invited for an interview next month. Idk if they send out rejection letters before May, but I would think that if you haven't received a rejection letter, you are still in that maybe pile? South looks at you at your whole app so don't think you don't have a chance if you have a low HCE, GPA, GRE, etc,. I don't think they update you on your app status so it is a waiting game.

I've read somewhere on these posts that they do 6-7 interview days pervasive through may. ~ 30-35 students I believe. One interview each month.

USF17 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Has anyone received a rejection from South yet? I applied early (september), and haven't heard anything other than when I updated my transcripts. Just wondering if they send rejection letters continuously, or only after all interviews are competed? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yimbo Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Any last minute tips for an interview?

I know it's a group interview but any real specific information one might need to know relating to the school/program? Feel pretty comfortable heading into it for the most part Very cliche, but be yourself. You have the group interview first and then an individual interview. Do well in your group one because admissions will tell you if you're accepted, waitlisted, or rejected during your individual interview (they've already made up their mind when they call you for your individual "interview"). If you are a maybe, it's possible they could use the individual one to get to know you a little better if they are on the fence (don't count on this). Basically, be yourself and do well in your group one. As for the school/program specific questions, I think you will be fine with general knowledge about the program from the school's website.

How long are the group interviews? Also, do they throw out questions for whomever to answer or is it in an orderly fashion? how many questions do they ask in the group interview?

CaliforniaKid Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Does anyone know how much the group interview weighs in comparison to the rest of our application? As in, if you killed the interview could that make up for weaknesses elsewhere in your application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaKid Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Does anyone know if we get a confirmation of our interview date after emailing Deborah? Should I just assume they received my email?
