GreatChecko Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 I interview on October 30-31. 1st question: Does a later date mean anything?It means nothing :)Unless something has drastically changed, which I haven't heard, there will always be an equal number of open seats as interviewees in a particular group. In other words, each interviewee will be interviewing for a seat and not a spot on the wait list. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meeyuhh Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Just got a call today for an interview! I see a few people saying that GRE is a major factor in their decisions, however, my GRE sucked. Lol. I got a 302 total in verbal and quantitative, and a measly 3.0 in my writing. The first time I took it, I got a 4.0 in my writing! Idk what happened, but they still invited me for an interview, so don't give up hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navydoc8406 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Hooray! Got the call from Karen this morning for the 10/30-10/31 interview period. Slightly awkward getting the word having just sat down on the commode to do some business and then abruptly aborting the mission to dive for the phone, but that's how it happens. Also, my GRE scores were pretty mediocre, (158V 149Q 3.5 writing) so don't anybody give up hope based on that metric. Somewhat surprised I got the invitation - another school actually asked that I retake the GRE in order to interview there even. I also have 0 'formal' shadowing and 0 volunteer hours, but a rock solid GPA, references, and 8 years of military medical experience. Very excited to meet some of y'all there. UF was my undergrad school and I live in Gainesville if anyone has any questions about the town or just logistics. Good luck everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirlTKD Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hello ladies and gents! I sent an email to admissions asking for an update under the guise of "I just wanted to make sure you received my GRE scores..." and wanted to share the reply, for anyone else who is also playing the waiting game: Our Admissions Committee is working diligently to process over 1,500 applications we received this year. Applications are processed in the order of their “Completion Date”. As you can imagine, our application review process is quite extensive. We will contact you if we require any documentation. Thank you for your patience. So...nothing to fear! I submitted late July, FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you as I submitted my CASPA on July 26th. Does anyone know if you can send updates to UF for CASPA updates? I know it varies from school to school, but I emailed inquiring about it a week ago and have not gotten a response. Don't want to be the person to keep asking, especially when they're probably knee deep in reviewing applicants at the moment! I'm new to the board and a first-time applicant! Best wishes to everyone and the upcoming cycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes to everyone and the upcoming cycle!You absolutely can, especially if it's a new score or grade. They forecast your HCE as if you continued working until you start, so unless its a new job, there's no need to update that.Send them an email with the information. They may not respond quickly, but they will do their best to add it to your file Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAtoPAC Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hi everybody, I got the "your application has been forwarded for review" email on May 30th, but haven't heard from them since. I have a feeling it's not looking good - should I check in to see what my application status is? Or just continue to wait? Congrats to everyone who has been accepted!
