PaigeThePA Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I interviewed on 8/3, and they had briefly mentioned that they waitlist a higher proportion of the applicants from the earlier interviews to see what applicants they get later in the cycle. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, but something along those lines. I just wanted to know if I misinterpreted that, and if not, do you think it's a significant difference compared to later interviews? Their reasoning makes sense, but that made me feel so crushed that my odds are less likely to get accepted because I had one of the first interview dates :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let see how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schiersm Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Accepted! The checklist showed up on my portal this afternoon and I called admissions to verify. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltMartini Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Congratulations Schiersm! I also interviewed and hope to join you in the Fall!! I called today at 09:55 AM and was told to check tomorrow morning. The accepted and matriculation page remain unchanged for me with their default messages. Last year, after I interviewed with Midwestern, no new messages meant you were waitlisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenbee88 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Accepted! The checklist showed up on my portal this afternoon and I called admissions to verify. Good luck everyone!I experience the same thing. Checked my portal around 1:30pm and saw a list of requested documents. I have just called in and got the acceptance confirmed. The admission staff said we can expect a phone call or an email within 2 days. Congrats to you and good luck to everyobe else :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantenso Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The checklist showed up for me too! I feel so much better now that I have a solid option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaigeThePA Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Congratulations to everyone who was accepted! No change on my portal so I called and they told me they had me down as an alternate :( I'm assuming they don't go through their waitlist until they finish all of their interviews right?

Not necessarily. During the intro she said they continually evaluate the alternates throughout the interview process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my second year applying to Midwestern; I was waitlisted for an interview within three days last cycle. I have yet to hear anything this cycle, however. I received the email that my application was under review on June 3. Anyone in the same boat? I am starting to feel a bit discouraged. I know how you feel. My application was complete and they said it was under review as of May 19, and I have yet to hear. I can see that some people have interviewed and been accepted, and I'm starting to lose hope too ?

Mantenso Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 This past Thursday and Friday were just the first two days of interviews. From what I understand, they will continue through January until the 90 seats are filled. Don't lose hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8lin Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Finally got the balls to call them today after my interview last week, waitlisted. For those in a similar situation, the admissions person I talked to said to not really expect any updates or changes in status until December/January when they conclude interviews. Sending good vibes to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellopaschool Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Quick update: I got a letter in the mail from MWU saying that I am on the alternates list. So check your mail box if you haven't heard anything yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvick1590 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 What is the format for the interview? I was just curious as I received an invite to their campus in Illinois which utilizes the MMI format. Does anyone know about Midwestern Arizona and how they conduct interviews?

mt0701 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 For those that have interviewed or if anyone knows, do the PA students take anatomy with the Med/PT students at the Glendale campus like they do at the Downer's Grove campus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's still a group interview format at the Glendale campus. The MMI format for the Downer's Grove campus is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifft21 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Received an email to schedule an interview on 8/18. Application complete email on 5/20. Need to call them on Monday to see if they have more dates as their current ones conflict with another previously scheduled interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be very proud:) Get there a little early so that you can meet the other interviewees. It's a good chance to relax and get to know the others you will be interviewing with. Dress professionally, but keep in mind you will be going on a campus tour, so make sure what you wear will be comfortable in the heat. The interview itself is a done in a small group. There aren't set questions - they're more based on what your specific experiences and personal statement say. If there are any weaknesses in your experiences, know what they are and be ready to speak to them. Overall, relax and be yourself. Your stats got you this far - this is your chance for them to get to know you personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
