I'm so excited that I went on the portal and found out I have an interview for the 30th!! Does anyone know the most recent numbers of how full the class is now? They have an app set up for all the accepted students and as of right now there are only 32 of us using it if that helps at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m confused as to whether or not I need to tell them that I graduated lol. It’s on my application, though. Hmmm Yeah mine is the same way. But I completed my Bachelors in 2015. Everything is checked off except the Bachelors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utpa17 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I received an interview invite for Jan 30th yesterday. I am super surprised because I have not heard from them since June 1 & I am from out of state. So don't lose hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for that information. That seems like a low number, but I'm sure there are more accepted students out there who are deciding between other programs. And a whoooole lot more on the waitlist already haha 57 minutes ago, mvick1590 said: They told us Friday that the Jan 30th interview would be the last of the interviews they plan on having! I hope I just kill it in the interview so I can stay in state. I have lived 10 minutes away from Midwestern for the past 14 years and went to their high school program back in the day so I'm so ecstatic I finally made the interview cut!! How did you find out that is the last group of interviews on Friday, did you call the admissions department or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longhornalum Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Has anyone got an interview off the waitlist? I was put on the interview waitlist and have yet to hear back from them ever since they put me on the waitlist back in August. Pretty sure I won’t get an interview but just wondering if anyone has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haley2424 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I called admissions. There are 100 accepted (while people drop daily, even those who have made a deposit) and there are 202 on the alternate list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone that is on the alternate list, those numbers are super discouraging! It's like they are waitlisting everyone that interviewed that wasn't accepted right away.

PorscheFuture Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 How can there be 100 accepted if there are 90 seats and more interviews to come? People really withdraw their acceptances that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been doing this for a while so they probably know how many people they need to accept and how many need to be on the waitlist to be comfortable. Keep in mind a lot of people interview at multiple places and all schools have different acceptance time periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a waitlist of 200 is padded enough. I think they want to accept their first choices before they bring people over from the waitlist. I saw current student post saying that about 20-30% of her class was accepted from the waitlist though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDH273 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I have also been invited to the interview on the 30th! I am hopeful although it seems that there is quite a waitlist already! I was just wondering if anyone knew if the interview process was still just a group interview of 3 people and 2 faculty members, or if there was also a writing sample or anything else like some other schools do?

Group interview, 3 candidates and 2 faculty members - it goes by super quickly! If I remember correctly, we had some informational sessions and a tour before the interviews, then a break for complimentary lunch at the cafeteria, and a Q&A with current first year students. No writing sample or anything else scary like that. Make sure you eat a good breakfast, it is a long day despite being over in the early afternoon :) Best of luck!
