Has anyone heard back for an interview?

[zq1194]

no not yet

I don't believe they are rolling admissions school so that is probably why.

Supplemental app? Do you mean the graduate school application they request all students to fill out?

[katelyn1007]

has anyone gotten an interview so far??

I think EMU usually starts sending out interview invites around the 19th of September.

I applied during the 2017 cycle and got an interview and waitlisted. I think I flubbed a question during the interview about the program's problem-based learning. Since then I have taken upper-division biochemistry and genetics courses. Last 60 GPA is 3.8, pre-req GPA is 3.9, sGPA is 3.2, GRE 320, prior master's degree in speech-pathology, and 15000 hours experience as a medical SLP treating swallowing disorders. Hopefully it's my turn this year.

Good luck! I'm nervous that my GRE scores are going to hold me down... may need to retake. Wasn't sure how to prepare the first time around. What was the time frame between getting the email, the interview and then the determination if you remember? Just curious!! 

[laferri2]

If I recall correctly, I think interview invites usually roll out between the middle and end of September. Interviews happen in October. I think I got my waitlist notice in the beginning of November but people were getting accepted before then. Back in 2017 they interviewed like 130 people, accepted 30, and waitlisted 30.

Not yet! I read the forums from the last few years and it sounds like they get sent out the last week of September. Almost the last business day... so it's looking like closer to 9/30! I keep checking my email every few hours. Good luck to you. Let us know what you all hear!!!

Back in 2017 I was contacted on 9-27, so hopefully invites will start rolling out by Friday.

[CMichPrePA]

Looks like we will not be hearing back as to exactly how they will be conducted online until after October 11th. 

Good luck everyone!:)

Do you mind sharing your stats? GPA, GRE score, etc.?

[Mm1989]

I also got an interview invite today, very excited! Is anyone familiar with the online Kira Assessment online interviews? Was it conducted like this last year? 

[journey2pa]

i also received an interview today! very strange how the interview format is online...

[ZackMell]

Also received an interview invitation today. The online format should be interesting.

[RMariner]

No interview this time... But now I've got more time to boost up my resume and take some more classes. I only applied to EMU this time around. Does anyone mind posting their stats who recieved invites?

[gallivaa]

I received an interview invitation as well! This will be my first of the cycle! Good luck to all of you

[laferri2]

I got a rejection notice. Last time I was one of the top people on the waitlist, this time I don't even get an interview after taking more upper-division classes.

Good luck to everyone who got an interview, but I am starting to think this isn't going to work out for me.

[Bwatt25]

For those of you who got an interview, do you mind sharing stats? I felt like I had a very strong application but was rejected. Thanks in advance!
