I got an email saying that I passed the initial screening in June and still haven't heard anything... I am wondering if any of you already contacted school for that? I can’t speak to this situation specifically, but my general experience with applying to programs last year is that if you haven’t heard back yet then they’re still working on it. These forums can give you a false sense of feeling “left behind” because you see people posting about interviews, when the reality is there’s hundreds of other applicants out there still waiting to hear back too. I would advise to be patient, as tough as that is. They probably get bombarded with inquiries already from other anxious candidates.

I applied and passed initial screening back in May and just barely interviewed, so they don't necessarily invite you in the order you applied. If you really want to reach out to them, you can do that, but I'm sure they'll just tell you that they're still working on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddielyman Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Got the email earlier this afternoon saying that I was retained for the competitive applicant pool! Now I get to do more waiting! I’m willing to answer any questions as much as I can and I’ll also hype anyone up who’s doubting themselves! We can do this 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there any questions in the panel interview that threw you off or surprised you? No, it was all pretty straight forward questions. They're just trying to get to know more about you and your personality. The only question that threw me off was because it was a question I had already come up with an answer to, but they wanted something a little different so I had to talk about an experience I hadn't reflected on very much before then. Just be flexible and be confident in you and your life story. Know the experiences that have led you up to this point, both good at bad, so that you can show them that you will be a great addition to their class. Good luck!

dvspa Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 For anyone who hasn't heard back yet, I applied to this program in particular a little later on in the cycle and I just received an email the other day that said something about completing review of applications on 8/15. The exact verbiage was: "Our admission team has reviewed your application and found that you have satisfied our initial screening criteria. Your application will be evaluated by the admissions committee for progression in the admission process. In order to make sure we evaluate each applicant appropriately it may take several days for your application to progress from this point. This step in the application process will be complete by August 15, 2020, however you may be notified sooner regarding your application status. We will contact you once this step in the evaluation is complete." Hope this helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirus Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Just received a rejection email today on 8/12 after receiving their initial evaluation notice on 6/29! Seems like they're finishing up their screening process now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiech Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi all! I got an email earlier today saying I've been "retained in the pool of qualified interview candidates" after interviewing yesterday. Best of luck to all of us! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyudabab Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Does anyone know how many people UOP has in their “pool of qualified applicants”? I believe their class size of 45, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the decision on whether or not you will get an interview. Initially the deadline for that decision was August 15 now they need one more week to finish reviewing applications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their emails, website, and virtual info sessions, UOP specified that: CASPA deadline: August 1, 2020 Interviews time frame: May 2020 - First week of September (if granted interview, applicant will know if they've been retained or not) Final selection of retained interviewees: No later than September 15, 2020 So are you saying that the interview time frame has shifted to September 22 latest and final selections will be around last week of September?

I think they mean the interview time frame has been extended. So interviewees can be informed whether they get an interview until August 21 or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is saying that normally UOP will tell applicants if they get an interview by August 15 but this cycle they extended it until August 22. The Caspa deadline, interview time frame, and date of finally selection of September 15 is all the same. They just gave another week to look over all the applicants and decide who they want to give interviews to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvspa Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Alright y'all, I just received my invitation for interview today and I am SO STOKED! I am scheduled for Wednesday, 9/2. That being said, this is my first year applying and the first interview I'll have. For those of you who have already interviewed, I would love any and all advice you can provide me, I'm so nervous! Any specific topics I should really focus on for interviews? How was the group interview? Did it seem like a more relaxed setting or were the interviews pretty formal? Thanks in advance!

Someone mentioned the words "September 22" and then the dates/months of August and September got messed up in my head. Thanks for the help! Good luck to us all.
