Cause I was verified in august and I didn’t get one either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried the link and still not working. Hopefully they get to fixing it soon. For those interviewing I have a question. I live in a studio and share the space with my fiance who work full time at home and he has meetings. So it makes the most sense to me to doing a Saturday interview option, but do you guys think this puts me in a disadvantage having it later verse the 4th? Not at all. They aren’t rolling admissions so it should not matter. I would prefer the Saturday date but I work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never done that as part of an interview lol I'm sure it will be very straight forward. I have had to do some interviews with a written portion and they are usually questions that are similar to interview questions, or possibly a scenario. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re timed situation-based essay questions somewhat similar format I’m guessing Thanks! I actually took the Casper this cycle for a couple programs. If it’s like that, then I’ll be ok. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think it would put you at a disadvantage at all! There will be people who are accepted/declined/waitlisted from all those interview time slots. There will also be interviews for those who applied after the priority deadline too. Your chances would be the same as an applicant because it is about YOU and not about whatever day the interview lands on. Good luck!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine616 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Sad I didn't receive an interview invite (yet) especially since I had a one on one talk with Chinedu and attended their PA session during the virtual fair. But i already got accepted into one school, just interviewed for another and just got an interview invite for another so I shouldn't be complaining but this and USC were my top schools and I haven't heard from either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve applied to 11 schools this cycle and haven’t gotten any interviews at all, only 4 rejections, so from my perspective it sounds like you’re doing really well Edited November 20, 2020 by alysd Typos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still another round of interviews! If you applied before the priority deadline, you will probably be considered for the next round unless they say otherwise.

If this is the case, you will get an email soon explaining this. The only way you won’t get considered again is if you get a rejection email prior to the second round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sklobos Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I got my invitation to interview Saturday night and scheduled for December 10. This is my first interview hopefully it goes well. Any advice? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first interview hopefully it goes well. Any advice? Congrats! Definitely do your research on the school, program, and area! Have some stories/experiences prepared and practice speaking out loud. Leading up to my first interview, I would talk to myself in the car and in the shower to practice answering questions. And then see if you can do mock interviews! I’m always happy to help and do one if you need someone to practice with. There will probably be a few questions that may throw you off, so it’s okay to take a few seconds after they ask to think about your answer. (I found repeating the question in answer format to start off my answer helped the rest of it flow out lol) Oh and just remember that they like what they see on paper and they want to see you succeed! Just be yourself and let your personality shine through while answering their questions. You’ll do great! good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
