They did say they would probably meet this week, but I assume that would be after their interview days this week which I think would be today and Thursday. My guess would be that some people might hear next week—possibly this Friday at the absolute earliest. Historically it looks like they extend invites 2+ weeks after. I really hope you're right-- I'm dying to hear back! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ngab234 3 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 So the interview is not MMI right its just one 30 minute session with a faculty member and alumni? Trying to get any info I can. Any tips are appreciated for those who have already interviewed! This is going to be my first one and I am a wee bit terrified. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It may have 2 faculty or 1 faculty member and 1 alumni. They release the names of those interviewing you a few days prior so you can research them! Mine had a lot in common with me so we were able to have a really great discussion and I honestly couldn't stop smiling even though I was dying leading up to the interview lol. I suspect they tailor the interviewers to the applicant's backgrounds. It's also very relaxed-- I felt like they were trying to advocate for me and delve deeper into my application. Hope it helps! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AnnaSun14 5 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi everyone! I have an interview with this program tomorrow. Question- they sent out an email that says dress code is business casual. I have a suit that I wear for interviews, is that too formal for this? Did you all wear suits or did anyone do true business casual? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wore a blazer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would wear a blazer or jacket! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's first come first serve in terms of choosing from the few interview dates they have available, so probably the other dates got filled up earlier! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just found it strange that the 4-5 options given were the same day repeated. Just wanted to make sure the selection went through and that it wasn't a glitch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had two options that were the same date, I imagine those are the remaining “spots” for the interview if that makes sense. So if you had five options with all the same date, you’d be picking one of the five virtual seats for the interview Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They didn't mention. There's about a 1/4 chance of being accepted and a 1/4 chance of being waitlisted after interview though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PotentialPA317 0 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 @AnaBee123I don't know if they have a set number of seats they give out per week, I think it's just possible to hear back anytime between now and mid-November. I'm freaking out a little though haha I'm still waiting to hear back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
