socalgirl91 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Hey everyone, it was so good seeing some of you guys on interview day. Thanks to the mentorship committee for making it a positive experience. It might just be me over analyzing but did anyone leave their interview thinking they should've said more and answered some questions differently? I was so nervous i completely blacked out and felt like i didnt answer some questions to the best of my ability.. This waiting period is so stressful!

I know I felt that way about some afterwards, like I should’ve included this or that or have come from a different angle. But they understand and as long as you showed them your personality, you gave them what they needed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalgirl91 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Thanks dmvcam, I only applied to EVMS so i hope this works out! Admission offers went out about 8 days after the interview last year, maybe this year will be similar. Best of luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He heard his the next Friday. I guess he was part of the “first wave” of acceptances. And same about only applying to EVMS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely blanked out for a bit on 1-2 questions, but I am hopeful they will review us again holistically, and understand that nerves get the better of people! Best of luck!

Ebony Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 So I am curious ... I was looking at last year's thread on here and from what I can tell people found out on July 24th/July 25th that they were accepted and then I didn't see another wave of invites...and then people have 10 days to respond and then after that is that when people are waitlisted ? Did I miss a wave ? I did not see other days where people got notification that they were accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalgirl91 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I was looking at last years thread too! Seems like the only email 10 days after was the waitlist notification? It could be that those who got the second round of acceptance arent posting. Just speculations at this point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 24th is a Saturday for us, so I’m not sure about that date this year. Definitely speculations, stay positive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmvcam Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I’m thinking maybe everyone accepted on the first wave? Lol who knows. Can you imagine being waitlisted and then hearing about acceptance in December?? That would be nuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw where someone came off the waitlist in like early January, (~Jan. 7). That would really be nuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like they send out more admission offers as people decline their spot instead of having a set time frame for a second waive. Not sure how much of the interview is being factored into the entire package but definitely trying to stay positive! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also wondering the weight of the interview...did they seem pretty short/concise to anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the interviewer definitely had an impact on the vibe of your interview and how you felt afterwards. Some of them seemed more interested in what current students and previous interviewees had described - seemed like they wanted to get to know you. But I am just trying to think back on the questions that were actually asked and I'm just at a loss for how those few questions were gauged to determine our fate. It just wasn't as in depth as I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 10 days to respond and pay deposit and then they start inviting off the waitlist, which can happen up until the day before classes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there! you go into the interview with points based off our application (1st wave invites having the most points). You are also scored based on your interview. Those two scores are combined and top 80 are offered seats and then there is a waitlist. The interview is 50% of your score. 20 minutes doesn’t seem like a lot of time, but if you’re concise with your answers, they would have time to dig deeper or ask follow-up. You can really get a good gauge of a person in twenty minutes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much of the interview is being factored into the entire package but definitely trying to stay positive! As I stated below, interview is 50% of your score. You go into the interview with points based on application (1st wave having the most points heading into interview). Your interview is scored and those two scores are combined. Top 80 are offered seats. Last year, all seat offers were sent the same day. We had 10 days to accept and pay deposit (although I think most of us did it that day because we were so excited) and then if they have seats or if someone decides to go elsewhere, they start inviting from the waitlist. If you’re waitlisted, you will be notified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, thank you so much as always - you're great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalgirl91 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Thanks, Lauren for the clarification, makes a lot more sense now! Hoping to hear some good news this Friday. I left the interview feeling like I answered all the questions but since the interview was blind… I wonder if I should’ve talked about my experiences more . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
