I got an email from them around 5:30pm saying that I'm being moved into the "interview pool, second wave" . It says they may want to interview me after the first round of interviews is over and they would contact by the end of September for an interview in October. So I guess I'm still in the running? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was challenging (essay-writing, group discussion, MMIs) and personally unnerving due to the committee's decision being made just hours after the completion of the interview. All things considered, I didn't necessarily enjoy the interview, but everyone is different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The faculty do everything they can to calm your nerves and are very welcoming. But all of the events of the interview are quite stressful. Try to “raise your hand” as quickly as possible in the group discussion. I was unable to answer the last question due to time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there's an essay that you have to write within a 30 minute time frame, they give you a specific prompt during the interview. The group discussion lasts for another 30 minutes. A faculty member asks each question and each student generally answers the question after using the "raise your hand" feature on Zoom. Good luck!

mypathtoPA Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Did the interview today and GOT REJECTED I just feel like having good enough stats is not enough for them.

I felt like I was really exuberant and upbeat in my interview. Got some nods AND good feedback during, I talked a lot in an effort to be less rehearsed. Even so, got REJECTED anyway. Decision was out by 3:45 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have great stats and I thought I interviewed well but I just don’t think they believed I fit their program, and they might be right! I felt good after my interview, I made some of them laugh and smile, and I was being my best self. You will get in where you belong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were definitely laughing and smiling throughout the time they were interviewing me. I felt all positive vibes and felt like I did extremely well and was very authentic as well. However, I feel like that wasn't enough and heard back within 2 hours with a rejection unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
