i’m wondering the same thing. I know the original email said if you don’t hear anything it means they are still reviewing it but i’m not even sure when i’ll get any sort of update

Waiting is apart of the process. This is still early in/middle of the cycle. I wouldn’t reach out personally

Hi everyone, congratulations on your interviews! My interview is for November 3rd. Anybody have any insight or pointers about the interview? I received the schedule and the nerves are starting to settle in.

I went! They started an hour early without emailing everyone, so it was pretty much over by the time everyone got on lol, but they reviewed the info for everyone. If anyone has questions I can answer them!

Don't stress too much about it! The group interview is honestly pretty chill and gives you time to think about what you want to say. You'll have a panel of 3 faculty members and 2 other applicants will be with you! The writing sample is basically another interview or application style question, so I'm not really sure what the point of it was. I made like a 58 on the a&p quiz, and was still accepted, so don't stress over it. Also, it may seem like a long day, but after lunch, you are just waiting for them to call you in one by one to find out if you were accepted, so it really isn't too bad. I turned down my acceptance due to being accepted at a different school. Good luck to you all!!

Honestly no haha! It was very broad. Some questions were super basic but others were more in depth. But like I said, you really don’t need to worry about it!!

this was stated in my confirmation email:

”The application review process will begin in June 2023. Interviews will start in July 2023 and run through May 2024”

Just had my interview yesterday and GOT ACCEPTED! It is a great school with very personable faculty. For all the future interviewees: truly don’t stress(I know easier said than done). It is a very comfortable environment because they just want to see you naturally!
