CrossfitEMT Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 There are a bunch of places, not sure which springhill suites you will be staying at. There is the Ghent area of norfolk that has a lot of local food places. At MacArthur Mall you have some of your franchise places. If you trave about 15 minutes there is Town Center in Virginia Beach which also has some good places to eat. There is also the oceanfront but with it being the middle of the summer it will have a lot of tourists there. So all and all there are a lot of options :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossfitEMT Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 For those of you who have not heard anything yet. I've been told by a former applicant, that they do the interview requests in batches. SO basically the first batch has gone out and there will be more. I don't know what the criteria is for who gets sent information when. There is also only 72 hours after being notified of getting an interview to accept. If you don't then the spot is freed up. I have several friends who are waiting and I know it is difficult. Nothing but the best of luck, prayers, fingers crossed, or whichever will work for you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alnK Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Congrats to all who got an interview invite. Hope to meet some of you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummph Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hi, thought I would jump in here to clarify. From the posts I have read, I think you have it right. The invitations go out in batches until we have about 160 interviewees for our 80 or so seats in the class. Interviews will be July 25, 26, and 28. Good Luck everyone!

mlbarefoot Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thank you for the information. Is there an estimate of when the next batch will go out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ummph Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Each group has 72 hours to respond. So there are likely to be a few batches in the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamWolo Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Is anyone already accepted into a program and still going to interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I was accepted into MCPHS-Worcester. But EVMS was my first choice and I'll take the interview. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girlyEMT92 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm assuming the next batch will go out 72 hours from the ones sent today. Try to stay positive! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossfitEMT Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Not to sound like I'm downplaying the wait and frustrations that people are feeling.... but it's been said before: Until you get an email stating otherwise don't count yourself until an email says otherwise. They had an influx of over 400 additional applications so it's probably been very difficult to go thru each app and choose. Best of luck and I'll continue to pull for everyone!

mongo73 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I was told by a friend currently in the program "final verdict should be handed down by the end of the month". I am still waiting also.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM PA-C Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Greetings everyone! I know it's hard waiting for those emails (been there, done that), but please be patient! You will hear from the program soon. For those of you who have received invites, CONGRATULATIONS!!! The class of 2016 is super excited to meet you during interviews. As part of the leadership team, I know that the Mentorship Committee & Social Chairs are planning on hosting an informal meet and greet with other students. Please stay tuned as they hash out the details. Best of Luck, EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emergencymed Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Still haven't heard anything yet. My theory is that they send out a new batch of interviews every three business days around 3pm. I have heard that EVMS has a point system that they use to determine whether or not someone is qualified to be in the program. These points are based off of things such as cumulative GPA, pre-req gpa, clinical experience, etc. So the people that got an interview offered June 4th have the highest number of points according to their system, so they were invited for the first round of interviews. After that, the applicants have 72 hours to respond whether or not they accept or reject the interview. So every time someone turns down the interview or doesn't respond whether or not they will make the interview, a spot opens up and a new batch can be sent out. Everyone who hasn't heard anything from EVMS yet are on a list waiting for others to turn down/ignore their interview. If they are invited for an interview, that means a spot opened up for them. If they are rejected then that means EVMS ran out of interview spots. Those who are not qualified for the program at all have already received their rejection letter in May.

You said people already received rejection letters? . So, the math doesn't make sense! If they send out 144 invites that leaves about 36 spaces more or less depending on who rejects/ accepts the invitation, right? So, if they are looking to invite 180 people to interview, why not just send them all out at once and apply the same concept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
