*** Official 2009-10 Interview Invite Thread for US Schools ***

[Rach]

Thanks guys. I was sure I was put on hold but Baylor seems to do things differently from most other schools so you're never really out of the running until the end....

[trickybox]

congrats Rach!

 

just to clarify though, baylor accepts canadians who went to canadian undergrad? or did you do your undergrad in the U.S., lol.

I'm not sure what their policy is. I did my undergrad in the US but someone posted recently that they called and were told that Baylor does accept Canadians with Canadian undergrad.... I'll search for that post if it helps.

Rach, congrats! Baylor is amazing!!

 

It was so relaxed and they were so nice! They are very much into honesty and truth, so they told us absolutely everything, including the questions that we were going to be asked prior to the interview. I am second guessing everything I said but I really do hope I get in It's such a wonderful school. I hope many of you get interviews there as well!

 

PS. I'll get you the complete EVMS date tomorrow

 

How/when was yours c17h?

 

wrightm6, I was a little skeptical when you first posted this, but I had the same experience!

 

The Admissions Coordinator told us what questions we were going to be asked and those questions were asked! Very easy, very standard questions. My Georgetown interview was 20 to 25 mins, 6 questions and no difficult/ethical questions. It was very conversational, and I really enjoyed my experience there. They really cared about helping you feel included and giving you a true sense of the school...and I think they captured that very well...very impressed and I would love to go to this school.

thanks for the insight on your georgetown interview c17h, btw did you do student hosting or did you stay in a hotel? I'm not entirely sure yet what to book lol.

The student hosting program wasn't running when I had my interview. The students who gave us our tour told us that it would be starting in the coming weeks. Most of the other interviewees stayed at the Georgetown Conference Center (literally beside the med school building) or at the local Holiday Inn/Best Western. Call the Interview Coordinator to see if student hosting is available. I booked a room at the Holiday Inn (about a 5 minute drive from the Med School) from their online website, and it was a reasonable rate (about $80 US).

 

Did you guys send a "thank you" note to your interviewers? If so, did you contact the Admissions Office/Interview Coordinator for their information?

Congrats on such a great interview c17h! Yes, I sent a thank-you note to my interviewer. I had asked her for her e-mail address before I left on interview day.

I was Amcas verified sometime in early August. Still have not heard from Vandy. Should leave all the hopes?

[Rach]

I'm in the same boat and I'm pretty certain that if we haven't gotten an invite by now, our rejection is coming. From what I've seen, the invites arrive first, then rejections trickle in later. Most people complete in early august are now receiving rejections. Though I suppose there might be exceptions!

 

ETA: I guess I shouldn't crush your dreams unless I know what date Vanderbilt sent you the "complete" email. I got it on Aug 4th and I have little hope. Hopefully you were complete later on and you still have a shot.

[Gitanjali]

congrats on Boston rmitch!! omg thats so biggg. I had Boston on my list but then i took it off because I saw on their website that the majority of their marticulants are from Ivy league schools such as JHU, Harvard etc so I took it off. Do you think its worth a shot for me, considering how late it is in the app procedure. My stats are:

3.91 AMCAS gpa

35S MCAt - 10 in VR, 12 in BS and 13 in PS

EC - Average nothing flashy

I'd definitely go for it! Your MCAT is almost identical to mine and you have a better GPA. I didn't go to an Ivy school either.

 

I remember the secondary work being minimal, so if you don't mind paying the fee I would do it up. Based on your numbers, you have a great shot.

Congrats on BU rmitch! Guess I'll be heading to SUNY too, let me know how your interview goes.

ETA: on the other hand, is your interview date at the end of this month? We might be on the same day....

[rmitch8]

Congrats rach! I'm heading down to interview next Wednesday, on the 23rd. I'm still working on finishing up those two surprise essays

 

I'll definitely let you know how mine goes. Which day are you interviewing?

I'm interviewing the last week of september..... I hate that even though it's relatively close, it takes 2 flights to get there. ETA: I guess it's faster to drive there than fly.... will be nice to save the $500.

 

Not sure when I'll have time to do my OMSAS application.

[JC5]

and then I realized I would be willing to have many bad days in succession for each interview invite.

 

Guess I'll join the Upstate party.

Rach, sorry to hear about your interview dilemma, hopefully you'll get an alternative interview date from Jefferson instead!!
