Have you reached out to them via email?

[swimdoc1007]

II just now! IS, complete 9/30

 

[Hemiacetal]

Just received an ii! IS, complete 11/18.


I was shocked to see that the interview is only 20 minutes with two faculty. Not sure if this means two, 20 minute interviews or one with two faculty

Thanks for the clarification!
Is this the main thing that they're evaluating us on, or is the "team-based Learning" exercise also evaluated?

Wow that was a quick turnaround! Do you have ties to the central valley?

Yeah, I'm surprised how quick it was too! I'm from the Bay, but work/ went to school in the Central valley

Hi everyone! I was wondering if any other students who interviewed on 12/14, other than the two who received an A last week, have heard back yet. Congratulations to both students who were accepted!

Thank you for giving all these details without people asking + opening another II slot. You the real MVP

LOLLL now i feel like a... (can't think of the adjective but not good )! I just assumed some of the details that I would have asked someone who got an II especially since I've heard nothing from this school since late august!

 

[dantheman93]

Does anyone know when the most recent interview invites were sent out and when will the next round of interviews be sent out ? Patient;y waiting to hear back from this school.

 

[dantheman93]

[cardiology4life]

Yes! Upload it to your portal and email them as well to notify them with a pdf of your update(s)

 

[premed0516]

Just interviewed here,

i would really love to go here, but not feeling so great about my interview. Hoping for some miracle.

 

[Aiguo]

Would love to know this too!

If either of you finds out can you update us? they gave me a sassy email response in November & looks like they extended the application deadline to 3/1. I tried calling a few times, but no answer.

I think they extended the app cycle from February to March, right?

Internally crying xD

 

[Black Mamba Gene]

I have interview here coming up and am very excited as this is my #1 choice. Does anybody know what the group activity is and have any tips?

Thank you!

There is no group activity? maybe you are referring to TBL session?

 

[Aiguo]

Yep looks like it. I think a lot of people have withdrawn acceptances recently

 

[Jeanne d'Arc]

Yep looks like it. I think a lot of people have withdrawn acceptances recently

Really? That means the waitlist movement might occur soon!!!!

 

[cardiology4life]

Ahhh if only 😭 them extending their deadline probably means they’re trying to interview more applicants for offering additional acceptances. Significant WL movements will probably happen around late April and May

 

[Meowster007]

Praying for those of us on the WL!

 

[Black Mamba Gene]

There is no group activity? maybe you are referring to TBL session?

Yes ! I'm talking about the TBL session

 

[premed0516]

Any 1/11 interviewees hear back yet, or expect to hear back today?

Were you part of the morning or afternoon session if you don’t mind me asking

 

[thoob718]

No problem, I was a part of the afternoon session

Can any current students speak to how many in-person classes are mandatory? Or are there lots of streaming/virtual options? My wife just interviewed at Stanford and Pali Alto for grad school which is 3 hours away from Fresno. I’ve been accepted to CHSU already and am worried about how we are going to make this situation work. If most of the classes were virtual, then I could commute any other days, but I was hoping for some current student input!

I thought that all classes were in person?

From what I’ve seen in this thread is that classes are mandatory and in-person even with Covid-19. Especially since the nature of the curriculum involves team-based learning

Right they have large classrooms tho and they all wear masks

Looks like yet another waitlist since I haven’t heard back yet.
