Yup! So keep in mind everyone hears your answers and sometimes you go first, other times you don't. It is closed file. They did ask a lot about our applications and typical scenario questions. Someone PMd me asking if there was one-on-one time with interviewers and I just want to let everyone else know that may be curious that there isn't any one-on-one time, sadly. @Ellesandra319

@nanoreeflover can add, but we started out at a group of ~12 for the 10 minute presentation, then broke out into groups of 3 interviewees, where we chatted for another 10 minutes or so. After that, 2 interviewees joined us and asked questions for about 2.5 hours. They would ask a question, then call on individual interviewees to answer. They took turns picking one of the three of us to go first. At the end, we had the opportunity to add anything that we wanted them to know and ask any questions we had.

I looked at the interview page to prepare for questions that may come up, though I don’t remember any from the interview that were actually asked. If you prep for all of your basic questions you should be able to adapt those answers pretty well to their questions, I think.

Good point! There were definitely no odd ball questions. I think preparing for standard interview questions will prepare you well for what they ask & most importantly be yourself :)

Hello all, Does Ponce send rejections post interview or only acceptances and waitlists? Thanks!

There has been discussion regarding the group interviews for the STL campus on page 3 of this thread. Good luck to you!

I have not heard anything about Ponce PR or St. Louis campuses only giving acceptances or waitlists after an interview.
 
I feel like the St Louis campus should have its own thread.

I was accepted to the main campus recently. Is anyone else in a similar situation as me? I am trying to decide between Ponce, UCC, and SJB at this point as I have been accepted by all of them.

Congratulations on your acceptances!! That’s awesome. May I ask when you interviewed with Ponce? If you’ve been accepted by all them I would look into their match rates, special programs, affiliated hospitals (in case you want to do rotations in the states), teaching methods. I know Ponce in St Louis said they have a flipped classroom teaching style. I’m not sure if the main campus in PR is the same but I would look into all of that and make a decision based on which one resonates more with your goals, how you’ll be learning, and where you want to see yourself geographically throughout those 4 years.

I interviewed with Ponce quite some time ago. I almost assumed they had forgotten about me by now. I interviewed in October.
 
Does anyone know how the facilities are at Ponce? I was under the impression that they would be doing renovations or adding new buildings there but I haven't been able to find any further information.
 
Silence for me since my interview in January. I did get an email from admissions that they are behind due to COVID

For any accepted students taking a required course over the summer before orientation begins, do you know what the minimum grade needed is?

I never got anything after submitting amcas and today I got an email saying to submit secondary on portal. Secondary asks if I am a visiting or international student and then its just basic biographical info. I'm not sure if that's the correct secondary??
