does anyone know when they're sending out the form to sign up for in person visits? the first is supposed to be 9/25 which is less than two weeks away

 

[TheCarotidMasseur]

When can we expect to hear a decision. Interviewed earlier this month.

Got it! Does anyone know if it affects our chances if our interview dates are so late in December?

I think no schools release anything until 10/16

Anyone interviewed yet and willing to share their overall experience?

Anyone interviewed yet and willing to share their overall experience?

We all signed confidentiality forms so technically not allowed to say much (not even the format). But I found it less stressful than an average MMI (have nothing to compare it to) but maybe I got lucky and had nice interviewers. Some questions felt easier to answer than others, but none felt impossible. Didn’t seem like they were trying to “get you” or trick you.

There’s a sample schedule (although not completely accurate) on the portal, and I found some good advice from the SDN thread last year abt what to expect kinda.

As a note, GCSOM used to do traditional rather than MMI and just switched a few years ago, so the SDN interview feedback/questions I think were more outdated/for the previous format. Good to look at but I don’t think anyone would be posting the actual Q’s there. (noticed this before I knew anything abt the interview so this isn’t post II advice or anything)

 

[pittbaddie]

Does attending the on-campus recruitment event make a difference if I've already received an II?

If you haven't interviewed yet, I'd say attending wouldn't hurt. My interview is 10/30 and I'm attending the 10/16 campus visit. I think it'll give me some good material to use to prep for my interview!

 

[signomiii]

We were told it shouldn’t and it won’t be graded, but who knows bc it shows interest and gives you a better idea of the area.

 

[bluejay23]

Is anyone else interviewing Friday (9/22)? If so, have you received the interview agreement form and/or a zoom link? Getting a little worried I haven’t received more info yet.

 

[bluejay23]

Log into the applicant portal > Interview tab > Web Interview

Thank you!!!!!

When did you receive the zoom link for your interview? What time did you log on?

 

[signomiii]

When did you receive the zoom link for your interview? What time did you log on?

I didn’t get anything until 2 nights before my interview (interviewed on a Wednesday morning and got info Monday night). They seem to give out information later.

If I remember correctly I was on the zoom call from 9 AM to ~12 PM EST, including 30 min of checking ID and then some information sessions

Appreciate they let me know so soon and didn’t pull a ghost.

 

[coolhuevos]

Could anyone with pre-II Rs post their complete date, please?

Jeez didn’t realize there was an R wave. Complete since mid July no response yet. I’m wondering the same thing as the guy above.

[additional_classic]

For anyone who has interviewed, were you faced with actors or just "tell me what you would do?" scenarios. No worries if you can't say/signed a form against revealing info!

We all signed a form unfortunately that said we aren’t allowed to discuss anything relating to interview day. Buttttt I recommend skimming parts of last years thread, MCATThiccy described the format pretty well (actors, timing, notes, etc) between his few comments and I found that to be v helpful.

 

[Thorgan17]

Did anyone attend the first campus visit/recruitment day? If so what should I expect and what did you do?

 

[never-giving-up]

Did anyone else receive an information packet on the Abigail Scholars Program in the mail?
