Received the same e-mail on October 7th and got my interview invite on October 10th...so three days for me.
Pretty much the same for me--initial email on the 7th and the invite on the 9th.

Awesome to see so much early success in this thread and the acceptance thread!
The only thing else to say about interviews this cycle is......COME ON BARRY & AZPOD!!! ANY DAY NOW WOULD BE FINE!!!

..she said that there are only a few interview spots on schedule for 2009 with the majority being in 2010 after the New Year.
I am really upset that AZPod has decided to post pone interviews this long...especially since I just got accepted to Scholl and they require their deposit within 2 weeks!! So it looks like I won't be visiting AZPod...I just can't justify spending airfare, hotel, and possibly losing deposit money at Scholl and DMU when I've already been accepted. I was looking forward to visiting AZPod.
royal rooters,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I didn't ask Scholl for an extension so I'm not sure. As for DMU vs. Scholl...they are both great schools. The facilities at DMU are truly amazing. DMU is very technologically advanced. After much thought I'm going with Scholl. It just feels like a better fit. Plus I want to stay in Illinois and for the 2009 match Scholl grabbed 22 of the 27 residency position in Illinois.
Is there an interview feedback page for podiatry? I have no idea how to prepare. I only applied to AZpod, so any advice would be wonderful.
OCPM is offering 15 dates from now until Jan 29 for interviews.
All of them will be on a Wed or Fri.
Wed will be 9a-12p
Fri 9a-3p
I received an interview invitation from NYCPM and OCPM. I was wondering if anyone had an estimate on how many interviewees get accepted? Basically my question is if you get an interview what is the probability that you will be accepted? (assuming you don't mess up the interview)
Thanks
At Temple the person I interviewed with told us that basically if we were interviewing then we could probably assume we were accepted unless we totally botch the interview.
I'm interviewing and touring this week and I wasn't sure if I can or should bring someone with me. I'm not traveling alone and I don't want them to have to wait in the hotel for six hours. I called the school and they said it was fine, but I wanted to know what some other people thought or did. Thanks!
You definitely can bring someone along, but I would take a second to think about whether or not it projects an image that you don't want. By that I just mean that you should decide whether bringing someone projects the image that you are not independent, or whether it doesn't bother you or the person you bring if they are the only non-interviewee there. We talked about this a while back here :http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=621109. I have seen boyfriends, parents, etc, but they are not that common.I'm interviewing and touring this week and I wasn't sure if I can or should bring someone with me.

Go alone. Some shi*head brought his mom on the interview day (or maybe she brought him!). Mormon kid brought his parents and girlfriend/wife. It was all unnecessary. The day is all about you, not anyone else. Tell them to go to the hotel pool and chill a bit, yall can go to dinner afterwards. And if you are going to CSPM, Ohio, or Barry you can even celebrate your same day acceptance!!!
Ok so "anyone with a pulse" can get into Nycpm, Ohio, cspm and barry. Temple accepts Gre and Dat. OH MY.
So that leaves DMU, Scholl and Azpod as the "good schools"?
Does anyone have any statistics concerning first time board passing rates from school to school? Specifically OCPM?
I heard 76% first time pass rate for the last ohio kiddies who took the exam. It's either the lowest or 2nd lowest pod school passing rate (something to think about IMO). As I mentioned recently, the school with a below average pass rate has the highest amount of perfect 4.0 students - makes you wonder about the curriculum over there...
I have never heard anything about Barry's 1st time pass rate - probably just as low or worse than ohio.
